All Newbies - PLEASE READ!

[CheerMommaDukes]

I do have a question, how can we find out if a competition is a two day or one day event?? Rather, all level 1 & 2's compete on a Saturday and all the Level 3, 4 and 5's compete on Sunday verus a 50/50 score? Any suggestions would be graciously appreciated.

 

[Coach Mac]

First off, we are thrilled you have chosen to be part of the largest cheerleading board in the world!

This board is great! You can learn alot about cheer (high school, allstar, college, etc), what is going on behind the scenes, find a choreographer, make friends, etc.

We are however VERY protective of our board. On more than one occasion (alot actually), we have had people (either new or old) come on here with the sole purpose of creating drama. We eventually find out who you are and the result is usually a permanent ban on the board.

Please keep in mind this board has a WIDE age range. Keep your posts appropriate and consider the person you may be responding too is a minor. We do have an over 18 section, however that DOES NOT give you carte blanche to be rude and insulting.

And as for rude and insulting, do not make your posts personal. Remember these are young athletes on these teams. Treat others how you yourself would like to be treated, as well as your mother, sister, brother, etc.

Before you can post anywhere in the Cheerleading specific forums you must make 3 posts in here and have been registered for 72 hours (counting from the moment you registered). There will probably be someone willing to come along and answer any question you have, so take advantage of this 3 question requirement here in newbies. Other forums are not as forgiving to newbie questions, so try and ask in here while observing the other forums.

Here are the Top Ten rules for Newbies on Fierce Board:
(Written by our very own, Sharkdad)

1. If you're new, ask newbie questions in the newbie forum first.
You will get friendlier answers in here than the main board.

2. Before you ask a question or post your opinion, see if someone else already has.
Make sure to read the entire thread and use the search bar at the top of the boards. If in doubt, PM someone and they should be happy to help.

3. Ask the right questions in the right sections
Try and keep the music questions in the music section, the allstar questions in the allstar section... etc...

4. Keep posts on topic with the subject.
Don’t go into a post about a competition and ask “how do I improve my BHS?” If it succeeds in derailing the conversation going on it’s called “hijacking” a thread.

5. Have a purpose for your post!
All posts (negative and positive) are welcome, but only if they have a reason behind them. Saying a program/team/routine sucks JUST because is not a reason, and your opinion will instantly be discredited around here

6. Don't make statements about how other people/teams/gyms are thinking or feeling. Think: the only person's opinion I should express is my own.

7. Stick to facts. Try looking it up yourself or at least ask respectfully.
You will learn a lot this way. You should never post anything like “Team X at Gym Y is going to wear polka dot socks next week” if you only read it on Facebook or through someone else’s conversation. It is entirely different to say “I think I heard that. . . .” or finish your statement with “in my opinion, but I don’t know for sure”
 
8. Keep personal accusations, questions, other stuff not relevant to more than one person private.
That's what Private Messages (PMs) are for.

9. Apologize when you get something wrong.
We’re all giving opinions here. Have respect for others and admit if you are wrong.

10. Above all, when in doubt, have respect for others and their opinions.
This will help you decide how to word your posts, and probably how to “agree to disagree” if need be.


Again, WELCOME...to the FIERCEST board ever!

Happy posting!

So here is my first post as required

I do have a quick question? I was trying to post in a area that I thought was under newbies it was about flyer size and it wouldn't let me. Is this area closed to me or just closed in general? I apologize if I am missing something. If I am unable to post in that area where would be a good place to ask a question about flying? My daughter is wanting to fly and I had some questions.

The entire newbie area should be available to anyone.

Generally that info will be posted on the competition website. It's usually listed under general info but is sometimes listed under parent info or spectator info.

Come visit under the Parent section when your 72 hours is up.

I am a Coach at Fierce Allstars in Franklin, IN. On Monday, January 6th,2014 our gym caught on fire and burnt to the ground. We are
Completely heartbroken, as we have lost everything. Our athletes do have shoes, but we are still in search of a new space, floor and everything else needed. A crowd tilt is where you can go to local business and give monetary donations, but we will also have a website I believe. Please share our story and help us get back on our feet! God bless and thank you all. The picture below is what is left of our gym

Thanks ACEDAD! We've done the comp before just can't remember what we did last year. I know they have to wait until the week prior to post so they know who will be there but it would be nice to know if we just needed to be there on one day rather than 2 days. (Save those $$$!!!)

Which comp is it? Somewhere on the website there should be a general or block schedule (probably under parent or spectator info like Acedad suggested) and then a week before is when order of performances are usually posted

Beast of the East Atlantic City NJ - not posted yet. Just didn't know if anyone could recall the schedule from prior years. I think it is by level's Saturday would be school/rec and Level 1 & 2 All Star and Sunday would be the Level 3 4 & 5's I think what they did last year was you performed your stunting on one stage and it was judged then you went to the main stage and did the route for the judges. Combined total score.

Preliminary schedule for Saturday is out and on their website it says allstar teams compete both days. 1s &2s in one hall, 3-5 in the other. Home Page

It is a 2 day competition. All teams compete both Saturday and Sunday. I am not sure what the breakdown is for the score percentage by day though.
