when you're at nationals and a good teams coming, like someone everyone wants to see (TG,WCSS,CEA,etc.) and people in front of you start to stand up. then by a minute the whole arena standing and no one can c so they stand on their chairs.it's so rude and annoying nobody thinks of the people behind them. and also when awards take forever. I just wanna know what place we got ,not sing and dance and throw beach balls around and all that annoying stuff that some competitions have.

When you cheer for another squad from your team and they don't cheer for you :/

If I had a dollar everytime someone walking in front of me stops dead, I could bankroll Worlds.

I understand seat saving, but there is a limit. Don't throw your bags and shoes on seats and then disappear for hours.

I dont understand why you see some teams with the same girl in the back of every routine.... she takes a knee, then does a stunt, takes a knee, does a tumble pass. I like to watch the routines from the back, and THIS drives me NUTS!

Many times that's because that person is filling in at the last minute for an injury.

I hate bad scheduling. If you know you only have one judging panel, don't schedule teams every three minutes. You'll be 15 minutes behind after the first three teams!

it bothers me when teams go crazy for other teams not winning like when you see teams that go crazy when they hear their competition got 2nd meaning that their team got 1st. i mean i know they're excited but it's the other teams moment so you should give it to them or nicely say good job then go crazy when they call your name for 1st. i don't know if anyone agrees or gets this but at my old gym they told us to give each team their "moment" & some people at my gym now agree too.

I agree 100%

At Mardi Gras for the past couple of years they will check inside your bag and if they see food they MAKE you throw it out.
What my mom and I would do is stuff the food inside my cheer shoes or I would go through, when the guard wasnt looking my mom would throw the healthy food over the railing to me and I would stuff it into my bag.

Awards that last so long that there is only one restaurant in the whole state still open.

Rude parents, ugh. Lol. I have met so many wonderful people at comps, but that 1 rude one. There is one on every team!

When you buy a competition schedule and the teams are out of order and times are way off!

i hear you on that one!

Ugh part of the warmup area for my competition last weekend was in a loading area that was partly open to the outside. In January. In Connecticut. At least in that area we were just doing a mark through on the full mat, but I was so cold!

was that at mohegan sun?

at worlds when you have to yell sit down or move every 5 minutes because people stop in the middle of the aisle and watch instead of actually finding a seat

was that at mohegan sun?
