@Angelica "Bangkok won because they are incredible. They have become quite the performers I must say"
I would agree, but there are plenty of other teams just as incredible and are performers who would NOT have won if they had performed this routine.
@Ashley "There's a lot of international athletes on this board that would argue with you about that. Tell that to Great White Sharks, who legitimately won IO5."
Agreed, I almost included Canada. But I think you probably get what I meant.
I believe they believe the middle structure here where the flyer is above hip level

Your right there are a lot of incredible teams that were there because it's WORLDS. That's expected! But did you see any other level 6 coed team do anything like Bangkok? I'm still trying to figure out how they saved their last structure of their routine their first performance.
I feel especially at worlds you can make the scores match up to the "feel" of the routine very easily. Bangkok had the wow, energy and enthusiasm of a win in routine and I'm guessing somehow judges unconsciously or consciously wiggled that into the scoresheet.Unfortunately, there's a scoresheet and the gold medal doesn't just go to the team with the biggest WOW factor. It doesn't work like that. Their pyramids are bad-booty and they're an incredible team. But there's 67% of the scoresheet that aren't pyramids and I don't believe that their pyramid score is high enough to overcome their deficits in other areas.

The "scoresheet" is unlike any that teams compete throughout the season. The weights, ranges, lack of rubric, and overall philosophy is unlike any other event. It is insane to me that a "World Championship" is scored so differently from every other event you attend all season.
Coaches clamor (with reason) for a universal scoresheet, however, the one event that USASF controls, they make it drastically different from all of the others on purpose.
(this is not directed at Bangkok in any way)
