    All-Star How Does Scoring Work? ....

    Do you mean perform twice in one day? Or just compete once total? And most varsity events are 25% day 1, 75% day 2.

    All-Star Wcss Going Medium!

    Which is just plain silly...that just does NOT happen....:rolleyes:

    All-Star The War Has Begun

    Yes, this was cleared up some time ago. I was just going off what the NCA schedule had said. Goodness people! :chillpill:

    All-Star I Hope You Lose - Nca & Nda All-star Nationals

    You stole my term I saw! ASCheerMan - A snow plow parent is a parent that "plows" all the obstacles out of the way of their child/ren so they have an easier, clearer path in life. Perfect name, huh? I. Love. It.

    All-Star Nca Needs Bids?

    I know there are 8 full paid, 24 at-large. I'm not sure NCA gives partials. Someone else may know though....

    All-Star Yet Another Harlem Shake...

    Also not cheer-related (and borrowed from someone else), but it kills me:

    All-Star The War Has Begun

    Hm, well on the NCA schedule is says they are from Mechanicsburg, PA. That's where I was getting the info.

    All-Star The War Has Begun

    But CT Love isn't out of the VA gym, it is out of the PA gym, which has been around for like 15 years. I'm not dissing this team or saying it's a new division for them (at least in several years), but that's like saying Rays Peach is a new gym just because they are fielding a large senior team...

    All-Star The War Has Begun

    Cheer Tyme is not a first year gym. Just sayin. They have been around for a REALLY long time. New division for them, yes, at least in a long while. But they are not some new gym taking on the beast that is Large Senior AG, they are quite an established gym.

    All-Star Cheersport Scoring

    How does a different percentage make the final placements "right"? I would think 50/50 would promote consistency because you really need to hit both days to do well. Isn't that important in this sport?

    All-Star Cheersport Scoring

    quitthedrama So is NCA now too big? They are bigger than Cheersport (at least on paper as of now) They need tons of judges. I am not saying quality of judges vary from panel to panel, arena to arena, event to event. But your issue seems to be that it's too BIG. Jamfest Supers are pretty large...

    All-Star Cheersport Scoring

    NCA is just as big (maybe even bigger this year) as Cheersport. And their scoring is on the Varsity scoresheet now, so I'm not sure what the discrepancy is. I kind of like the 50/50 because it demands consistency to some extent rather than day 1 being a "warm up" performance and then day 2...

    All-Star Nca Dallas 2013

    I am guessing it is for the helpers that are out on the floor with them. The "crossover" designation probably is for scheduling purposes so that it is known that they compete on whatever team it says they cross to. Avoids them not being able to be out there with the Special Needs team that...

    All-Star Level 3 Legality Question

    I feel this is one of those rules that seems out of progression due to OTHER rules preceding it in the level, or whatever. According to the rules, as written, it would appear that the correct explanation is icheer8796 says. It is legal if you release but are braced on both sides (arm-to-arm)...

    All-Star Cp Claims She Can No Longer Do Her Tuck, What To-do. Help

    Well....she IS only 8. Kids have their ups and downs in this sport for whatever reason. It happens to the best of them. I would NOT talk about it, not pressure her, not offer her incentives, nothing. Just let her continue to cheer and see if she and her coaches can work it out. An 8 year old...

    All-Star Comparing Scores Across Competitions

    Katie Stella wouldn't be a bad choice for the Panel Judges...keeping it in the family! But I think she is great!

    All-Star Stingrays

    I would just call them. They are usually very welcoming to visitors at anytime. I know that they loan out space Friday to other gyms for practice time, so you might get to see some really great teams AND some Stingray teams. But I would just give them a call to see about specifics.

    All-Star Comparing Scores Across Competitions

    I don't disagree. There are many companies that have video verification, etc. And I agree that it is frustrating when something is missed. I am just saying that nothing will get rid of that human error entirely. That was my only point. Fining people, yelling at people, whatever, they are...

    All-Star Restricted

    There are quite a bit more restrictions than are listed here. Way more than no standing fulls and no running doubles. There are more limitations on tumbling, limitations on baskets, limitations on pyramid transitions. Quite a bit different than level 5 in most of the areas of cheer. Just...

    All-Star Comparing Scores Across Competitions

    newcheerdad: Safety judges are separate from difficulty/panel judges. They are also not certified by EPs, they are certified through the USASF, and are re-certified each year (if they pass the test). What I think part of the problem is that EPs all use different scoresheets (not ALL, but i...
