It's interesting that we all thought it was going to be more insane than last year - even Sunday didn't live up to my expectations - crowd wise. It'll be interesting to see if they return to the fri/sat/sun schedule to gain more spectators. This years worlds has me pondering so many different things. Maybe it's me - but it just felt off.
Thanks for the correction, I didn't find them in my search and was surprised, I thought I'd seen them globe previous years. I searched on Cheersport (one word) and previous years they were in the wiki as Cheer Sport (two words), LOL! Don't know which is correct?
I usually agree with you, but on this I can see the USASF's reasoning. It seemed to be a trend in previous years that a whole slew of people would rush the floor after almost every team's performance. I can imagine it held up the schedule a bit when people were football tackling athletes and rolling around for hours upon hours. The rule was put in place months ago, so it should have been known, and it was probably in the coaches packet as well (although I haven't seen that packet). Everyone else seemed able to control themselves and wait to celebrate.
Agree, this was not the way to handle it. Rule should be changed, fine the gym, put the offender in cheer jail but don't penalize a bunch of kids who did nothing wrong and everything right
I wasn't there this year, but have been for the last 4 years. I don't ever remember sitting in the audience and thinking this team is taking too long to get off stage (and slowing down the competition). Not saying it has never happened but... not sure it was a real problem. I have sat there and thought, wow they are leaving that team standing, waiting to take the floor a long time, or wow I wish this announcer would stop going on and on... (Just my view as a spectator)
Wait...there is still a US Finals?!!
Yes, very much so. Alive and seems to be doing well. I haven't been in a few years though.
