All-Star Cheersport 2015

Also why so late on Monday? An extra 24 hours won't change the scores given the previous two days..

Not happy about this, they have taken the moment away from all these hard working deserving athletes.
You want to get it right? I am sure there are plenty of ways with video and dartfish to get it right.
And honestly, did you really get it wrong all these years?

Next thing you know it will be a pay per view event to see who got the bids. :banghead:

and division winners! Compete, go home, and pay $19.95 next week to see who wins!

Bids to be announced on Monday as opposed to Sunday to give judges time to choose correctly and compare across panels

I agree with this. I often wonder how they could figure out the bids correctly in the short amount of time between the end of sessions and the awards...especially for those who perform late at night. It's not as exciting of course to find out when you get home, but I would rather it be done right!!!

This is my cp14s first shot at a summit bid (we decline accepting wildcards before hand) and most of these kids have never been in a bid situation. If they're lucky enough to get one it's going to be a terribly anti-climactic moment. I guess we'll golf clap around a laptop screen....hopefully.

This just points to a broken score system. That is the bare bones honest truth of the situation. Kids get no recognition, no excitement. Heck many will be in practice or in school, whenever the announcement is made. All the official officials get to "cya" each other. Now you know why so many parents are fed up with paying this insane amount of money for cheer.

And Varsity.com will be able to handle all that traffic at 9 p.m. on Monday evening for free?

I understand the sadness about losing the bid moment... but especially for CHEERSPORT, I think this is a good idea. Getting worlds bids right for that small percentage of the competition is one thing. but getting the summit bids right for almost every level and division isn't going to be easy. ESPECIALLY because CHEERSPORT does 436456352 division splits. there's been uproars on here when small coed A got the paid worlds bid and small coed B didn't or they had a higher score and didn't get the bid etc. etc. I wish they'd stop splitting divisions like they do (reason why I don't rank a cheersport win as highly as NCA/Summit/Worlds. not that the winners aren't great, but when you're one of 3 winners of small senior 2 large gym, it gets ridiculous.)

I think this is extremely fair and applaud them for trying to do something to get it right. it points to a much more serious scoresheet problem and I hope the coaches angry and ranting about the delayed bid are voicing their opinions equally as loud about scoresheets.

PERFORMANCE TIMES BOTH BEFORE 8PM! YAAAS

I have been voicing my opinion on judging scoring issues for many years, As long as I continue to work with cheer programs I will do so, until things are fixed and fair for everyone that competes.

if your post is in response to me, I didn't mean you! Just the random, very active coaches on twitter who seem to be in an uproar. I hope they're also shouting about the reasons why bid announcements need to wait until the next day.

I agree about division splits. I was looking at small coed division I and II and it's....interesting.
