*Single based, unassisted Stunt – any stunt whereas the top person is being held by a single base during a portion of the stunt sequence. The stunt must be held for an amount of time that proves the stunt group’s ability to maintain the skill without the assistance of additional bases and spotters.
I have spent some time going over the new system and for the most part agree with the changes. My only real problem is they have changed the definition of unassisted. By using this definition, a single based thigh stand will qualify teams to be judged in the high range. Team A could do single based thigh stands and a three elite stunt group stunt and Team B does toss heel stretch and the same three elite stunt group stunt and these teams will both be in the high range on the score sheet.
I appreciate that Varsity is trying to make coed teams do coed stunts, but I think the bar was set way to low, and there is no incentive to do elite coed stunts.
