With this, I think it is a matter of preference, and also the situation/environment we are in. This past season, had to make some tough decisions, easily rendered through saying we heavily relied on those outside judges scores when it came to team placement, blah blah blah, and it was generally accepted, especially when you pulled previous years notes/attendance records/tumbling session progress & attendance records, etc.
I LOVE the idea of an evaluation and the coaches pick their teams, but I also know in some areas of the country, it is nice to have that extra layer.. yes it's antiquated.. no we don't like doing it, honestly, I would prefer to be like other sports, but there is still a stigma around cheer... so slowly breaking that helps.
So yes, everyone should agree to disagree, look at their own personal situation and what works best!
