All-Star Bids Awarded

[lcheergirl]

It seems like this year, more than ever the bids being awarded at competitions have been done really carelessly. It seems like their have been numerous scoring errors. Teams winning with routines that never would have won in previous years. Competitions making major mistakes in the award process. What happened to the days when a team had two good routines and won strictly on performance, and the competition company getting the scores correct. It is time to finally make all score sheets available, because it seems to be getting worse. Is this caused by competition companies moving scores around? Would love to hear opinions!!! Not saying this is happening, just way to many issues at every national event. Is it time for a universal score sheet?

Yes I agree. I feel like a situation like this happened at Jamz nationals this weekend.

Preaching it to the choir. It has been discussed several times. Most people on this board are all for it but coaches are still having trouble making it happen.

There have always been scoring errors. Rare is the competition that hasn't have at least a few issues with mistakes made somehow in the tabulation or awards ceremony. Social media just makes them more public now.

Isnt this the perfect form to start making it happen? I am not sure how many people are on this site in a day, or a week, but start a petition an have the people that are for it, sign and send to competition companies. If most people are for it, like I think they are, why not demand a change for it to happen. I realize there is always going to be human error in scoring, but by making changes to make them less frequent like other sports have, will make it easier for people to reconize cheer as a sport.
