Hello, My name is Cory Hines a cheerleading and dance coach, choreographer, consultant and judge from Miami Florida. I’m writing you to let you know a little about myself should you ever be looking to expand your current pool of judges, clinic/camp instructors or choreographers. My Current...

JUDGING AT WORLDS. EVERY YEAR HUNDREDS OF INTERNATIONAL ATHLETES SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO ATTEND THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS THEY OFTEN RETURN CONFUSED BY THE JUDGING SCORES SUCH AS THE FOLLOWING FROM THIS YEARS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS. THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT THE SCORE BREAKDOWN WITHIN EACH SECTION...

Just found out that my team is first to go at our competition, and I couldn't help but cringe. Ever since I cheered myself, it's always been forced upon me that the first team is judged the hardest. I'm curious if anyone else believes this/has heard of this. I've been told everything from first...

I am definatly not try to sound rude or bitter but did anyone else notice that the judging at the UCA nationals competition was very partial. When the judges were questioned on how teams with multiple drops received zero deductions their response was judging in subjective. Then why are there...

I would love to judge competitions in the upcoming season, but I don't know where to begin. I went to the website for Jamfest and it just gave me the e-mail for their judging coordinator but not much else. I couldn't even find a place to apply on Varsity's website, let alone information about...

Recent thread has me thinking of this. Should a coach associated with a program competing at a competition be a judge at the same competition even if not judging their teams? I know judges will say they can be impartial, and some truly can, with no favoritism towards their program but do the...

I probably only have a year or so left in me as an athlete, but I'd like to stay involved in the industry. I've never coached (and don't really have time during the week to do so anyway) but I think I could get into judging. I have no idea how to go about doing that though. Do I start with...

I am already a certified judge with Cheer Ltd., and am looking to judge more competitions next season. I am interested in getting involved with judging for jamfest, but I have emailed them on several occasions and haven't received any response. Also when is the best time to apply to judge...

Hey guys, I just wanted to find out if anyone knows any information on a video judging service? I saw an advert on here a little while ago and they said you could send them a video of your routine and they would go over it for you! Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Thanks in advance :) x

So I remember reading a while ago that some companies were going to offer a type of service where you could send in a video of your routine to get judged with an actual score sheet? Does anyone know any information about this, or if anyone is currently offering it? I'm just curious on how it...

I think that a coach of a team has the right to fight getting a deduction for a move that is "illegal" at a comp, but has not been at multiple previous comps. Last year we did the same pyramid in at least 5 comps and then all of a sudden it was illegal. Why can't judging be more across the...

There are two ways to influence and change the behavior of people in Cheerleading, rules and the scores they get when they compete. Rules work on a punishment bases by giving negative response when you break them. They are meant to stop specific actions. Scoring on the other hand is about...

Trying to get some insight from other coaches, parents, cheerleaders. I took my Level 2 small senior team to 3 competitions over the last two months. In our pyramid, we do a double braced release move. At the first competition, American Cheer Power, We did our double braced release move back...

Not sure if there is a thread on this, but did anyone attend this past weekend? How was it?

What kind of credentials and experience is required to become a competition judge?

I see a lot of comments about inconsistencies in judging. It made me think about referees in the NFL. My understanding is that after each game, the game tapes are reviewed by industry leaders and each referee is given a grade/score based on their performance. (Example, did they miss a call...

Now I'm sure at the major Nationals where they are actually being ranked the Special Needs teams will receive feed back on their score sheets on what they need to improve and things they should fix. However at most competitions they are more of exhibitions teams. What do you feel is...
