That was my understanding as well that F5 had 2 under rotated doubles resulting in 3 pts during finals. I don't doubt that it is the type of deduction that wasn't across the board, consistency is certainly an issue. My only point is that is was indeed a valid deduction.
I was also not...
Reply if you look at the USASF deduction sheet http://usasf.net.ismmedia.com/ISM2//Worlds/2013/Docs/Worlds_2013_Cheer_Deductions-Explanation.pdf
You'll see that was new this year.
I don't know for sure either, all the tweets I saw indicated it was all 5 pts and that along with the updates saying they only had one slight bobble makes it seem likely.
(edited) Just saw previous, guess that clears it
It cost them the silver, glad they still got a globe. I don't have a problem with the rule, I have a problem with the penalty. Would just like to see it handled differently.
I wasn't there this year, but have been for the last 4 years. I don't ever remember sitting in the audience and thinking this team is taking too long to get off stage (and slowing down the competition). Not saying it has never happened but... not sure it was a real problem. I have sat there...
Agree, this was not the way to handle it. Rule should be changed, fine the gym, put the offender in cheer jail but don't penalize a bunch of kids who did nothing wrong and everything right :(
And to add to this even if you are belted, anyone in the car who is not belted puts you at risk, as they will become a human projectile in an accident. My kids high school makes them (and a parent) go to a presentation before they are allowed a on campus parking pass. The presentation included...
Thanks for the correction, I didn't find them in my search and was surprised, I thought I'd seen them globe previous years. I searched on Cheersport (one word) and previous years they were in the wiki as Cheer Sport (two words), LOL! Don't know which is correct?
Congrats to CALI with 4 Golds and 1 Silver this weekend!
Congrats to all the gyms winning their first globe: FAME, Mac's, Vancouver, Cheersport, PCM, BCA-Club Deportivo, Team Puerto Rico.
Congrats to Stealth on their first Gold!
Love seeing some new folks making their way to the podium :)...
I think one of the flyers on the right (looking at the stage) missed a body position and it looked like a bobble/omission (i.e. not a planned omission) Not sure though, they were really on this morning
I am not a fan of the schedule either, but I am going to give a shout out to my Twister girls and guys, they performed at 10pm last night and came back strong this morning! Yell for Twisters!
So I am confused if they only sold 500 session tickets to each session and they aren't letting you in with your hopper pass, who are they letting in to the other 4000 seats? (So glad I am missing this drama!)
