Hi Ellen! Thank you so much! Honestly, we had no problems at all with the judging the previous times with CT. I thought the results were spot on. And Karen from CT is great. Our issue was mainly the warm up area. CT has a very different idea on how that should be run and it does not work for us to be bumped around every time we competed with them even after we asked who we followed. My kids have a very structured warm up....warm up is not practice but it is a familiar routine we follow, so being bumped every time was not a good experience for us. We also had a horrible experience with another organization's spectators and frankly we are not accustomed to that level of rudeness. I am not going to have our kids subjected to some real nastiness. I know its with all organizations but I work very hard to educate my cheerleaders and their parents on sportsmanship and politeness, which especially in Reading seem to have disappeared in some adults we encountered. (Amazingly, the kids and coaches from those teams were great).
And finally, I love all your teams. They are so exciting and talented. I just know they will go far. Unfortunately for us, our bid chances for this season are over. But hopefully, one day, you will see that we received one and then you can say you knew us when....:)
