All-Star Battle At The Capitol 2013 Updates

I'm pretty sure during jumps to back, LE had a basket toss which certainly is more than 2 fakers...unless of course they did jumps to back while the flyer was hitting the basket.
I wrote it for WG, and didn't for LE- of those participating (in that sections). Minus the actual numbers, some of what was written was general observations while watching the routines, so if I wrote it on one I didn't always write it on another. I don't have straightforward trains of thought (the blessings of being ADD) :)
 
2 falls and an omission - I get why they're in second. Just never expected them to be so far behind.

And I'm perturbed by Reign's placement too.
I completely agree about Reign as well but not so much their score but CE's score seems quite a bit inflated based on the difficulty of that routine. Guess we'll see how tomorrow play out but some of these score just seem way off.

i thought F5 wasnt competing at the battle why would they be there practicing
 
I'd have to disagree, if only because the definition of the word includes accomplish, and they didn't. :D

I think LE is very much out-choreographed, at least in their opening. It's the type of setup where you need to be perfectly on the ball, and they aren't. While in general I'd say LE edges WG out only by a small margin, I do think WG really only beat themselves on this one.
I think you also forgot in LE's routine where the flyer practically knocks her head on the floor in a basket.
 
I'd say stunt execution was better with WG. They both max with entries, transitions and dismounts. WG gets full credit for quantity stunts, LE doesn't. WG has a higher number throwing level skills in tumbling, but I'm guessing (I didn't count) that LE gets enough in. Neither should have an astronomically high technique score in tumbling. Jumps are a wash. Pyramid are both getting the job done in different ways, though I'd say WG might edge them slighly on technique.

Without deductions, on the Jammy scoresheet, I put WG ahead, but the scores shouldn't be that far apart. I don't know how many deductions they had besides the 2 stunt falls.
I'd disagree on stunt execution..I'd say it's probably a wash. The 1 1/2 ups were a little wobbly for WG (hitting at the top took a bit of effort, although they straightened out for the heel stretch), and LE's 1/2 switch ups (at least the front one) weren't all super solid. I'd give LE an edge on running tumbling technique ONLY, but my eyes are too blurry to even GUESS at standing so I'd give WG that one just because I can't visually see otherwise. I'd agree on jumps (although LE at least was clean on the pike, of all things). I tend to avoid pyramids because unless something is glaringly missing or SUPER slow, in most cases they're basically even.

This is new for me..I tend not to go this in detail. It's great fun :D
