Do y'all think USASF will follow these changes?
I'd say no.Do y'all think USASF will follow these changes?
yes. Not sure if you saw the tweet posted after the original tweet showing the new levels was deleted, but it tagged @USASF_ISAF and stated that explanations would be coming soon. Last year I recall USASF stating they were transitioning to ISAF - I'm pretty sure they took their website off line for a bit last year and there was just ISAF, but with so much back and forth from them I can't be positive of that. We all know the industry is gearing toward universal, international rules and competition because of the Olympic status. I'm guessing this will be the new normal for cheer.Do y'all think USASF will follow these changes?
I have no reason for my opinion other than past history, the push towards cheer being an Olympic sport and the fact that IASF and USASF have VERY close ties. It wouldn't make sense for the U.S. to continue to have separate divisions and rules if the rest of the world is all following the IASF divisions and rules.@luv2cheer92 and @quitthedrama you both have differing opinions on USASF doing this. I'd like to hear more from you as to why you feel they will or won't.
Unfortunately it’s not just a re numbering of levels like it seems to be being promoted as. Much of the detail is in the new rules grid that was sent with the division list. I have been somewhat surprised that there hasn’t been much if any comment about the rules that have been changed for levels 3,4 & new 5. Here’s a sampler:I'd say no.
I'm ok with changing the numbers, because that's really all that is doing. It's not like a new level was created, and it does make more sense to have some kind of consistency in level names. I'm not ok with R5 (or the new level 5) being at Worlds. Though (for now) that would just be under IASF. Which makes me really, really happy (and hoping it stays this way) that USASF created their own open divisions. And I'm thinking the rule changes that they hinted at will make me feel that way even more.
