First I want to state for the record this is not a post against any team that took home the gold this weekend.....
This is my first question...
The skills are the same..the execution is the same...so what will it take for another name outside of the Cheer Athletics, World Cups, Top Guns, or place name of mega program here...to win ????
My answer to this delima is we are stuck with the same teams at the top not because others cannot do it better but because in the end we have a pool of judges that only know and respect one style and until they leave or are replaced we will always have very little change at the top.
We have a judges "overall impression" problem. The impression of the judges and thier opinion of who should "win" has not changed in the last 6-7 years, because the same "opinions" are still sitting in the same chairs....
Others can do it just as good as the household names so my 2nd question is this......
Can anyone hope to succeed if the majority of judging panels have not changed for almost a decade????
