Havent seen them mentioned on the boards recently, but watched Heat Athletics this weekend and I can honestly say they are going to impress alot of people!
 
I don't know if I agree. I think NCA is a good indicator of the scoring/placements at Worlds. But absolutely I agree that technique/difficulty will not do it alone. Both are required at Worlds along with full team or close to full team skills.

I wasn't aware that my statement suggested any agreement was necessary lol sorry. As I stated before there is a possibility that the NCA champion may not be a shoo-in however they still have a very strong chance for sure. While in the past NCA has been a huge indicator I feel the difference today is due to the Worlds score sheet being quite different from the varsity brands sheet. There appears to be certain categories that are more heavily weighted and some of those that usually hold importance at NCA aren't as significant at Worlds. For example there are teams that are well rounded in all areas that are successful at NCA because it rewards for all categories, however if stunts or syncro tumbling (for example) are more heavily weighted then potentially a team that finds success in being well rounded might have a difficult time outscoring the team that is excellent in those (exp. stunts) areas even if they aren't well rounded as a whole. Does that make sense? I'd use specific examples however I do not wish to offend anyone or suggest that they don't have what it takes. I honestly think it's interesting that our entire season is built around a scoring rubric and trying build routines to be successful competitors yet when you get to Worlds all of that is thrown out the window. JMO :D

Whoa...Interesting that your entitled to your opinion but I'm not, lol. But may I respectively say that it doesn't surprise me?;)
 
i know we have some stingrays orange lovers, but i mean they have won ALOT! wouldnt it be great to see cea's small senior x to win? i feel that they're underestimated. or how bout weathergirls.. maryland twisters beating cheer extreme? haha. but dont get me wrong i love rays. but it would be nice to see someone else win. now, rays are amazing and i think teams come really close to them, but orange just has something special about them! i hope all the teams i just mentioned do well! anyone can win!!
 
It's really great to hear that someone was impressed with az power :) Last year was their "transition year" they had soo many new girls, and didn't think it was possible to make top ten with a routine without so much difficulty (obviously they didn't because of day two, but they could have). The team remains for the most part the same, only a couple new girls, so I'm super duper excited to see them this year! :) Sorry if this sounds like a brag post, I'm just so excited![/quote
