Now make the Varsity score sheet the universal standard (HT King) and we're cooking.

At least now there will be a Universal place to direct concerns.

^^^ Edit - Not just concerns but a Universal place for training, information etc. etc. etc. FINALLY!

It sounds good at first read, but after reading this announcement a couple of times, does it really say anything? IDK, it sounds like PR fluff but I'm pretty jaded today.

I know in the past our local UCA regional comp has pulled in random college cheerleaders that have all-star experience or UCA instructors... hopefully this will decrease that and get some consistency with judging! I think this is a great step forwards!

As soon as I saw the announcement, I thought of you! Hopefully it's a good thing. Just afraid it's one step away from a universal scoresheet.

Next week Jammy will announce its judges association and then we are back to square one.

That's not really true. As long as you know the Jambrands events you attend have highly trained and qualified judges, that's a great thing! I am definitely FOR a universal scoresheet, but until we can make that happen, each major company have a "judges association" of their own is a great thing, IMO.

It's a step. It recognizes that quality and consistency in judging is something that is necessary for all-star cheer to evolve. My hope is that the training is much like the training higher-level soccer referees get in that it's intensive, detailed and involves continuing education and communication. And that with this training comes a process of evaluating judging performance - i.e., it's more than just taking the class, it's being to apply the lessons of the class in real-time in high-pressure situations. (and get it right far more often than not)

I have been asking for this for 3 years! I was told I was crazy and it would never work. I admitted it wouldn't be easy but I don't see how it can be a negative. If Varsity and Jam have separate judges associations so be it, at least there is a common ground for the scoring. I don't see the two joining forces UNLESS Usasf requires a universal score sheet for qualification to their Worlds. Again, I've been told I'm crazy but a small step is better than no step.
