This drives me crazy. I can appreciate Judge's Choice if say youth 1 small has 40+ teams already with bids and Senior 4 large has only 2 teams with bids. I also think scores should be made public. It's odd there's so much secrecy with scores. Yet some events have no problem with posting the scores. I've also heard the gym owner discuss other teams scores when anticipating bids so they're already giving gyms the scores why not make them available for all.Personally "Judges Choice" is shady, and with an industry that makes millions of dollars off the backs of us parents, the process should be more transparent. I am seriously questioning the ethics in some of the process. Scores should always be posted for everyone to see after day one and then after awards the following day. This monopoly called All-Star Cheer lacks transparency. What's the big secret it's a competitive sport that uses a score! Why are only level 5 scores talked so much about? It's subjective enough, but when it comes to Bids if the Grand Champs of that level already have a bid, then the next highest scoring team in that level should get it. Of course, I have no idea what the next highest score was for that division; but I heard the bid went to a team that scored lower than us in that same division, different sub-group. BTW the team that got the bid was originally in the same sub-group but got moved last minute. Are the kids crushed, yup they are! They feel they earned that bid because they scored higher, wouldn't you? #shady #cgnd #lastyearinallstar
