Well let me start by saying that the team I am about to speak of my daughter is not on. So I have no "dog in the fight" as some might say.
This is not a true statement. Last weekend the S5 team at my daughters gym went to Indy and due to a calculation error were placed 7th rather than 5th. So, teams under them got at large and paid bids. The parents and coaches have been nothing but a class act in their reaction. They are even thankful that Jamfest at least tried to petiton the USASF for another bid . They were not given the bid. The last time I looked Jamfest had changed the score on their website but did not change ranking. They did offer to pay for them to go to another comp that are awarding bids, but there is no guarntee they will get one. The previous trip to Indy also had a questionable result but I do not know the ends and out of it well enough to speak of. It was a little more subjective than a calculation error though. I applaud this group for trying to take the hight road. I'm afraid they would have to duct tape my mouth though.
My post was very general in nature!! Maybe I should have been more specific! I wasn't accounting for Judging errors or other things out of the ordinary that might be exclusive!!
