All-Star Worlds Info Packet

[Nothanks]

The World's packet was released/posted today...with all of the talk on the other threads about uniforms, and "sportsmanship" I think a lot of people will be interested in some of the new rules for World's this year. (Particularly pages 17-18)

Wow... Just read the athlete behavior section.. Basically no celebrating after you have completed your routine just walk off and you better not take longer than 30 seconds lol..

It's also worth pointing out that while Finals day is on Monday this year, Finals for Large Senior and Large Co-Ed are still on Sunday.

Coach must be in good standing with USASF? What is that supposed to mean?

 

[NEliteSteven]

And they upped the for admission price. That's cute..

So...... basically, don't be excited if you just hit a perfect routine at worlds....

Some of these are just ridiculous... "Athletes collapsing to the floor following a
performance when an injury does not seem
apparent." ....

 

[fiercerando88]

And for the penalties for 'excessive celebration'.... it says 2, 4 or 6 points. Are they going to randomly decide that in the moment or are they going to say "such and such will cost you 2 points, yada yada will be 4, and acting like a lunatic will be 6"? This has no effect on me whatsoever, I'm just curious as to how that will play out.

Don't forget that if you collapse to the floor and can not remain standing, they will assume you are injured and treat you as such. Guys no tripping, rolling on the floor, hugging, high fiving, chest bumping, calling attention to yourselves, running a victory lap, smiling, walking, tumbling, stunting or cheering is allowed.

I am not a worlds competitor but that's just crazy...

Be forewarned, USASF. Take those 6 points now, all because of the Team Mom.

What a joke, USASF is slowly ruining any fun left in this sport. I fear for their lives come worlds.

Right? And someone's going to have to tie down CSP and Coach Mike unless they want to be penalized. NO HAPPINESS ALLOWED. Sarcasm, obviously, I'm just really curious how this is all actually going to be enforced and penalized.

 

[mariahnicole1216]

Just another note, I see this as being way too controversial. It just adds another subjective thing to the scoresheet. What one judge may see as practical another may see as excessive. Also, I could see teams being like 'well we got deducted points for such and such while craptastic did the same thing and didn't get penalized.' I just don't see this ending well.
