Did anyone notice Varsity switched the published scoresheets back to the original version that still uses MAX for tumbling and has the Elite skills not equal to the advanced skills as they were in the second version?
So yesterday there was an announcement of the World Allstar Federation which is a non-profit governing body for cheer and dance. What do we know about the people behind it? Do we expect USASF and IASF to take retaliatory action against gyms/EPs that join in a away similar to the threats they...
Before making changes like these, I personally feel strongly Varsity needs to fix the accuracy and quality of the judging. My CP team was in a division in ACP Ohio where the whole division received the same dance and stunt quality scores. Making a more complicated, difficult to judge scoring...
Unless you are on multiple teams with custom uniforms or a worlds team that has multiple uniforms thought the year you are getting jobbed by gym upcharging. My CP has been competing for 11 years at multiple large/well know gyms, and we have never paid more then $450 for a Worlds and $350ish for...
ICE Barrington, which allegedly has had multiple Covid outbreaks, turned in 120+ medical waivers so that none of their athletes had to wear masks. This put every other athlete that competed at Holiday Classic this weekend, all family members of athletes and all the Varsity employees at risk of...
In a lawsuit like this, they are entitled to do discovery and get those records, which unless the case file is sealed by a settlement or judges order those records will become public record. A jury trial ask is not surprising in case like this, I expect Varsity to try to get the case dismissed...
Being honest, unless the virus magically disappears things won't be able to go back to being like they were, especially sports, cheer comps, large theme parks, etc until there is a vaccine. The underwriters I have talked to who underwrite the required insurance for those type of events say...
The likely reason for excluding Youth teams from the "Real Summit" is that Disney has told them Park, Hotel and Wide World of Sports Capacity will be severally limited Look at the main cheerleading venue at WWOS, they won't be able to run more then 2 floors at the most but probably one in that...
As for the Summit/Worlds, it won't matter as to whether USASF/IASF and Varsity want to cancel their events. The truth is Disney Parks will have to close Disney World, like they just announced the closure of Disneyland. This will take the choice out of their hands, though it would be nice if...
Not The Global Games, Repeat not the Global Games
Just heard of this event, one major gym that my CP competes against on a regular basis here in the midwest had teams turn down summit bids and are attending this instead. What does the Fierce Board Collective know about this?

If this is the case this is collusion and likely highly illegal.
Here is what I know to be the case in the Chicago area:
Cheer Extreme, GymTyme and ICE all have locations within 50 miles of each other(more like 10-15 miles). I believe these are all Alliance programs.
The irony is no major...
So this is really interesting, because in many cases the major hotel companies have contracts with major employers to provide them the best rates and are contractually required to extend that rate for employee leisure. On top of that sites like Priceline buy blocks of rooms at a contracted rate...
everyone is assuming Disney asked for this. If I was Disney Parks I would not be happy about this. Alcohol is one of the most profitable items they sell, and this will significantly effect alcohol sales at the parks, restaurant and more to the point the hotel bars and gift shops(you can by...
