Hi all! I'm looking for a little insight into what judges are looking for at competitions. I've been frustrated by teams with much less difficulty placing high (and not necessarily above my team- just in general). I think if you're competing in the advanced division, there are certain skills that you should HAVE to execute in order to even get a competitive score. I understand that judges like clean routines, however, if your team isn't attempting any of the elite partner stunts, such as full-ups. tick-tocks, or two-mans, should you really be competitive at the advanced level? If you hit a clean routine, but are only doing straight up libs throughout, do you really deserve to place above teams with maxed out difficulty with one or two drops? It's frustrating because I wonder why we are pushing ourselves all year long to master the elite stunts when other teams get by doing intermediate level skills.
