All-Star 2013 Pet Peeves

[Jennie]

People STILL using the 'its early in the season' excuse for teams mistakes just because there hasn't been a cheersport nationals/nca/worlds yet. Its February.

Isn't it just a prep at the end of the pyramid?.. or am I thinking of a different person?

From what I saw, it's just a prep that she bases. And she flys at the start for a bit (but just a show 'n go or something like that). So not super impressive basing (at least not enough to mention how 'awesome' it is, imo).

Erica I believe.. and senior elite obviously ;)

Hahaha, I thought we were talking about CJA since Kriselle was basing instead of flying at the last comp. I guess I didn't even register the pyramid part either. Shows how much I pay attention-duh...

That's exactly what I thought haha

I miss when cheer music actually had music in it. I watch routines and it's just voiceover... voiceover... voiceover...

^^^^ Ditto..this pet peeve!!

when ep's make you wait til the last second for schedules.
when you go to 2 day nationals & there's no coaches room, or there's a coaches room but no food.

We saw a group saving 3 rows of seats in RI and when someone sat there her friend would give her the look to look behind her and then she would kick them out. .... I would not leave unless someone was there to sit in that seat! She asked about 4 sets of people to leave. But it was funny when a couple came and sat and she did not try to kick the guy out!!

Something pertaining to cheer that actually annoyed me and I hope the competition company stops doing it... Letting the scores/results out before awards... I kid you not, they posted the scores/results in the practice gym (which you basically had to walk through to get to the change room we were in) quite some time before awards, so there was zero surprise at awards when we won.

My biggest one recently was a well known team who was scheduled to compete after us was at the front of the vip line and watched the the 2 teams before us and then when our team was coming out to compete they would not move to let us through. They looked at us like we were crazy when we were all screaming to please move so we can watch our team. We got to the stage area AFTER our music started. Have never been so mad!!!! Obviously the EP security sucked but this team was rude and they did the same thing to another team we talked to.

At the very end of a popular pyramid this year, at every competition, this flyer has broken wrists in her high V...drives me crazy because the pyramid just hit and the wrists are just so noticeable!

Sorry for going off-topic, but isn't Taylor basing a prep too?

I'm more than a little annoyed when I'm heading into the VIP section and a million little girls run ahead of me and take the entire front row. I know they are excited to watch too and its great to have the support but they didn't labor for 18 hours and pay thousands of dollars to watch my kid so please just let the psycho cheer moms watch their kids.
