Everyone knows that there can only be one team from each state at a National Championship, right? Well, not in this movie! The Toros are from San Diego, California and the Clovers are from Los Angelas, California(i think). Well, in the end at the last Championship, there should only have been one team from California but both teams were there.
The reason that the Toros were at Nationals was because they had won the year before and would get to go even after losing at regionals. I'm not sure how cheerleading competions work usually, but that was the reasoning in the movie.
because the toro's had won previously they were already definitrly going even if they lost regionals, besides, the Clovers are from East Compton...NOT LA!!!
