All-Star Cheating In Cheer

[arispurplecheerkitty]

I don't know if this is a thread already but how does this work? I am confused. I was at a comp this year and our rival team said we cheated ( which was very rude and un sporty) but can someone please explain how you can cheat. I think I made this too long.

Using an overaged/underaged athlete, sandbagging, too many athletes on the mat, too many crossovers, an uncaught legality, and a lot of other things could be considered "cheating" considering who you're talking to.

having a high level team compete in a lower level division for a better chance of winning. ex., a level 5 team competing as a level 3 team so they can change their routine to do the hardest level 3 stunts that not the other 3 teams can do well and so they can have every single person on the team do the best level 3 tumbling. it's not technically cheating, but rude.

Our team doesn't have any of these . I am not trying to be mean but we are a small gym and we've only been around for 2 years. We have 2 teams . The other team just does showcases

That sounds awful. I'm not trying to brag? ( I don't know the word sorry) and last year we were only level 2 . We moved up a level and could never be a higher level in the first place without training .

surely they accused you of something specific, or did it just end at "you cheated" and that's all?

It sounds like in this case they must have just been being sore losers. I'd say if someone accuses you of something, just be true to yourself and remember that you don't have to be affected by their nastiness if you know you haven't really been cheating. Just let your coach know what's being said, let them handle it, let it go, and enjoy your win. Unfortunately, not everybody is sportsmanlike or nice. It's good to just take the high road and be classy.

We got first and some of the girls when they passed us made it obviously loud that it wasn't fair to give us first.

My advice is just to enjoy your time in cheer. Have fun competing and make tons of friends and memories. Don't worry about all the other stuff. It'll just drive you nuts. Glad I could help. ;)

so they never said "you cheated"? if thats the case, they were probably just bitter.

sounds like they're sore losers. Or thought they would or should have won. Did they say you cheated or it was unfair you won?

 

[ACEDAD]

If I didn't cheat, then I don't care what anyone else says.
