well that would make alot more sense, i didnt think of that hahaWhy not Just a WIKI entry?
Worlds International scoresheets just don't make sense as is. The majority of American all star score sheets appropriate equal amounts of points to both tumbling (running and standing) and building skills (stunts and pyramids) which is what the athletes are trained for. Once graduated the athletes now go to international teams b/c the industry has pretty much done away with regular open teams...a few still exist but everyone wants to be at Worlds so 99.9% just enter international. Unless some unethical rumors I hear about them prove to be true, the people sitting behind desks who have control over these score sheets definitely had other options to choose from to continue making more and more money off of Worlds:
Let i5 reflect the balance that is tumbling and building skills and let i6 have a stunting emphasis (makes sense...those with the complete package have a division and those who feel "disadvantaged" due to tumbling and choreography but find the time to excel at stunting also have a division and teams from the US and other countries can enter either)
Introduce the "Open" division to Worlds and leave International for teams outside the U.S. (it's done in every other division at Worlds anyway and this would certainly entice more US teams into the event with there not being a US preliminary comp)
I personally don't like what they reflect at all...and I encourage all the gym owners and coaches around the country to think about the graduating level 5 kids they have in their program (boys especially) see the current industry trends and instead of quietly sitting back and pondering why things the way they are...speak up and get answers...
I feel like you just had your a-ha moment.
LOL, Similar too
Good. Because wanting to compete with US teams but not allowing them to use what they spend a lot of the time practicing isn't really competing against them.
