Case Study
NFinity Cheer Tour
Multi-City Arena Competition Production with LED, Lighting & Audio
Client & Event
NFinity Athletic produces the Champions League cheerleading competition series, one of the premier competitive cheer events in the country. The organization demands production quality that matches the athletic caliber of participating teams while meeting strict competition standards for lighting, sound, and visual presentation that judges and broadcast partners require.
Multi-city touring cheerleading competition featuring teams from across the nation competing in arena-scale venues. The production must deliver identical quality at every tour stop — because competition fairness depends on consistent lighting for judges, uniform audio levels for routine music, and reliable video displays for scoring and audience engagement. Each venue presents different infrastructure, but the athlete and audience experience must remain indistinguishable from city to city.
Touring production package for arena competitions including LED video walls for scoring displays and branded content, competition-standard lighting meeting judging visibility requirements, arena PA system optimized for routine music playback and announcements, staging elements, and broadcast integration for streaming. Consistent deployment methodology across all tour stops ensuring identical production quality regardless of venue.

Client Objectives
For a touring competition organization, production quality is not a preference — it is a competitive integrity requirement. Athletes train year-round for these competitions, and the production environment must ensure that every team competes under identical conditions regardless of which city hosts their event. Lighting must meet judging standards, audio must reproduce routine music with competition-grade fidelity, and video systems must support scoring, branding, and audience engagement consistently across every tour stop.

Touring Competition Production
Touring competition production introduces a unique combination of challenges that neither single-venue events nor traditional concert tours fully prepare a production team for. The fundamental requirement is absolute consistency — every arena must deliver identical lighting levels, audio quality, and video presentation because competition scoring depends on it. Unlike concerts where venue character can enhance the experience, competition events require that venue variables are eliminated entirely. Add multi-city logistics, compressed load-in timelines, and broadcast integration requirements, and the production challenge becomes an exercise in systematic reliability.

Discuss Your EventStrategic Production Approach
The strategic foundation of touring competition production is standardization. Every variable that can be controlled must be controlled, and every venue-specific adaptation must be documented and repeatable. Our approach began with designing a self-contained production package that travels complete — no venue-provided equipment dependencies, no local rental supplements, no improvisation. Show files were developed for every competition segment, tested across multiple arena configurations, and locked before the tour launched. The result is a production system that deploys identically whether the venue is a 5,000-seat arena or a 12,000-seat facility.
Standardized Arena Competition Package
Rocket Productions developed a fully standardized touring competition production package designed to deliver identical quality at every venue regardless of arena infrastructure variations. The system was engineered as a self-contained production environment — every component from LED wall processors to lighting fixtures to PA system components travels with the tour, eliminating dependence on venue-provided equipment. Pre-programmed show files ensure that lighting levels, audio settings, and video configurations are replicated precisely at each stop, with venue-specific adaptations limited to rigging point locations and power distribution connections.

Touring across 8+ arena venues means encountering different rigging infrastructures, power distribution systems, loading dock configurations, and local labor requirements at every stop. The production approach must account for these variations while delivering an identical audience and athlete experience. Each venue receives an advance survey that maps rigging points, power locations, dock access, and floor dimensions — allowing the touring package to be pre-adapted before the truck arrives.
Live Event Execution
Competition day execution follows a standardized protocol designed for consistency and reliability. The production team arrives, deploys the standardized package, runs system checks against documented benchmarks, and executes the competition show file. Every transition between competition rounds, award presentations, and intermissions follows the same sequence at every venue. The touring crew maintains direct communication throughout each competition day, with the technical director verifying lighting levels, audio quality, and video functionality against competition standards before the first team takes the floor.
Flawless Competition Tour
Every competition date across the multi-city tour executed with the consistent production quality that competitive events demand. The standardized production package delivered identical lighting levels, audio quality, and video presentation at every venue — ensuring that no team experienced a competitive advantage or disadvantage based on tour stop location. The broadcast integration provided consistent streaming quality throughout the season, and the equipment maintenance protocols prevented any reliability issues across the three-month tour duration.

Production Insights
Touring competition production benefits enormously from a fully self-contained package — any dependence on venue-provided equipment introduces variables that undermine the consistency competitions require
Pre-programmed show files should be locked before tour launch and only modified through a formal change process to prevent venue-to-venue drift
Equipment maintenance windows between tour stops are not optional — they are the primary defense against mid-competition failures that would impact athlete experience
Standardized load-in documentation reduces setup time by 20-30% at repeat venue types and eliminates the institutional knowledge risk when crew members rotate
Competition lighting requires verification against documented lux standards at each venue, not just visual assessment — judging fairness depends on measurable consistency
