I agree with the lack of info and misinformation. It's so frustrating as a parent spending literally thousands of dollars for my family to attend a one day/one performance competition (J5) I would have really liked to know what was going on. We did the same thing last year and I felt getting information was difficult, but this was worse. From my athlete's perspective the first CL was definitely more organized. But she did say that competing as a J5, they definitely felt like they actually mattered this time vs last time. However, we still don't know if they're getting jackets for winning or when.
While I agree with whoever said as the 2nd time of an event there are bound to be some hiccups, hasn't aloha productions been around a while? Shouldn't they know how to put on an event by now?
