So while I don't completely understand how CheerSport arrives at what they score, I think I have figured out a bit more how they do it. Scoring at CheerSport seems to be very similar to gymnastics. If you compete an element it is worth X amount, let us say 19 points out of 20. If you compete it EXTREMELY well and clean it might be worth 19.5. If you compete it badly it is still worth 19 points (as long as you have the ratios) but then they take off on deductions. If the element that you compete, in CheerSport's eyes, is only a 19 in difficulty then you are probably going to get that 19 as long as your numbers and ratios match.
So, to some it up. You come into CheerSport with a routine that already has a point value basically. Out of 450 team X over here is doing a routine that scores a 430. If they execute it well they might get a 435. If they execute it badly BUT have no deductions they will get a 430. If they execute badly and have deductions just taking it off the 430.
Teams that are really talented might score low because the coaches putting together the routine missed a ratio somewhere. They can adjust from day one to day 2, but you can have SUCH a low score from day 1 you can't come back.
Thoughts.
