So i paid for the live feed. I'm trying to watch videos from earlier in the day. Very choppy and no sound. Is this typical? The live feed had sound and was watchable. Low key annoyed.
This. CP's team has consistently scored in the mid-90s all season. Saturday they hit, and ended up with an 88. Wut??? And other programs mentioned similarly odd scoring.
I was completely unimpressed with this competition. A very expensive weekend for a very meh event.
I don't think "full time" coaches are all that common, especially in startup programs. I've been with programs where all of the coaches have had outside full time jobs. I've also been in a program where the coaches have a much larger time commitment. That said, I don't know how much of their...
I think the methodology isn't consistent. Our director said that wildcard bids would not be accepted for our gym (satellite gym) yet last weekend, another satellite gym was announced for a Wildcard bid. Not sure how it will play out, but each to her own. I will say, that team looked totally...
I'm not privy to the scores, but placements in CP's division were pretty much as I expected. I watched all teams in the division day 1, I missed 2 of them on day 2. No surprises at awards.
At the same time, I think there's sometimes bias against big name gyms. Their lower level teams are sometimes scored more harshly, because they're subconsciously compared to L5 teams with big reputations. Le sigh. The drama in cheer is as big as the bows.
I so feel you. We're at a new program this year. CP tried out with level 4 running tumbling and level 3 standing. She was placed on a level 3 team (was 4 last year) and she is happy with her placement.
In October, new gym tumbling instructors decided to fix her set in running tumbling. CP...
I love it when things come together. CP isn't on terribly late, although who knows how late awards are. But... I got a call from the school that Monday is a 3 hour delay because it's the first day of the new semester. Even with a long drive home, she won't be too wrecked to go to school. She...
Still no schedule? Hello, it's Wednesday. Well, at least weather.com is really dialing back the Snowmageddon predictions. 1-3 on Saturday and an inch or less on Sunday. They're calling for 4-6 at home on Saturday, so no worries at all since I'm leaving Friday.
That's only 20 minutes or so from my home. I don't know of any Philly/Montco gyms that go there. Is there a website for the event? I'm pretty sure my daughter's rec team went, but that was at least 5-6 years ago.
Very pleasantly surprised. I've been to some first time comps that were horrible. This one had it together, from a spectator's POV at least. Everything was pretty much on time, the venue was not cramped, there was a spectator viewing area. The lines for food and drink were kind of long, but they...
