I am so sorry that happened. Do all the coaches have access to the rosters so she could see she was not on it or just took a shot in the dark. Like I said will be going to Dallas this weekend and cheering you all on for the paid bid! Go for it - and carry that energy all the way to WORLDS!!!

Day 2 scoring was confusing across the board.
How is the young lady from Cells? I've been thinking of her.

I don't think our situation is like what happened to PCM. The girl was of age to be on the team. It was just an honest mistake that she wasn't on our roster. I feel like if you have a kid that is not of age on your team you are trying to hide that and you know it's against the rules. We weren't trying to hide that this girl was on our team (you can clearly see if you look at her twitter it was all over that she was on the team) it's not like we took someone who is a superstar to up our chances to get a bid.

Well, to clarify, the PCM thing was an honest mistake. The coach didn't check the birthdays - it wasn't a deliberate cheating mechanism.
But, good luck to Wildcats!! I'm sure they'll get another bid!

She had less tumbling than the girl that she was filling in for actually. We needed a fill in last minute and it worked out that this girl came to our gym. She was the only one that had close to the same tumbling as the injured girl. If we didn't use her we would have had to use someone else with alot less skill from our gym.

I feel like alot of teams have had people on their team that are not on their roster. How many times have you seen people have injuries the first day of a competition and have to use a fill in for the second day. I'm sure the fill in probably in most cases wasn't on the roster. It was an honest mistake that we know was against the rules. We were all more upset with how it was brought up. It was done maliciously to hurt our gym.

Well move on from this. We're all praying we can get the bid in Dallas. We know its going to be hard but were not giving up hope. If not well figure something else out. We will go to worlds.

p.o.k. said:

No one tried to hide the age of the athlete. Her legitimate birth certificate was used. The coach misunderstood the age rules for international teams. It is like you are implying the birth certificate was forged. I believe the coach explained this on this forum that weekend.

Oops should have read farther down - Andrew explained it.

There were several members of Lady Elite walking around with championship jackets prior to medium awards and other team names were noticed on some of the bags.

Anyway, Baffled at the Capitol fits this event perfectly!! Is there a shortage of judges this year?? The scores of so many teams did not make sense. Some teams that performed worst on Sunday had higher scores than Saturday!!!

ACEDAD....does any USASF member have access to the roster or just the event staff?
