Posted this in another thread: doubtful you'll see one. If the performance was as bad as described, some people who videoed might be holding it back out of respect. It's not something you want circulating the net the week before NCA.
It was not great by any means but it had value.
It was the first time my CPs ever saw them (they love cheer but their focus is on their team, level, competitors and then their "Big Cheer Sisters" and all the older teams at our own gym that they see day in and out and look up to) so we happened to have time walked in and sat down when they came up told my CPs as it started how great this team is my 2nd grader after said "wow mom guess even great teams can have a bad performance". Good answer my sweetheart. They are just like any other team there will be those moments when it all goes to hell in a hand basket and in some ways it was even better that my kids saw that. We had a great weekend. My one CP got a first place and is proudly wearing a jacket. My other CP team did not fair as well but as a team and working together accomplished so much more - and really that is what it is all about. We had a great weekend!
Hoping my kids will see them in their glory as we head to Dallas as well this weekend.
 
This situation makes me just want to take a megaphone and stand up in front of the cheer world and remind them that no matter how much you complain, you can't change the results of the competition the day after. So move on and focus on the rest of your season. Stop dwelling on one thing.
So very true, but the subjectivity of the scoring system, simple math errors, missed deductions, inflated difficulty scores where the difficulty doesn't exist etc will always leave room for debate the next day. It is what it is and after watching for 15 years it hasn't changed much.

As for twitter...it has just about ruined human decency as almost everyone at times tweets comments that they would not be said in a face to face environment. I doubt that any team is exempt from this occurrence and for adults to label an entire team or program based on the comments of a small minority is somewhat immature in itself.
 
CEA day 2....side view



Ok just watched the video...THIS IS A JOKE RIGHT? UNBELIEVABLE! They will not look like this in Dallas! All jitters worked out, they will come to Dallas w/fire....I'm F5ordie, but folks don't sleep, lol....this looked like a set up...DID I SAY UNBELIEVABLE!!! :jawdrop:
 
...Is it just me, or can you really not see much from that video? I got a peek at the 1 bust, one of the far stunts had a bit of trouble, and over on this side closest to the camera I see the one fall, but besides those few it's really hard to see much of anything.

I saw about 3-4 stunt falls....at least 2 in the 1st stunt series and than at least another 1 in the second. I also saw about 2-3 hands go down on tumbling and one on her butt.

Oh well, guess you won't be able to see it now...DISABLED, LOL
