Flaming, I'm not sure if you realized - but you were sitting behind me at CEA Showcase for a good two hours.
 
My daughter and I are becoming quite immune to the attacks that have come from some of the coaches and parents at Crimson Heat. It has been over a year and they still won't leave us alone. The false rumors seem to be a daily thing for the past year! I have many witnesses to this fact. I don't think a gym would be this bitter about an athlete they supposedly released! I just hope people on this board learn something about that program from meanj's post. This is the type of thing that goes on behind closed doors in some of these gyms. Therefore, the fact that someone would come and post their rumors as fact is sad!! Aren't they suppose to be a CHRISTIAN organization?

I agree. I don't understand when grown folks have such an interest in what minors are doing anyway. There are so many names for people like that. I thought I was crazy for making the time be able to come on Fierce Board to congratulate athletes, view all the cheer news and cheer gossip, but to find time to negatively and falsely sought out a minor is below the belt and rather extreme. It exemplifies a person with only time on HIS hands to be that tedious in details. False details at that!
 
Well Mr. Yeager as well as the Crimson Heat staff I was sitting behind; "the devil is still a liar". There is no reason for defamatory remarks about someone's child. You can be a HEAT fan and defend the organization, but to defame a child was cruel, unnecessary and your accusations are totally false. Whomever you are "friends" with or "associate" yourself with at CRIMSON HEAT obviously has a lot of hatred and envy for this family that sent an email with an explanation as to why they weren't returning to avoid this type of confusion. By the way, everyone is still waiting on the FB postings about Twisters and CEA. I guess I was gonna quit my FED job and move to North Carolina, too!! Ridiculous!!
 
Sometimes I LOVE being "out of the loop" so to speak. I totally missed any drama at this comp. Other than the competition itself. My husband, daughters and I talked to other parents and cheerleaders from several of the other Maryland teams and these was no sign of tension or nastiness.
 
Everyone from the Maryland area in the Cheer world knows that HEAT will make out well at MD States for whatever reason. I am a fan of HEAT, Twisters, and Marlons. I don't agree with the analogy because the scoring was awful. I don't take anything away from any team because all of these athletes work really hard and does well. But did you actually see the scores? Let alone the score sheets. It is no way possible HEAT level 5 was that close in score behind F5. NOT BY FAR. HEAT did not even get all the deductions they should have gotten. If you pay attention to past competitions at MD State and if you could get access to score sheets overall, you would notice that scoring is just not right, and I will leave it as that, because this was only a state competition. If this were a National competition with the same routines performed exactly how they were, scoring would have been extremely different. Not placement for small senior 5 because Twisters small senior 5 caused their selves their placement but definitely scoring. All you have to do is watch the tapes. Nationals pay close attention to alternative ways to hit skills (fake switch-ups, full-ups, tick-tock etc...) which level 5 Worlds teams should not be doing. The overall program award should be based off of more than scores.

I saw the scores and the scoring was incorrect way off !!!!! If you go back and look at the sheet the Judges didn't do their job which is read the score sheets make sure you have the correct sheets when scoring teams. I saw teams that where scored as large when they where medium MAJOR problem for that team because they will not be able to max out their score nor the score sheet because someone failed to read !!!!!!! so with that said Heat still would have not won program champs because the scoring was completely incorrect because of the failure of the judges and or the company not catching their mistake.

Sorry I tried to post this some where else LOL
 
why does maryland have such cheer drama? is it like that in other states too????

Off topic. You wouldn't want to get locked from posting on this thread (Trust it happens, twice yesterday to be precise)
But, if you look at a map of the state of Maryland - evaluate proximity of the facilities compared to other states, one of the biggest problems.
 
ooops, your right. it's off topic of the orginal title of the thread but not off topic. i will let it go, i hate being in the principal's office...
 
Trying to get this thread back on topic and just a little JAM score calculations reminder...

Your final score at JAM is a percentage of the MAX score.
The max score a Level 1 team can get is 184.5
The max score a Level 5 team can get is 240

If your Level 1 team maxed out the score sheet and had GREAT execution (as I have seen some very good Level 1 teams) you could score a 175. You take 175 and divide by the max score to get a 94.85%.

If a level 5 teams comes out and scores 225 out of 240, they only score a 93.75%.

So now...that Level 1 team has beaten the Level 5 team.

Any team could have been in the running for program champ. It's all about how each level hits their respective score sheet. If you are maxing out your level AND performing it with great execution, then you have a good chance at winning events as well as have a running for top program or even Grand Champs. Remember, difficulty is only worth about 50%, you still need to score the other 50% in execution to truly max out. How quickly we forget that...

I judged a competition 2 weeks ago, on the JAM Score System, and the highest percentage of the day was a Junior Level 1 team. Beating out all other Levels including a Level 5 team.

The JAM Score system percentage is the fairest way to evaluate across levels, IF the judging throughout the day follows the quantities and JAM rubric...
