as the 2013 Cheerleading world championship approaches... Coaches are preparing their teams to put on there BEST performance ever! as a company executive and judge i have sat and watch numerous teams that are very talented get scored poorly because of the bid in which they receive to get to worlds! i feel that its my responsibility as a business exec and judge... that we fix the problems in cheerleading to make this sport a even playing field for every athlete.

Example: last year at 2012 world championship.. there were many teams that went on and
"AT-large" bid...and had great talent, skill and HIT! their routine flawlessly. but only to find out there scores did not reflect there performance. as team with a FULL PAID. meaning.. on the panel there were teams that competed with tons of mistakes, but yet still would out score a team who, went on and at large bid!!!

i feel that "USASF" should come on with a solution that does not separated, the scoring of at-large and full paid team.
EXAMPLE: as a a judge i feel that.. a full paid team should have to competed early on in the competition so that the scoring stays consisted. if you take the team to look at the divisions from last year, he scoring from at at-large to full paid team was increased by 20 to 30 points! and during normal competition the GAP is never, that huge! i.e... NCA OR UCA..
 
:cow:

And FYI- it can't be that huge of a gap at UCA or NCA. They're on a completely different scoresheet.

NCA OR UCA.. I have never seen that big of gap.. and those are the two most respected competitions!

lastly, i understand that its a honor to go on a full paid BID.. but ask yourself if these team went early in the competition and team with at-large went later.. how would the scoring range? i feel as if a FULL PAID team is that GREAT! then they should be able to Hit there routine at ANY point of the day. but more important judges should be able to score consistently .. to prevent any judging errors. "these are just thoughts coming from a previous judge" and wanted to know how the industry feels about taking action on this issue"
 
And has something changed? Last I recall the at large teams in a couple of popular divisions pre-compete and top 10 earn their way into semi-finals with the paids and partial paids. The teams advancing are then seeded alternating with the paid bid teams.

And if we are putting in performance time requests... I request that all teams from the West Coast don't get early morning slots ;)
 
maybe you could ask BlueCat how his teams medaled on At-Large bids.

and i second NEliteSteven 's cow.
Three things:

1. That post doesn't just seem very "Worlds judge-y" to me.
2. We have won Worlds multiple times with at larges - even in divisions against paid bid teams.
3. I've been critical of some elements of Worlds in the past, but judge quality is not an issue. They know what they are doing.
 
Or periods, or commas, or quotation marks. I can't even read this.
