Under the IASF Cheer Rules (2025-2028) used by BCA:
- A routine may last no more than 2 minutes 30 seconds.
- Non-tumbling routines may last no more than 2 minutes.
- Timing starts with the first movement, voice or note of music, whichever comes first, and ends with the last movement, voice or note, whichever comes last.
Going over costs 0.5 points per second over the limit (for example, deductions start at 2:31 for a 2:30 routine).
