Am I the only one bothered by teams with audiences that shout 1-3-5-7 for all of pyramid? This could be an unpopular opinion but I've seen it for several worlds teams for the last few weeks and I just don't understand the need for all that

I think it's just a way the crowds show their support and excitement for teams. No harm I suppose.

ill agree, i know it was a thing for CA to count out the pyramid, especially for panthers. But now everyone does it. I dont like the trend, i think the athletes on the floor are perfectly capable of counting their own routine if they need to.

I don't think it really helps the teams all that much - assuming the music hasn't stopped. I do view it as a kind of crowd support kind of thing.

Odd tradition perhaps, but this is "cheerleading" after all. Of all sports for the crowd to yell in unison, this should probably be at the top of the list.

I'll say this, it's better than when people clap during the dance...but progressively clap faster and are completely off beat!

I actually love it
We do it sometimes if we had been having trouble with the pyramid in the past it helps. It's just another version of "mat talk" a way to support your teammates and help push each other. I know that my team personally does ten times better when we perform with mat talk in pyramid and throughout the rest of the routine

Yes I cheered allstar level 3-5 for 11 years. Mat talk is what pushes everyone through! I'm more so talking about the audience though. In all my years we had an audience count out maybe 3-4 times and it was always after a brand new pyramid, music changes, or a not so good day 1. I understand everyone's perspectives on it though! Especially this year when there isn't even well-known music to sing along to, and voiceovers harder to remember, since a lot of cheer music is now composed of a ton of them
