bad for mwah?
In a good humored, light and refreshing kind of way. In this style, and sport, I wonder if the score sheet should be level specific?

BIG PROPS to cheersport for rewarding coed style stunting. If you are a boy you should be holding your stunt, not doing group style. Why? because it is hard. In the next couple years I see this becoming a big push.
I welcome those days back.
Agreed.
In my opinion, I believe that like gymnastics the system should allow for "bonus" points to be added to your score for competing and executing skills beyond the basic requirements.
The other option is to change the system so that in your example Team A and Team B do not both get 20 points for something that is clearly not the same.
I do truly believe that is part of the issue and that it is causing cheerleading to regress instead of progress. It already is happening and does not benefit the sport because teams that push the envelope are going to stop doing it because there is absolutely no reason to do it.
It makes for really boring routines and is taking the "WOW" factor and excitement out of the sport.
You just have to design routines to fit both. Did we create a jump section that meets cheersports requirements as well as NCA's? Does our running tumbling have all the required number of fulls and show off the execution that NCA needs?
While I prefer NCA's, there are pieces to cheersports I like.
kristenthegreat said:I think a lot of people would be less confused if they watched that initial video of Kevin Brubaker (is that how you spell his last name?) having a video demonstration with a team and explaining how they would score (I posted it yesterday in the Cheersport Day 2 thread, towards the last 10 pages or so). It's a good basis for at least understanding the system, and it covers why I think a majority of people were upset with the scoring : If you are NOT competing within-level skills, you are adding nothing to your score. If in level 5 you have: layouts, running/standing to tucks, not-level-5 stunts/pyramid skills you're going to be missing out on a heapload of points. He also mentions on the video that certain basic elements will get you into the range, but to score higher you need more skills.
so does that mean cheersport does not necessarily support the ,,perfection before progression'' rule?
It is that what wins Cheersport is not the same as what wins NCA. They are similar, but different.
