All-Star Definition Of "hitting"

[BubbleToes]

Just because your stunt stay in the air, or susie doesnt eat matt doesnt mean that you hit.

I TOTALLY agree with this. I hate when teams do actually "hit", then you see the stunts are hit, but weakly, bent legs, or no flexibility....or the tumbling "hits" but is sloppy w/no form.

Unless you were in the front row at cheersport you couldnt see if people busted unless they disappeared beneath the signs and jumping people.

will add that I think okay to say they 'hit' a certain part of a routine like say they hit their pyramid but but needs to be clarified that way, not they HIT, but... had some TD's. Does that make sense?

I say we hit our routine when one day we hadf 16 deductions and the next day only one, for a team being possitive and gaining confindence when something has always gone wrong, when you finally get the best score ever and only have 1 deduction thats hitting a routine. Maybe supporters and spectators should have that mind set too letting the judges determine if someone hit or not. Just saying. If saying my team hit their routine helps with moral, then so be it

Hit means you were rock solid. Not the slightest bobble, not a single wiggle, not even a girl stumbling when she walked to her spot. Absolute perfection.

I think the confusion between "hitting it" and "Killing it." hitting to me means the stunts hit their difficulty, - maybe a few bobbles- but still left a satisfying impression. also, no drops or touchdowns in tumbling. KILLING IT, means hitting flawlessly, the team sold their routine, and the crowd's response to this team was just a roar at the conclusion of it....

If this is true, then I have seen very, very few teams HIT a routine.

Interesting, I have seen several scoresheets in my day, but, never have I ever seen the words killed it.

It is actually on the CheerSport scoresheet. They have it in overall impression. If you do it well they tick off 'Killed it' and if you need improvement it has a box that says 'Still alive and kicking'

i think equating anything to perfection is unrealistic seeing how nothing will ever be "perfect". when i think of a team hitting a routine, i think that the team has nailed every section with good technique/timing with zero deductions. the "perfect" example of this for me would be top gun's 04-05 cheersport performance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClwO13kZmRo

My apologies, I see it now. It's right there next to the "fierce" category.

If you have compulsory scores you can't have a ceiling.

This is very true because I did not know my daughter crashed into another girl in her hand hand double until she came from back stage and told me. I just thought my goodness she just busted BAD!

To me, hitting is exactly what it sounds like: hitting every aspect of your routine. I do account for some minor balance-checks or lite bobbles (not the ones where it becomes a press-up to keep her in the air). Killing it, however, is SUCH an overused term. When I think of killing it, I think of CEA Worlds Day 1, or any other performance that, like someone said 'Brings the house down.' I should be hoarse from screaming with excitement after your routine and near tears..like a well-orchestrated musical.

If this is true, then I have seen very, very few teams HIT a routine.

Me too. That's my point.
