We wanted the division to be scored since the second team in 2002. Cheersport was the first EP to actually score the teams and NCA followed soon after. There are still some EP's (like JamFest) that don't score them, but we wish they would change.
I've gotten to know many special needs parents over the years of working with the division and the vast majority want the competition. They understand that their athlete won't always win. But there's nothing wrong with that.
Special needs athletes (and their parents) need to learn how to win and lose with grace just like any other athlete.
