Ha, well the season is almost over!Same crap, different competition
What happend? Were teams late or miss it since it started early?Overall, good competition (minus the division splits). Awards started over 30 minutes early for L1 Tiny and Mini though. Still confused how they thought that was a good idea.
Actually - Awards was a mess in general.
The awards schedule was changed from the original general schedule and emails weren't sent out, I believe there were just paper schedules where you could pick up score sheets. Not a huge deal but it changed some times around. There were definitely some mini teams that missed it (poor kids!). They got back on track with time at the next awards session.What happend?

Welp... thats a shame smh...The awards schedule was changed from the original general schedule and emails weren't sent out, I believe there were just paper schedules where you could pick up score sheets.

Prior to that at the L2 youth and L3 small senior there were so many people on the stage our kids were sitting on each other's laps. Insanity.
Just to be clear the divisions weren't "combined" but rather "not split" (yes there's a difference), the USASF does clarify small vs large in that they are not separate divisions. In this instance, Sr 4 is the division. It is then split into small and large if the numbers allow. The competition was correct in not splitting them, following USASF's guidelines. I won't comment on the rest of the post as I was not there and it didn't affect me. I had a few friends that coached teams at this comp and they had nothing but good things to say. I'm sorry you had a not so great experience.My understanding is that there was a lot of complaining by gym owners about not splitting divisions (small/large and 15+ in divisions). They were told that they would not split any more than small vs. large because USASF does not have guidance on how to do the A/B split. I am guessing they got a lot of grief after the D1 BATC for how they did the A/B splits. I agree with SteelCheer that the USASF defines small and large divisions for a reason, so why do they combine them. It would not have cost Coastal anything to take the large team out of the small division and give them their jacket and let the small teams compete against each other.
In the Sr 4 division there was 11 small teams and 1 large. A small team won because they were so much better than all of the other teams and they deserved to win. Congratulations Cheer Empire, you were amazing. The large team came in second place even though they had a stunt group fall to the floor on Day 1 and their pyramid had multple issues on Day 2. The third place team had a zero deduction routine on Day 1. On Day 2, the team was held up for an extended period of time because of a "computer glitch". When the coaches asked for 5 minutes to re-warm up Coastal denied the request. About 30 seconds into the routine an athlete landed her layout, grabbed her knee, and fell to the ground. She is now out for the rest of the season with an ACL injury.
The team regrouped, added an athlete from another team, changed some positions and came out and hit their routine. When the coach got the composite sheets it was noted that there was a .25 deduction for the touchdown of the injured athlete. The coach argued that she landed the skill and had multiple videos to prove it. Coastal would not view any of the videos and would not consider the dispute because it was after the 20 minute timeframe. The coach was attending to the injured athlete.
Coastal had an opportunity to make it right during the awards ceremony and failed again. Instead of giving the WOW Award to a team that showed grit, determination, and an enormous amount of heart, they gave it to the large Senior 4 team. A team that did not have clean routines either day of the comp. I am not sure what the WOW Award is for but, I cannot believe it is to recognize a team that was not clean.
