Funny! That was my athlete’s biggest complaint. She said that the sound on the mat was horrible. They could barely hear the music both nights.
I think that the speakers were angled for the fans and not the athletes.
I have always enjoyed BAB, so I was hoping that we wouldn’t see a lot of graphing pains as they grew to a two day for all event. We didn’t get caught in the ticket chaos but instead cp competed after 9 pm both nights and awards were at 10:30. I fully understand that someone has to be in the late group, BUT I feel tHat the event could have done better at breaking down times in the block schedule ahead of time. Telling us that she could compete from 7am- 1O pm is bogus. They could have respected us by breaking that down to a smaller time frame, allowing us to book sat- mon instead of fri- sun , and also to figure out missed school days easier. This was local-ish for most families, but that changes when you aren’t even leaving awards until 11. I know some of our parents would have driven home last weekend on Sunday, if they knew ahead of time that this Sunday was going to be super late.
I thought the jackets looked pretty, even though I only saw them from afar lol.

I'm seeing very vague block schedules more often this season. And the late nights that affect school are an issue for me. Both of these are issues that concern me and will turn the casual cheer family away from the sport.
