SSX not winning gold.

Lady Lightning hit and SSX did not..both routines with similar difficulty

I'm aware. I didn't say they were robbed or anything. ICE should have won. I'm just saying I hope the trend of SSX coming close every year can end with them finally getting that elusive gold next season.

I understand your point but when the competition is still half an hour behind, the time argument isn't super valid. Especially when the divisions didn't alternate...a quick hug really wouldn't have held up the schedule. However like you said, I know my teams were just as happy celebrating off the floor while watching their playback video so I guess it doesn't matter!

I agree that the wording of the rule is extreme and that a quick hug isn't a big deal, but I think that they're just trying to make it as black & white as possible. Quick hugs and high fives aren't what made this rule necessary, teams that made a big production of their celebration are, and I'm willing to bet that any gray area would be quickly abused and argued by some teams.

It's just frustrating to read so many posts from people that are acting like the USASF is preventing people from celebrating anywhere, ever, at all, because they want to suck all the joy and happiness out of the world. They're just trying to tackle one more logistical issue so maybe someday Worlds will be able to run on time.

For realz. Im tired of them coming close every season and always falling short.

It's even worse that they are SO close every single season! I'll probably be just as happy as the team members are when they finally get that gold, haha

Aaah okay that makes much more sense!

Flexed feet in liberties or torches...you're a level 5 athlete, not a tiny 1. Point your darn foot.

People assuming that a team has bad sportsmanship just because they didn't automatically show up for photos because they wanted to support another team from their gym

All I know is there was plenty of time to "celebrate" between teams in Large senior this year.

Also, I said this last year & I'll say it again... But I ABSOLUTELY hate when crowds will yell like crazy for a big name team that has 3 sf, and busted tumbling. But barely cheer for a less known team that hits their routine with just as much difficulty. It upsets me a little that these other teams work just as hard to put a routine out on the mat, but not very many people care because they're not one of the big gyms

Bad sportsmanship both from the athletes, parents, and fans
Cheerlebrity "meet and greets"
Bows that "smell"
Established gyms being scored on last year's (or even older) reputation versus what they put on the floor today
Mesh on uniforms
Having too many At Large Bid teams at Worlds
Choreographed running tucks/layouts on level 5
A team leaving the stage ANYWAY but on their feet
Not being able to enjoy a great performance by hugging your teammates
Parents who think their children are level 5, when clearly Suzie is a level 3
Cheer moms (and dads) wearing cheer bows (that includes uniforms, warm ups, etc)
Teams that move between Level 5, Restricted 5, Level 1...

LOVE THIS!!!!!!!

If someone references a certain stunt from a certain team and claiming it to be theirs and their divine right to do it ONE MORE TIME.
Smoed nor senior elite were the first teams to actually do the stunts that they're constantly referenced for.

That shows me you've never seen a cheer video from before 2010...
Everything is repeated, recycled, and improved on. Skills aren't trademarked.

I know you didn't just say that dads were wearing cheer bows.... I get it in the context of a joke, but trying to live through your cheer daughter by wearing one is a little odd.

those straight dismounts to prone

YES. I loved it in 2012 when Orange did it, but it's overdone at this point.
