The kids had fun, but it was so crowded and crazy I think that in all that time my CP was able to ride maybe 2 rides....I'm trying to figure out how to get out of it this year....We need to quickly decide today if we want to buy the wrist band for the Celebration party. Just received the text that we need to let gym know asap. We are going on the commuter package. Did anyone attend Celebration party last year? Recommendation? CP of course wants to go, but I am thinking too late and we can head home before party kicks off. What time did it start? Fun? Worth it?
Congrats! I was sitting right above your team on the bleachers when it was announced, and the screams were fun to hear. I could tell all of you were excited.So proud of my Youth 3 babies for getting one of the last bids this weekend. They're gonna do a vote this week but I'm almost positive you'll see Carolina Spirit Athletics Bling there :)
We also had no idea how bids were being dispersed. We were told Sunday that At Larges were going to be judges discretion and Paids would be by score.Congrats!

I, on the other hand, was waiting and waiting until the bitter end to see which Level 5 non-worlds team would be awarded the paid bid to Summit. Although the way bids would be given out was not written on the event website, coaches had been told 1 paid would go to a team Level 1-4, and 1 paid would go to a Level 5. I also heard the host of the event make that same announcement more than once. Surprise and disappointment ensued when a Level 3 and a Level 4 got the paid bids. With the scoring of all levels based on 100, it seems easier for a lower level team to get a higher score -- in that there is less chance of things going wrong with easier tumbling, easier stunts, etc.
So how can an EP make announcement after announcement about how paid bids will be given, and then not live up to it? Do others feel this is fair and okay, and do I just have sour grapes? We are attending Summit on an At Large, but thought we had a really good chance at getting the paid at this event. And, indeed, it seems we would have if a Level 5 had been given a paid. Interested to learn other views.
So I guess you did not hear the white haired man with the vest announce that 1 paid bid would go to a Level 1-4 team and 1 paid bid would go to a Level 5 team, as I did twice (probably on Saturday)? Just seemed like false advertising to me. Also, how do EP's address the fact that there are two (or sometimes more) judge panels, where one panel may be judging generally on a higher range than the other panel. Usually doesn't matter if awards are being given within levels (such as at NCA where 2 bids were going to each level, so as long as all Level 3 teams were judged by the same panel, top scores would work). Finally, do you think it is easier for a Level 2 or Level 3 squad to get a higher score when all are scored out of 100, or do you think scoring all levels out of 100 makes it a more level playing field. Just curious on thoughts and opinions.We also had no idea how bids were being dispersed. We were told Sunday that At Larges were going to be judges discretion and Paids would be by score.
No I didn't, but I wasn't in the Halls except to see my teams compete, so I missed any and all announcements. There was talk all day Sunday amongst coaches about how bids were being given. As of Saturday, no one I spoke to knew how they were handling bids. On Sunday, word got out they were doing At Larges based on level/judges choice and Paids by score. I don't know 100% that's how the AL's were given, but they did spread them throughout the levels. Paids did go on score.So I guess you did not hear the white haired man with the vest announce that 1 paid bid would go to a Level 1-4 team and 1 paid bid would go to a Level 5 team, as I did twice (probably on Saturday)?
