Hi there, I own the Power Cheer Toronto Cobras in Toronto. I don't know the criteria for selection but I do know that we were sent a rather exhaustive questionnaire this summer which we filled out. I'm not sure if we'd been chosen prior to the questionnaire by some panel or if we were chosen because of it, either way we are thrilled to be part of this list.

Is the name of your town where "Mississippi" comes from by the way? Congrats on your gym.
 
have to agree about the Mass. gym. not being disrespectful, but cheer central stormz? i have never seen them at any big comps - & not even sure if they have a level 5 team.
there are so many really great gyms in Mass.
 
i dont think yall should be calling out these gyms and saying they shouldnt be on the list, its rude. they didnt choose to be on it. if you have a problem, email them. A LOT of people read these threads and it would be a huge downer if one of these gyms read some of the things yall are saying. JMO
 
I've traded a couple of emails with Marissa Walker, the editor of AC. She's told me the background on the list and why some states aren't represented. However, in my last email I asked her if I could make her response public and I haven't yet gotten approval. When I do, I'll post it.
 
With these kinds of lists someone is always going to be unhappy. It's a subjective sport. You can't base this off of any one event. If everyone went to NCA you could go by NCA titles (or any competition for that matter) but not everyone does. You're entitled to your own opinion but just saying WOW how did THAT team make it, really isn't fair & I'm sure you wouldn't want someone saying that about your own gym. You can ask/wonder about how the list was voted on but there are ways of going about that without insulting another gym.

Would love to hear an answer. I am sure there is a logical reason. But from the outside looking in why wouldn't you name a gym (even if there is only one gym in the state) the #1 gym in the state?
 
The name of our town is Mississauga. It's a derivative of an Ojibwa (native tribe) term meaning "river of the north". Given that Mississippi is also a river I"m guessing that there is a common origin. Thanks for your congratulations - we are very proud to be recognized. Have a great season!

Yep, looked it up last night. Learn something everyday.
 
Im kinda surprised that desert storm got it for Arizona . Espcially since APX has been on the sucessful. Desert storm has been pretty MIA for a few years just my opinion.
