DUO/TRIOS and GROUPS - Top 5
The top placing routine in each division will move on to their final performance of the season in the GRAND FINALE on the final day. The top 3 soloists at the Advanced and Elite divisions will all perform in the GRAND FINALE, with placements announced during the final awards presentation
