I like 50/50....a good team is a consistant team...this way the "one day wonder" teams can win.

Actually 25 / 75 is amazing, DOES reward consistency, and is better than 50 / 50 by a long shot. You just have to know why its great. Judging a large group of teams (which is any amount over 5) can be very difficult to get perfectly right, especially on the first pass. With 25 reverse order you judge all the teams and get them ranking from 1st to last place. Then reverse it for day two. In theory the judges the next day should see the weakest teams at the beginning of the division and the strongest teams at the end of the division. The judges get to see the best team right next to the best team to judge them the most accurately. Because, sometimes seeing a weak team next to a best team CAN inflate the best teams score (or depending on the order the judges might hold back a bit in case something comes along stronger later). And, with a day 1 of 25% the judges can be more concerned with getting the order 'mostly' correct. If I have a top level team out of 10 and we are in the top 3 going into day 2 I know we are in position to be judged well on day 2. If I have a top level team and we BOMB day 1 and we go first I know we have a VERY low chance of winning.
The number one reason why cheersport likes 50/50? It allows them to script out the entire event performance order and makes sure everyone can crossover as much as they would like. You cannot do that with 25/75 reverse order.
Hi Kingston, I always admire your responses becasue they are normally well thought out and sound very knowledgable. Becasue of this I am really surprised at your response in regards to this subject. We are really goong to have to agree to disagree on this one. In your quote above you said "If I have a top level team and we BOMB day 1 and we go first I know we have a VERY low chance of winning". So are you saying that if a team (any teams top level or lower level) bombs on days one they SHOULD have a chance of winning? See this is where I see the biggest problem. I feel that ANY team that bombs on day one shouldnt be able to win the competition just like if you bomb on day 2. (Unless everyone bombs, then yes one of the teams that bombed one day will win). However what make it okay for the team to bomb day one to win and not the team that bombed on day 2? It it is 50/50 then the team that is the MOST consistant will win. In my opinion, There is no other way to look at it. It just makes sense. If you were playing a football game would you think it would be fair for the touchdown to be worth 6 points in the first half and 18 points in the 2nd half?

You are looking into that statement too much (very low chance of winning). Why? Because it is sports and there is a chance that anyone will win on any day. So to say a team bombed on day 1 and they have absolutely 0% chance of winning is wrong. Yes they have a chance, its just very low. So, hence, low chance of winning.
25/75 will produce your most consistent ending results and rankings. Now, before we misread consistent as in 'the same people always win' what I mean is 25/75 will produce the most reliable results across the board at every competition. What we want.
