Biggest Competition Pet Peeves?

[ian]

1) When Teams walk onto the floor and huddle up into a group. -- GET SET
2) When people start jumping on the floor to get a feel for it, idk but it bothers me.
3) When everybody is set and still and then one person moves to wave/fix hair/adjust ect.
4) When Tumblers dont finish theyre pass (looking at the crowd, waving spiriting ect.)
5) Something goes wrong and they carry it with them through the whole routine.
6) They bust theyre pass and they dont get up and spirit, act like your pass was perfect.

I hate eating hairspray the minute you walk into the bathroom!

 

[acheer]

Def when there is a longggg wait between teams coming on to the mat, seriously just get on with it!

Girls walking around in nothing but sports bras. It's a bra, not a shirt, and you look unclassy. Also, waiting forever on deck. I don't know why companies don't hire a tabulator to add the scores so the judges dont have to waist time doing it

 

[DONTstopNOW]

-When people practice twisting for fulls/setting for tucks before they get on the mat. If you don't have it by now, you probably aren't going to have it thirty seconds from now.
-When people get spotted for tumbling during warmups. Your coach isn't going to be on the floor with you, dear.
-When you say good luck/good job to the team in front of you, and they look at you like you just told them you hoped they ate mat hard.
-When you're one of the last teams to get on the mat for awards, and there is only enough space for you to pile on top of eachother.
-When teams don't clap for everyone, or don't clap at all. RUDE.
-When teams leave awards after they get their award/placement. REALLY RUDE.
-When you don't like the song you're walking out to.

 

[hotTOPIC]

-When cheerleaders are in there uniform and have there belly button ring in. ( come on lets be professional )
-In full uniform with ugg boot, or heelys
-When cheerleaders are putting make up in the bathroom mirror and somebody is trying to wash there hands but they can't cause your in the way (girl all the glitter is gonna is bring out your flaws even more lls )
-Teams who think they are the Suger Honey Ice Tea
-Male cheerleaders who think they can do and say anything they want to you
-When your sitting next to a team that is scream a song that is being played
-When teams think another team stole there voice over or dance music
-RUDE cheer moms
- Little tiny/mini kids running around like they have no home training
-People who talk about overweight cheerleader when they are just mad that they have more self confidence then them
-Rude coaches
-PEOPLE THAT STAND IN FRONT OF YOU WHEN YOU ARE CLEARLY WATCHING A TEAM PREFORM !!!!!!!!!!

My biggest pet peeve is senior teams that put up 10 year olds... anyone can throw a 80 lb girl and pull a kick double...

when girls take up the ENTIRE mirror space in bathrooms doing their macup, do it BEFORE like everyone else.

when everyone sits down in the front when your team is about to go... hello move.

when the dj starts the music when you CLEARLY arent ready.

when the announcers take F O R E V E R to prounounce awards.. like comeon weve been here all day just tell us who won and we'll go.

when youre dancing before awards and girls bump into you, and they dont apologize.

when a team takes up SO much room on a mat during awards and you have NO space.

when teams flip out like CRAZY when they win a local competeion.. comeon this isnt worlds.

Shimmying in high V and Voice-overs that take cheap shots at other gyms. Lets keep it classy.

lots of good ones posted already. my biggest one is teams that don't show up to awards or as soon as they get theirs they get up and leave. happened last weekend. they announced the sportsmanship award and the team was nowhere to be found. then one team left after they got their award. they ended up winning a grand award and you saw them running back from the other side of the arena to get it only to leave again after they got it. rude x 2!

i also can't stand unorganized practice rooms with people in charge that are clueless but i guess that has nothing to do with teams - just the companies!

When your music is SUPER low! -___-
how am I supposed to do the routine when I have no music to pump me up?!

 

[CoreyGuyton]

why would you ever do that? a paid bid is a paid bid!

i know right! they're stupid!

 

[tumblebabe]

When Sr teams have 8 yr olds as their flyer......come on! SR TEAM.....! Also, when a teams starts to stand up when they just assume the announcer is going to call them out for an award.......this actually happened a couple months ago. A team started screaming and cheering when they thought they were going to get a specialty award just because they won their division, in fact the award went to the other team in that division. It was soooo classless to just assume they got it. I think they felt pretty stupid after that. Well, i mean they looked pretty dumb having done that. So i guess you can say it bothers me at competitions when teams walk around assuming they are fantastic.

 

[T&S-weber]

when cheerleaders walk around the sides of the floor with their arms bent and loose.. just because your not front and center doesn't mean no one is watching you!!!

and when girls are trying to fix their skirts in the middle of the routine.. it's super distracting!
