All-Star Competitions?!?

What makes one competition company better than another?

I know a lot of you are from the BIG gyms that we know and LOVE! We are from a smaller gym in lowly ole Michigan where only a few understand the joy and insanity that is competitive cheer.

So....there are some big companies/comps around here but I've seen some pretty small ones too there seem to be so many options I just wonder how/why some gyms pick certain comps and not others.

Just curious :) :)

For us its about costs, judging, score sheets, and the comp running among other things. Distance also plays a factor.

There is already a thread on what makes an event the best.

When I coached we looked at scoresheets, cost and level of competition. One year my rec team went to Virginia Beach for US Finals just because that location historically had the most rec teams. We competed against 13 teams there instead of being the only team in that division had we done the one in Columbus.

We went to one competition last year because of the score sheet. I think a lot of teams do that, too.

I think I was looking more for naming events -- such as I really like ABCs events because their score sheets seem to be fair - I really don't like DEFs events because they tend to be too small... but now that I say that I'm not sure if people would really want to "call out" things like that.

I would MUCH RATHER do that than go against one team..I hate those kind of comps!
