All-Star "traveling" Jump Sections

[Puma]

[My apologies if there is already a thread on this. I did a search but found nothing]

After watching several of the new routines, I have noticed that many of the bigger gyms are having jumps sections in which the cheerleaders move/travel in between jumps. Is this being rewarded on the score sheet in some way?

If so, how do ya'll feel about that? I'm not a huge fan and think that this makes the jump section look like a mess. Give me a good ol' Spirit of Texas triple toe back any day!

I have noticed it too. I like it when everyone hits in SYNC. If its off, then it looks a HAM!.

I think this is the perfect example of traveling jump sections. From 1:03 - 1:09

The only time I've ever liked it, and probably will ever like it.

I believe that adding the "traveling" (See Above) or "rotating" (Think Cali Lady Bullets 2013 Worlds) jump sequences can help increase difficulty score as long as variety of jumps are shown.

Personally I'd much rather see a intricate section with motions, ripples, level changes and a variety of jumps performed than any of this traveling stuff.

We had jump sequences that turned a couple of years ago.

Mainly though, I try to teach kids to NOT jump around during their sequence

Some people are interpreting that jump language to mean if you're not rotating in your jumps you cannot max out the score.

I don't have enough knowledge to agree/disagree, but I've heard that directly from a coach at another gym this season.

twist and shout obsession this season looks great IMO!

I thought about including a traveling jump section into our routine.
An then I remembered that we would probably kill ourselves trying this. xD

I like to watch it, though.

I have a love-hate relationship with these.

On a scoresheet my team got last year I think two judges both commented that having a variety of combo/rotating/traveling jumps would give us a higher score.

it will increase your difficulty

Depends on the score sheet. And rotating doesn't need to be full circle. Going back and forth from corner to corner would be similar.

At the end of the day, judges don't want to see you face front and do all of your jumps without moving.
