OT New Cheer Update Rating System, So Clueless?! Help!!!

[Pebbles49]

I've been going through Cheer Update thread for the team competition, but I noticed they have a new rating system... Can anyone help me with these new initials like AB, BB, AF, etc... What do these initials mean and what are the possible deductions?

AB - Athlete Bobble aka touch down
AF - Athlete Fall aka tumble bust
BB- Building Bobble
BF - Building Fall

There are definitions on his twitter. But, AB= athlete bobble aka touch down; BB= building bobble or stunt bobble; AF= athlete fall or tumbling bust; BF= building fall or stunt fall.

definitely confusing at first, but I believe he changed the terminology to match how deductions are named on the scoresheet

Why fix something that wasn't broken? All I see on his timeline are confused people...

Yea, it does make sense to have it match the scoresheet though

I was thinking the same thing. Does he at least specify if it was a pyramid or stunt fall/bobble?

Yes. I think the word athlete bobble just throws me. I keep picturing people like bobbling in heels all over the stage.

Are the deductions the same? Where can this new terminologies be found? You know, I had just learned the old system with value/ deductions and now they changed it... grrr!

Well stunt bobbles are no longer a deduction. He still announces them because they affect execution scores.

When I see AF (Athlete Fall), all I can think of is an athlete tripping as they were walking somewhere (which we often see after they've nailed their tumbling pass)...

I'm still confused as to how AB (Athlete Bobble) = TD (Touchdown)... what if an athlete lands a pass but takes a few paces back for balance, does that count as a "bobble"?

Well one of my teams got a 1.25 point deduction for a girl tripping last weekend because when she stepped out of her stunt (both feet on the ground) and went to move, she fell over her backspot's feet [emoji854] so [emoji854]

I don't think that would be a deduction, execution maybe.

Did she go to the ground? Or just trip and the catch her balance?
