All-Star Worst Deductions Ever/can You Even Be Deducted For This?

[ilikebigbows]

One time a bigger girl from my old-old gym got her team a deduction because the judges said she "glowed" a was too distracting. In other words, she was too pale. Nevertheless, she wore a nude-colored bodysuit under her half-top uniform the next day. How embarrassing!

it was the 04-05 season!

I think I was on Tiger that year. I was on HH 05-06.

My team at Worlds last year was in 3rd place and we were going to move on to the finals but we got a deduction for our music being .3 SECONDS TOO LONG... -____- We got bumped to 8th place and didn't move on... Ridiculous...

What team/division?

SC high school teams get some silly deductions. A girl got one for a tiny anklet that was tucked in. (30 points out of 300). You can get it if your hair is too long and you're wearing it half up half down. It can't touch your shoulders.

This private school got a 30 point safety deduction for stepping on one of their signs. You can see how she barely even grazes it on the left hand side at like at 1:27. It knocked them from State Champs to 3rd place.

The worst part of all of this was that the team that won dropped a stunt and had a really bad bobble in another

...reasons why I have trouble arguing cheerleading as a sport sometimes

Wait, how can you get a deduction for smiling too much??! I understand not getting full points for not smiling enough....but TOO much? Seriously?!

 

[JayySoFierce]

If judges are "too distracted" my somebody being pale or smiling too much then there's a bigger problem at hand..

What about the whole bows/ shoes falling off? how much of a deduction is that?

My team last year got a deduction when a girl lost her shoe and I tripped over it during tumbling -__-

Surely that would be racial discrimination! That's just ridiculous!

To add to the profanity deduction, my teams have also had deductions for glitter in the hair, removing uniform top before leaving floor, covering belly button ring with band-aid and deduction for appearance, because someone wore a bright pink sports bra under her white uniform top.

Why did someone remove their uniform top before leaving the floor?

This totally sucks, but it's written in the rules and all coaches should know. It was easily avoidable on your coaches' part.

 

[aggie1983]

To be honest, except for the glitter in hair, I'm on board with every one of those deductions, including the profanity.

addendum: I just thought, the glitter could easily fall out of a flyers hair into a base's eyes, which would be exceedingly irritating to the eye.

Why did someone remove their uniform top before leaving the floor?

she was competing on 2 teams and didn't want to wait til she got in the back...... but the other 5 did wait til they got in the locker room area
