---------TRIVIA

1. The Zigzag Pyramid is Salinggawi Dance Troupe's trademark pyramid. It was introduced in 1995.

2. The Salinggawi Dance Troupe was first to use canned music for their dance routine in 2000. They also first introduced special effects (sound compliments) in 2002.

3. Since 2003, Salinggawi Dance Troupe started their music with a catching word or phrases: "Attencion" (2003); "Attention, attention... " (2005); "Are you ready to...?" (2006).

4. UST has annual cheerdance campaign: "The Real Champions are Back" (2002) for their bid to regain the title; "Back 2 Back" (2003); "Balik sa Naka-GAWI-an: Three-Peat for UST" (2004); "Roar 4 More" (2005) for their bid to get fourth straight title; and "Jive for Five" (2006) for their bid to get fifth consecutive win.

5. The Salinggawi Dance Troupe incorporated a "3-Man Propeller Toss" in their 2004 Cheerdance routine to represent their bid to get third straight title; the "4-Man Shuffle-Toss" in 2005 for their bid to get fourth straight title; and the "Superman Walk" in 2006 to bid for their fifth consecutive win.

6. John Lapus, a UST Alum, coined "This Sixth It" for the 2007 cheerdance campaign. Rumors has it that UST's campaign for the 2007 cheerdance competition is either "Kick for Six" or "This Sixth It".

7. In the early years of the competition, UP used to send the UP Filipiniana Dance Troupe as their representative until the UP Pep Squad was formed in the late 90's. As of 2006, the Salinggawi Dance Troupe is the only dance troupe in the competition (the rest are all cheerleading squads).

8. The UP Pep Squad won the competition in 1999 for the first time by incorporating folk dances and the Oblation, UP’s symbol of freedom into their routine.

9. UP Pep Squad was the first to wear pants (for both boys and girls) for their uniform.

10. The UP Pep Squad incorporated into their cheers for the ensuing edition their campaigns for a title: Go for FOUR (2002) for their bid for a four-peat and UP's back! (2003) for their bid to regain the title.

11. The year 2005 saw a three-peat lineup, with UST, UP and FEU copping first, second, and third places, respectively.

12. From 1998 to 2005, all teams were required to perform a special Nestle Non-Stop Cheer. This cheer was included in the criteria for judging and comprised 20% of their scores.

13. The panel of judges is composed of representatives from each participating university and representatives (usually three) from the major sponsor.

14. A judge is not to give a score for the school he represents. The highest and lowest scores garnered by each team is omitted and the remaining scores is averaged.

15. The criteria usually include choreography, synchronization, costume, and over-all impact.

16. The rules usually require teams to perform pyramids (one should be a 3-level), tosses, jumps and lifts.
