All-Star 13-14 Varsity All Star Scoring System

ASCheerMan · Jun 5, 2013

Varsity All Star is proud to roll out the 2013-2014 Scoring System! After countless hours of research and discussion, we've made a series of upgrades and clarifications to our system that will continue to bring out the best in our athletes, coaches, and judges. A huge THANK YOU goes out to everyone who played a part in positioning Varsity All Star as one of the clear leaders in all star scoring!

With the goal of facilitating a smoother transition from event to event for many of our customers, Varsity All Star met with JAM Brands to identify areas of the scoring process where the potential existed to align certain areas. Both Varsity and JAM Brands will continue to produce distinct, successful scoring systems, but have found some common ground in several areas, including the following:

Point Deductions
Coed/Unassisted Stunt Requirement
Time Limit Violations
Boundary Violations
Additional Score Sheet similarities

Varsity All Star will be on-site at USASF Regional Meetings to present the updates! We look forward to seeing everyone soon!

Thanks,

Justin Carrier
Vice President

As a judge and Usasf safety judge I am excited about this. I am proud the two are working together. This is a huge step and thank you to all who helped make this possible!

I haven't looked through this yet, but I'd be interested to see if there's more convergence towards a common scoring rubric rather than nibbling around the edges with things like time limit and boundary violations.

Common rubric is a difficult feat when you have two systems that are architecturally build differently from the ground up

That said, we laid out both rubrics side by side to see where the similarities and differences were. I was surprised to see that we already shared a lot of common ground, even though it may not be technically identical.

Is this going to be the scoring system for Worlds as well?

Unfortunately I am going to say no.

I would also like it for College Nationals though while we are making requests. Having to change systems for one competition a year doesn't work well for Worlds and it doesn't work well for college either (lots of the same judges).

I found the basing category interesting. This should be the death of the front spot position. I like it.

There are a lot of similarities. I have always thought that NCA and Jamfest had a similar goal. From the way they run things to truly being about the athletes and the sport. This is not to say others don't as well. I have just always felt when it came to innovation and moving this sport forward, both of these set the standard.

I'll be honest. I'm not loving how "easy" it is to max out, while adding what seems to be more subjective areas.

Remember, on the Varsity system, we only tell you how to get into the HIGH range, but we don't tell you how to max out that score.
And we actually have fewer subjective categories than last year. But we applied descriptive paragraphs to help people understand what to look for.

I like the limited safety violation deduction for 2 day events. If you perform an illegal skill on Day 1 and are not penalized for it, then repeat it on Day 2, how would you have known to change it?

Obviously, this applies to skills that are borderline legality interpretations, not blatantly illegal....although blatancy should be caught on Day 1. You get the picture.

Also love the new basing category and rewarding teams that do not load up on front spots to hit level appropriate skills, also permits a proper place to reward single base stunts (on non-coed teams).

I do really like the basing requirement.

Once again Level 6 is the red-headed stepchild of the cheerleading world...

(...not that I have anything against red-heads or stepchildren)

But the combination of the two? DREADFUL

(I married a red-headed step child therefor I am allowed to make these jokes)
