TRAVELING TEAM TROPHY

NEW to CNL Season 9 is the traveling Team Trophy!  At the end of each CNL Qualifier, which ever team has the most points, gets to display the traveling trophy in their gym until the next CNL Qualifier.  This magnificent trophy will sit close to the check-in desk for all the athletes and spectators to admire.  At the CNL  Finals, the team that earns the most Team Points will be granted the CNL State Champion Team title and the gym’s name and year will be memorialized on the trophy for all posterity to see. 

How do the Team Points work? Currently, if an athlete finishes 1st in his/her division, the athlete receives 10 points, if 2nd then 9 points, etc.  Those points will go towards the Team Point total.  To make it fair for all gyms, big and small alike, only the points of the top finisher will count towards each gym’s Team Points.

​​​

⚠️ Only One Scorer Per Team, Per Gender, Per Division

• If multiple athletes from the same team finish in the Top 10, only the highest-placing one earns points.​

• Other athletes from that team in the Top 10 do not block others from earning points.

• Example:

  • 1st – Athlete A (Team Red) → 10 points

  • 2nd – Athlete B (Team Red) → 0 points (blocked)

  • 3rd – Athlete C (Team Blue) → 8 points

  • 4th – Athlete D (Team Green) → 7 points

  • Etc.

​

This rule is designed to level the playing field, giving smaller teams a chance to compete fairly with larger programs.
