Actually, Top Gun, GA, and World Cup all attended NCA (a World's bid competition) in 2004. That was an important year for Stars because that was the first time they won the Large Senior division. Also, World Cup didn't attend Worlds in 2005, either. The "boycott NCA" year was 2005.

The first year of Worlds was 2004, and none of those programs "boycotted". World Cup just didn't qualify for Worlds that year because at that time, I think only the top 2 scoring level 5 teams at bid-events were invited (again I think...we're talking 14 years ago). In 2005, these teams...

Or when Panthers went from 36 to small with 20, then to medium, back to large Or when F5 went from large to medium back to large Or when WC Suns go back and forth between medium and small every few years, as did WC Odyssey in 2017 and maybe even again in 2019 These are more examples of mega...

Their score was .23 lower than the one they received at the Ultimate Battle. CJA's was .67 higher.

We are all talking about GI Pros marking their routine. The reason why they did it is a conversation we've all been having for years. Their actions didn't spark the topic, and it probably didn't serve as much of a solution, unfortunately. So, I'd say "ineffective."

Team Gunz had an unfortunate major stunt fall that cost them 1.25 points, so unfortunately GI Pros denied themselves the opportunity to ever know the answer to that.

They have been doing killer routines for years and getting a lot of credit at MANY reputable competitions, and have won grand champions at several of them, beating out teams that have won Worlds. They haven't made finals at Worlds because they haven't hit in Semi-Finals, not because judges have...

No offense, but there is nothing invalid about a score dropping by a mere .23, and other than the fact that this was a lower-scoring panel than usual, there wasn't really a mess to fix. The order of the level 5 placements was on point, and at the end of the day, that's more important. Just...

Raw scores absolutely should not and will not remain the same all weekend when technique and performance can easily fluctuate from day to day.

Team Gunz scored a 96.3 at the Ultimate Battle on Friday, which is the lowest they scored with a HIT routine all season. Although they "hit", the pyramid was shaky, an athlete omitted a tumbling skill from a pass, and they didn't perform to their full potential. Instead of focusing their energy...

By the way, Russia was just banned from the 2018 Winter Olympics as a punishment for its "state-sponsored doping during the last Winter Games." That's how you make a point.

This sounds like the right thing to do in theory, but why would any owner feel compelled to make a change in his or her own gym's behavior if no precedent has been set regarding the public consequences they may face? We've heard all the stories and gossip about them, and then nothing is done...

Although the situations don't have much in common (thank God), this sort of reminds me of what's going on in Hollywood and in the national media with sexual harassment. The horrible stories surrounding the likes of Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer, etc. have been quietly circulating for decades and...

That's awesome! I love that so many new programs will be able to experience Worlds. Let them compete against the XS teams from every program that can field one, no matter how many other Worlds teams they have. I would assume all of these new teams in the division want the chance to say that they...

I am not against XS, but what do you think the intent of making it a Worlds division is? In my opinion, there's no need for a training wheels division at the World Championships, which is exactly what it is unless every team is able to compete in it. If a program can field another great Worlds...

I'm sorry, but I don't see were it says you need to connect any jump to standing tumbling to get a 5. I see three advanced or two plus one. Can you point that out?

I know, right? Autumn de Vitry aka getsum ;)

For many people, in my opinion, it's an organized way of releasing nervous energy.

I would familiarize yourself with your scoresheet because that is not a level 4 pyramid. Most Worlds teams will include lower level elements in their stunts and pyramids for variety and creativity. It's actually encouraged. I do agree the pyramid does not currently deliver the same WOW factor as...
