Hey Weezy???!! I need to get in that forum. HELP!!

What forum are you referring to and did you read the rules on how the process works to get in?

Generally gyms only get upset if you are using their logo and selling it. Can't guarantee, but it's likely not an issue.


**If you don't know, look in the Fierce Board Terms.**

 

[My3cheergirls14]

First off, we are thrilled you have chosen to be part of the largest cheerleading board in the world!

This board is great! You can learn alot about cheer (high school, allstar, college, etc), what is going on behind the scenes, find a choreographer, make friends, etc.

We are however VERY protective of our board. On more than one occasion (alot actually), we have had people (either new or old) come on here with the sole purpose of creating drama. We eventually find out who you are and the result is usually a permanent ban on the board.

Please keep in mind this board has a WIDE age range. Keep your posts appropriate and consider the person you may be responding too is a minor. We do have an over 18 section, however that DOES NOT give you carte blanche to be rude and insulting.

And as for rude and insulting, do not make your posts personal. Remember these are young athletes on these teams. Treat others how you yourself would like to be treated, as well as your mother, sister, brother, etc.

Before you can post anywhere in the Cheerleading specific forums you must make 3 posts in here and have been registered for 72 hours (counting from the moment you registered). There will probably be someone willing to come along and answer any question you have, so take advantage of this 3 question requirement here in newbies. Other forums are not as forgiving to newbie questions, so try and ask in here while observing the other forums.

Here are the Top Ten rules for Newbies on Fierce Board:
(Written by our very own, Sharkdad)

1. If you're new, ask newbie questions in the newbie forum first.
You will get friendlier answers in here than the main board.

2. Before you ask a question or post your opinion, see if someone else already has.
Make sure to read the entire thread and use the search bar at the top of the boards. If in doubt, PM someone and they should be happy to help.

3. Ask the right questions in the right sections
Try and keep the music questions in the music section, the allstar questions in the allstar section... etc...

4. Keep posts on topic with the subject.
Don’t go into a post about a competition and ask “how do I improve my BHS?” If it succeeds in derailing the conversation going on it’s called “hijacking” a thread.

5. Have a purpose for your post!
All posts (negative and positive) are welcome, but only if they have a reason behind them. Saying a program/team/routine sucks JUST because is not a reason, and your opinion will instantly be discredited around here

6. Don't make statements about how other people/teams/gyms are thinking or feeling. Think: the only person's opinion I should express is my own.

7. Stick to facts. Try looking it up yourself or at least ask respectfully.
You will learn a lot this way. You should never post anything like “Team X at Gym Y is going to wear polka dot socks next week” if you only read it on Facebook or through someone else’s conversation. It is entirely different to say “I think I heard that. . . .” or finish your statement with “in my opinion, but I don’t know for sure”
 
8. Keep personal accusations, questions, other stuff not relevant to more than one person private.
That's what Private Messages (PMs) are for.

9. Apologize when you get something wrong.
We’re all giving opinions here. Have respect for others and admit if you are wrong.

10. Above all, when in doubt, have respect for others and their opinions.
This will help you decide how to word your posts, and probably how to “agree to disagree” if need be.


Again, WELCOME...to the FIERCEST board ever!

Happy posting!

I'd like to know why the cheer tech in wild wood competition is so low with teams going, with 2 full paid and 4 at large I wonder why bigger jersey and penn teams would go try for worlds bid.

The competition doesn't really have the best reputation. I've never been, but I've heard people on here saying that it's not a well-run competition, poor judging, etc.

What luv2cheer92 said.

If you head into the competition threads and do a search for this competition you should find a few threads discussing it. I know of some gyms that just do not want to represent them at Worlds.

and the same team every year gets a bid, that's what I am hearing and we are going and hoping for a bid. I hope we get it and it's fair.

 

[Cheer Dad]

Do you know what the bid declaration is? Are they guaranteeing bids in a set division or just to highest scores....

I can't find the declaration, but it does say that 80% of the program has to attend the competition in order to be eligible for a bid.

I think highest scores. Not very sure and schedule still is not posted.
