I am sorry - but this topic has bugged me all year long. I hate that Senior Open 5's are out scoring legitamate World's bound teams at competitions. I havent seen many (not saying they dont exist, just saying I havent seen many) Senior Open 5 teams that have 'WOW' stunting. For the most part Ive seen switch ups and full ups, and maybe some tick tock variations for the better Senior Open 5's. Also many only have kick doubles as opposed to hitch or switch kick doubles and as we all know, they are capped at doing fulls in tumbling.
Has anyone else experienced GRAND going to Senior Open teams over good 'Worlds bound' teams?
I wouldnt have a problem if scoresheets reflected a Senior Open division. But if I am at a competition and the scoresheet says to max out you need majority squad doubles... How can a Open 5 team even compare? Id assume they would score low in tumbling and could try to make up for it in stunts or cleanliness....
Anyone else agree or disagree?
