Congrats to Tsunami, congrats to F5, congrats to every other team NOT from Maryland.
For the Maryland teams in Large Senior 5, one of you was on top the first day, and the other was on top the second. (And the same goes for WCSS and CEA in different competitions throughout the season)
We all know that in most competitions throughout the cheer world, day 2 counts more than day 1 and that is just the way it goes!!!
Everyone surely knows this by the time you reach Level 5. Even teams who "lose" have highlights, better days than others, days they are better than others, competitions where they were "robbed", loads of amazing potential, and teams they just cannot stand. And we all know that now matter how much we want "facts" ....judging, refereeing, etc is still subjective, alas the mere definition of these different terms.
Whether anyone likes it or not, in sports, the "record" from the season and the ending outcome is still the bottom line. And we all knew this when we signed up (unless you were like 5 years old when you started and your parents got you into this haha), and we still know it now. The majority of the teams have had times where they felt like their team should have won. And guess what? Sometimes you do win....and sometimes you don't. What about the times where you didn't think you were going to win, or times where you don't think you deserve to win, yet you do win and then celebrate.
Every time someone wins, someone else is disappointed. A true winner is someone who can not only celebrate their own wins, but also those of others.
