The real problem here is xtreme spirit as a whole. It really is no surprise why XS has lost some of the biggest names in the midwest such as UA and GBE. Also is no surprise why ICE never goes to xtreme spirit competitions. This weekend was seriously a WASTE of time and money. We also will NEVER be going back to an xtreme spirit competition. Regardless of other sports and money, this was very wrong. How are you as a competition owner going to pay a team in one way or another to come to your competition and then pay for them to go to worlds?! Like seriously?! what is wrong with you? Not only is this unfair because Top Gun was already pretty much guaranteed that bid, but it makes Xtreme Spirit look TERRIBLE. Oh and dont think that top gun stayed in just any hotel, they stayed in a luxurious house paid by xtreme spirit. Not to take credit away from Top Gun, but in my opinion Indiana Ultimate is the one that really deserved that paid bid. Top guns performance on day one would have not scored the way they did at any other competition! They were 9 POINTS AWAY FROM A PERFECT SCORE, WITH 5 DROPPED STUNTS. Not including their other mistakes. Indiana Ultimate had just as much difficulty if not more and they were far behind Top Gun. Oh and not to mention that the panel of judges arent even real judges, they had some 18 19 year olds with no knowledge of level 5 cheerleading. Xtreme Spirt should NOT be aloud to give out bids, after this weekend, numerous coaches are writing letters to USASF because this is seriously a sorry excuse of a world bid competition. Warm ups were messed up and not in order, and there was serioulsy like a half hour gap in between every teams performance. We had such a long wait from our warm up to the time that we actually had to perform that there really was no point of even "warming up". You could also tell that the owner of xtreme spirit kept going up to the judges table and seemed as if they were constantly arguing about something.. it really looked a little odd and to put the cherry on top XS treated top gun like GODS. When they performed they closed all their booths and all went up to the judges tables to record them...., they also had security scooting people back from the mat when they came on, they didnt do that for any other team. All that xtreme spirit accomplished this weekend is getting a WORSE reputation. I really hope USASF does something about this. I hope xtreme spirit realizes how much business they have lost. all just in the dream of having a team such as top gun represent you at worlds.
hahahha finally someone spoke up! and i thank you for that! i was about to do it myself when i got home! but this is entirely true. every single word in fact. and all those people saying how they cant see this really happening, well neither did we. until the day rolled by and we witnessed this, its pretty much unbelievable. but ive should of known something like this would happen from xtreme spirit, due to the fact they were pretty shady last year too..
