All-Star Usasf Major Changes

[VTX]

Okay so it took me an hour but it just snapped that this new bottom age messes up my gyms team placements that happened last week. We split our level 2 kids by age but not our lv 1 so all of our lv 1's went Sr.1 I now have 4 kids out of only 13 to young for the team, one of which is going to be 9 and was on Sr.1 last year, what the hell do I tell these kids who just started practicing together this week and worst part the owner wont answer their phone so I am going crazy here!

So when they are filming the crowd for ESPN..when they say everyone cheer when we say..I vote we all hold up signs protesting against the changes and cry..that would be a good opening for the worlds programme

Love this lets start making signs now!

Jamfest supported these rules from what I have read. Also people are talking about how big Majors will be next year, are they forgetting that Jamfest promised a trip to Europe and then pulled a "just kidding you only get a fraction of it paid"??

Moral of the story, don't trust ANY EP!

I mean, seriously, these issues are some of the last things that need to be handled. Let's discuss crossovers and sandbagging... But we can't, since there is no way to enforce anything. Awesome.

Who wants to make a second Worlds shirt with this on it?

One very well known WCSS had many upset tweets, and suddenly changed her view point to "i guess we will have to deal with it" ......

I have a big problem with the way you are
1. Misrepresenting what the entire Tweet said (with whatever goals you may have had by doing that)
2. Directly, lied by only selecting the part of her Tweet that you wanted to purport as her opinion.

Don't agree with these rules at all.guess we will just have to deal with it last tweet about it.i promise @USASF, your making a mistake


I think an apology is appropriate & don't do it again.

Not when they are there to make money and fill their pockets.

You know I have decided that my daughter can take her front walkover, BHS, and tuck to dance since thats all they really do. Now all she needs is an aerial. Maybe we can be on dance moms. These rules are stupid my daughter doesn't really need to progress much farther because after level 4 it will all look the same.

Another thought... since the sandbagging issue was overlooked..if you can't do standing fulls..what's to keep a team from just sandbagging it down to lvl 4.. I dont' mean a team with team standing fulls..but when you have a team that has several fulls... and I am not talking about super gyms.. this will hurt the teams striving to be competitve at lvl 4...

I think the problem here isn't sandbagging to level 4, most teams don't have majority standing fulls anyway. Plus, the idea of a standing tuck is still implemented during jumps to back. The issue is, that unless they do away with senior restricted 5, restricted and outright senior 5 is essentially the same division only you can basket harder and throw running doubles in one.


**to clarify, I think this is a stupid rule, but really there aren't many teams like F5 that have a ridiculous amount of standing fulls. So in general, most level 5 routines won't be drastically affected like the "top" routines will.

It's sad the amount of talented cheerleaders we're going to lose from these ridiculous new rules.

 

[NJ Coach]

So a mandate has been given to us that has basically removed Restricted 5 as a division, and taken the US out of all International divisions, but we can't stop gyms from using overage athletes and give Bangkok a globe when they use too many boys and have more illegalities than most of us can count.

Our kids must show up competition ready, their bows and makeup can't be distracting and the boys had better not be flamboyant, but it's ok for teams to drop levels, or create "ringer" teams to win a jacket.

Can't show too much skin cause it creates a bad image, but inconsistent judging and lack of a universal scoresheet is ok.

Yup...these changes are exactly what will get us considered a sport

Don’t do double fulls, because you will get injured and die. Don’t do double fulls after a whip, don’t do double fulls in standing tumbling, just don’t do it, OK, promise? OK, now everybody grab a full top.

love this

Keep the rules coming, all competitions for 2012-2013 will be held on a carpeted non-spring floor.
