Bristol 2028

The big debut.

Details to be confirmed

A serious championship for allstar cheer and dance — starting with our Bristol debut and growing with the clubs who join us. Format, divisions, scoring and timings are being finalised and are marked TBC.

The format

A format built to grow.

We’re scoping the debut around one thing: a brilliant experience for every team. We’ll start at the size that lets us run a sharp, well-paced competition — and as more clubs come on board, Ignyte grows with them. If the demand is there, that can mean more divisions, more space, and potentially more days.

Whatever the final shape, the fundamentals stay the same: scheduled warm-up rotations, a clear published running order, and enough room backstage so the day never feels like a scramble. Want a say in the format? Tell us what works for your teams.

Venue & travel

Bristol — easy to reach.

We're targeting SGS WISE Arena in Bristol — a genuine arena in the well-connected South West. The venue is provisional: as Ignyte grows we may add dates and cities, so we'll confirm the final venue — with floor plans, warm-up areas and spectator details — here first.

Club rates on hotels & travel.

Transparent scoring

Judged on the UK Scoring System, with the full rubric and legalities released before entries close — no surprises on the day.

Arena production

Proper floor, lighting and sound, with good sightlines for the crowd.

Awards worth winning

Recognition that means something, presented with the energy the day deserves.

The Sportsmanship Award

The award you can't choreograph.

All day long, our staff and judges are watching for it — the teams who cheer loudest for everyone else, pick each other up, and treat volunteers, rivals and officials with respect. Their notes through the day decide our Sportsmanship Award. You can't drill it or choreograph it — you just have to mean it.
