All-Star #topoftheworlds - Usasf Has Big News On Monday??

[chyeeaaa69]

So clearly there is desire for change. Here's my question. What's being done? What can be done? It's cute to sit on Fierceboard and discuss these things, but what do we as an industry really have to do to see change, and why (at least from my standpoint) does it seem like nothing is being done?

Worlds already does it. If you compete at anything called a "World" or "International" championship, you aren't allowed to compete at USASF Worlds. I don't recall the athletes or coaches voting on that policy.

which is interesting... because UCA is "International Championships," but perfectly okay to attend but a non-varsity international will get you banned.

Well, you can compete at the ICU world championship (which is completely *cough cough* non-Varsity) and worlds, but you can't compete at the IFC world championship and worlds.

I know it would have played out differently had other teams been able to participate in our format as well as STUNT. It would have given athletes and athletic departments a choice to learn about both. But a for profit company partook in a ban at the inter collegiate level. Now as far as Worlds, who owns that?

Can someone tell me which competitions have the "stay to play" requirement? I know NCA and Spirit of Hope. Are there others? What about UCA?

NCA, Cheersport, Spirit of Hope, all the Allstar Challenge events. Among others, I'm sure.

Is Varsity the EP for Cheersport?

Other Memphis-based organizations don't count, I guess.

IIRC Varsity owns a stake in it, but not all of it. Cheersport is their own EP.

I thought it was 100% bought out by Varsity. I could be wrong, but if not then I'm not sure why the owner's gym is competing there.

so.... it's a great trailer. But why are there so many boys for an All-Girl Feature I'm still so perplexed

Varsity formally bought Cheersport 2 years ago.

There is ongoing disagreement as to the informal date.

I watched it and thought the same thing -from the trailer I wasn't even sure what "feature" they were trying for, it was all over the place.

It was all a ploy to for the USASF to get more followers on twitter....

i really question if the USASF knows what its doing anymore, if it cant even put together a proper video of all girl teams.

Feature looks great, but with all the boys and trophys it looks like more of a "World Champion" feature.
