I don't get what's different about this year's deductions, it all looks the same as last year. Am I missing something?
I just found the deduction sheet from last year because I was curious and all of the SB, SF, under-rotated, etc are the same from what I can see.I believe the "sportsmanship" related deductions are the same as last year, so I am surprised at the reaction. I am pretty sure under-rotated tumbling is LESS of a deduction this year which surprises me (I think it was 3.0 last year). I think the other deductions (SF, SB, OOB, music) may be higher this year. It does seem like the deductions are more clearly defined which is a great thing.
And BTW how is high-fiving a teammate a display of unsportsmanlike conduct? If anything should make me feel bad, it should be that fact that an amazing competitor of mine hits their routine perfectly, not the fact that they high-fived afterwards. :chillpill:I believe the "sportsmanship" related deductions are the same as last year, so I am surprised at the reaction.

I agree with all of the deductions for the most part, the excessive celebration is not allowed in other sports (ex football). The only one that I don't like is the pre performance rituals...1) why does it matter what a team does backstage as long as it doesn't affect another team 2) who will enforce it? USASF employees siting backstage?

Teams seemed to be fine not celebrating on the mat last season when the rules went into effect. Now lets hope teams (and coaches) learn from Lady Lightning and don't have somebody run onto the mat after the routine and get a deduction like they did. I'm still not quite sure why some people are still freaking out about this when it's not new lol.

So does that mean my team can't pray back stage?!
