It appears that Varsity is really stretching to regain their share of voice in the cheer social media world. How does this exactly qualify as a 'HUGE announcement?' Revolution, Champions League, And Majors have cut into their space and they are just coming up with anything they can to curb...

This is BS. There is just too much in here that should be insulting to anyone who reads this 'explanation'. Just tell the truth and explain why it is being motivated by financial gain. So tired of these guys trying to pull the wool over the paying customers' eyes. Also their 'better prices...

The more I think of this idea, the more I like it. There are many concerns that have been raised, but with a little bit of thought I definitely think they can be worked through. I agree that the D2 needs to be at a different location than the D1 competition. I'm not saying it can't be held...

May be just semantics, but when I say 'split' I'm thinking possible break-up/separation/divorce. To use another college football similarity, I would probably bet my house in saying that the top 30 football schools will not be governed by the NCAA in 10 years. They don't need them.

I can understand this argument, and in a perfect world it would be true. But, I think that the J5, SRR5 kids are definitely important to this conversation. If a few 14-16 year-olds have L5 skills but don't make the only Worlds Team in that small gym, I would say there's a pretty good chance...

Funny that you mention this. In European soccer, it is called the 'UEFA Champions League." Where have we heard about 'Champions League' lately? Seems to me that this 'split' may already be in progress. D1 will be in Philly in April.

It was my first time at this event, and although I didn't get there until 5:30 (missing all of the L1-3 divisions), I will give credit where credit is due. This was a very well-run and organized event. It was very close to running on-time, excitement level was high, aesthetic appeal of stage...

??? Who said anything about being cranky?

I understand what you are asking, and I wish I could provide more insight. Not sure if there is a parent from one of the 'satellite' gyms reading this, but would love to hear their perspective. i can say that of the CEA satellite locations, all but three are within an hour or so of either...

You just said what I was trying to say, just in a lot fewer words!

Just quoting this one since it's not really about cats. Point of view from a CEA parent: Just different philosophies and goals for different gyms. Most (and there are some who don't) parents and kids at CEA understand the bigger prize. Winning a local or regional competition in...

See, a big part of the priority seating at this competition was that there really wasn't any 'defined' as such. It was the poor Greensboro Coliseum workers trying to police the area that didn't have any signage or in/out traffic flow. Just really poorly planned by UCA, and quite frankly, a...

She's referring to the Cheersport comp in Raleigh on Sunday. I mentioned in my original post that I was curious to hear any reviews on that competition. Funny, my parking was $6.

Maybe it's just me, but when I see UCA on the schedule, I expect the actual production to be at least on par with other EPs' events. It wasn't even close to be honest.

This has nothing to do with the performances on the floor or the teams that were in attendance. Am I crazy to expect more than what UCA was able to produce at last weekend's competition in Greensboro, NC? If EPs can't come together to make some common sense out of their scheduling, and...

Also wanted to add that how mediocre this event is, or at least how it didn't really even come close to what we should be expecting from a company with as much stature as UCA. The set-up was such that the parents were required to sit in the seats at least 50 feet away from the floor-level...

Congrats to all of the teams that competed at UCA. I was very impressed with the Carolina Spirit teams that I saw. It was refreshing to see a program in the shadows of CEA step-up and put on a great performance. I took notice of this program at Battle Under the Big Top last year and was not...

Just ask them. Most of the time they don't have it. They will give you a contact number or email to use. Just tell them that it is important to you because you want to track you business expenses as you report everything to the IRS.;)

At the big competitions when I am dropping $100 or so for admission (cash only), I always ask them for a receipt and a tax ID number. The looks on their faces are pretty funny actually. I apologize now for the people in line behind me, it tends to take them a little while as they scramble to...

Wondering if the banners will read, "St_t_ _h_mpions?"
