Apparently all the coaches agreed ahead of time that the grand champ would be judges choice, no matter what the scores showed. Still don't understand that, but that's what I was told.
That is what I was wondering during the backlash about grand champion... Aren't the program aware of this before they decided to bring their teams. I can't see the EP not disclosing this ahead of time. So everyone had to know. At least that is what seems logical.
My other thoughts reading through all of this and twitter.... saw complaints about the time difference and the kids competing late. When we travel to worlds from the west coast our teams have had to be at the event to warm up at 4:30am 5:00am our time. It stinks and it's just unfortunate when you have to travel like this.
The cost to come to the west coast for the east coast teams.... So it goes without saying that is the case every year for worlds for the west coast teams. I still think that Worlds needs to move around the country (I know that has been something discussed before and is pretty hard to make happen, but it sure would be nice for the other side of the country).
Congratulation to Senior Elite on Grand Champions still one of my favorite teams this season.
Top Gun is unbelievable again. They came out the gate ready for the road to worlds. I am hoping they take the Gold.
To Black Ops who look so good this year. They have a performance level that is unbelievable this season. Think it is my favorite season so far for them. They found a formula that works for that team.
Brandon - by far is my favorite small coed team. They look flawless, professional as someone stated and there is something about them that sends off a positive vibe, but not cocky even though they're AMAZING!
and to all the teams that competed this year at The Champions league, I can't wait to see what you bring to worlds this season. It's going to be a fun fight to see who comes out victorious.
