All-Star Cheer Athletics (questions/rumors)

[BlueCat]

How do you decide how to spell cats? Like some are ____Cats or _____Katz. I've always been kind of curious as to why some are C vs K and end with a S vs Z.

Sometimes it is K/Z, sometimes C/S. Sometimes it is capitalized, sometimes not. Sometimes "cats" it is even a separate word, sometimes not. There is no logic to it. I have lost many arguments over the years when naming teams. If it were only up to me, they would all be _____cats.

Sometimes logic and efficiency don't trump "but it looks cooler when you write it out"

(I am extremely fortunate that this is the type of thing we don't see eye-to-eye on - very trivial in the grand scheme of things.)

Care to place a bet? I'll take Panthers as large senior 5 - you can have the field.

calling it right now- babs switching divisions..

I wouldn't be surprised if they went back to medium.

I know it's already been confirmed Panthers are large, but just curious as to why y'all thought they would be switching divisions?

I kind of thought so because i saw quite a few babs switch to cheetahs, as well as not hearing ANYTHING about babs til quite a bit later.. figured that if it was a large team one of the 35/36 would have gotten their call, so maybe they went back to small or medium.. I think babs calls started later than the others, whether intentional or not I'm not sure..

I was in division with fiercekatz this previous season & I loved all of the girls. They were all so sweet. I'm sad fiercekatz just made a comeback & they're gone already

Same and they were one of Great Whites biggest competitors. Now PRAYING for Pink Ladies to make a comeback!

I wonder..... if Pink returns, would the team name "Blink" switch back to "Black"?

hopefully because the name blink doesn't really go with the theme of the gym does it? But I do like their new uniforms so maybe they should keep the name haha

2015-16 Teams and historical team counts

A large junior four at EVERY location... Wow! I'm impressed

 

[CharlotteASMom]

11 teams in Charlotte - that's crazy! Also interesting to see multiple large L3 and L4 teams in Charlotte. Good base for the future! Congrats for the growth everywhere even though I'm partial to this area.

 

[driverto6]

Anyone keeping track of how many new Junior Restricted 5 teams there are? I have noticed several Large ones listed. Just thinking this division might be bigger than expected.

IO5. OUT OF CHARLOTTE.

Why oh why did I ever stop cheering

I wouldn't be surprised to see Blink go into IOSC6. A lot of blink was Louisville small coed, so I wouldn't be surprised to see them take the same route as Large Coed and compete (more or less) the same routine at Worlds as at College Nationals.

ETA: Sorry, this is a CS discussion thread, probably should discuss this in the New Teams thread.
