Looks like their is a decided advantage to either having 14 or 19 people on a squad. Allows jumps and tumbling to fall in most category with only 9(for 14) and 12(for 19), but you need 15 for 20-22. http://varsity.com/uploads/editor/files/PDFS/AllStar/17/17-18_VAS_Scoring.pdf

Honestly... how much does that matter?

Someone told me where to find the scores from our last comp online so I looked at them to learn what I could. So I actually have 2 questions: 1. for some teams, it just listed final score out of 100. For other teams, it listed final score out of 100 but also broke it down to include their...

I was thinking about this randomly the other day, Does anyone happen to know what the highest scoring routine of all time is?

When you have a 2 day competition, how can you have a higher raw score when you had some deductions on day 1. And on day 2 you Hit but wind up with a lower raw score. Can someone please explain?

We are over half way through the season and past two of the three large national comps. I was wondering what people's impression of the scoring with the new rule changes this year. Do the scores seem pretty consistent from comp to comp? Does there appear to be more subjectivity than in...

I had a browse of previous topics and haven't seen this pop up, so I'm curious. I've never quite understood the basis of scoring in cheer - my limited knowledge leads me to think that different competitions award varying points. Is there a general rule in each level about what each skill is...

I was looking over the new Varsity/JamFest scoring rubric and I had a question about level 6 (though there aren't too many level 6 coaches on here, so I'm expecting crickets). It says under the Difficulty section: "For Level 6 Stunts: All Level 5 & 6 level appropriate skills will be considered...

What is the difference in deduction between a tumble bust or tumble touch down if any? If both occur in a routine on two separate passes do you deduct more?

Hi. My CP has been in cheer for 3 years and is starting on a senior 3 team this year. I never feel like I understand scoring very well and I'm often surprised to find out who won and lost after watching performances. It seems like there's so much more than just who looks the best… does anyone...

Simple question which do you prefer? 25/75 or 50/50? Day one you go out perform perfectly and have first place by .25 second place team has a .5 deduction day 2 you and the second place team both hit and the second place team leap frogs you and take first. I understand the math and a higher raw...

I'm just wondering if anybody knows the specifics for creating a stunt group routine. I know it has to be one minute, but when I spoke to the competition we were competing at, they just said to follow the varsity stunt section (they use the same score sheet and just cross out the other...

Thoughts?

Hi, this is probably a stupid question...but I have always wondered about this. When you are at a comp that doesn't create small, medium, large divisions, is there any scoring consideration given to the fact that a larger team has to keep 6 or 7 fliers in the air vs say 4? My daughter is a...

"Scores are based on performances at that day’s event compared to other teams in your division and/or level. Teams will notice a variance in scores from event to event." How much of an impact will comparative scoring have on comp. this year? Thanks!

I have a question for all the experts out there regarding the new Varsity scoring system for tosses. CP and I try make sure that we understand the rules, scoring system, and score sheet so that we know where her team's routine stands compared to others. We are a bit confused about tosses...

So here is why I am not a fan of comparative scoring. Your working memory can only hold 5-9 objects. That means instance of things that you can remember is limited to 9. That isn't teams, that is objects. Stunting might be an object. But stunting sequence individual pieces and falls might be...
