I've actually been thinking about this over the last 6 months or so, but I was struggling as you don't get any official "stats" for the athletes like you do in other sports (there also isn't a definitive list of athletes as far as I'm aware). Do you penalise all members of a stunt group equally for a bobble/fall? What if one fantasy team has more people with running passes? How do you score difficulty? How do you work put what each player "costs"?
Or you could just have a team in each division, but I'm not sure how much fun that'd be haha.
I might try to think about it a bit more now I've got more time, but those were the things I thought of initially

I was thinking possibly doing it by teams instead of athletes. I haven't really thought about any specifics but I don't think we need another reason to separate certain individuals from others.

What about routine sections? This weekend I'm picking BSB partner stunts, TG baskets blah blahs running tumbling to have zero deductions. Points for placements maybe?
It would be easier if score sheets were all public. Then you could get real numbers.

Ok, to make it work how I'd like it work (which is probably far too complicated), I think we'd need a trial season, and a few people with lots of time on their hands. For simplicity's (so not simple, but far simpler than doing it differently) sake, we use large senior 5 only as the division, as this is (probably still) far smaller than other divisions.
Keep a spreadsheet with rankings for each athlete (this would be far easier if they'd wear numbers on their uniforms...), based on stunt bobbles/falls, tumble touchdowns/busts, jumps (maybe too subjective) and difficulty. Penalise for each deduction, to give a score at the end of the season based on overall performance for each athlete for each category (potentially stunts, running tumbling, standing tumbling), which can be weighted if necessary. Then each athlete's score is what they "cost" to put on your fantasy lgsr 5, and you start the season with x amount of "money".
In the first season of actually running the fantasy league, each athlete's score will change after each competition, and they can be "bought" or "sold" at their current "price". The fantasy team with the most "money" or fewest points (or combination of, haven't quite thought this part through yet) at the end of the season wins.
To anyone who made it through reading that whole post without getting fed up of parentheses and quotation marks, you have more patience than me!
Unfortunately I don't really think this is feasible though (and there will probably be lots of people who disagree with it because it could further the "cheerlebrity" phenomenon).

We actually did this with our staff last season and we're going to do it again this season. A few months into the season we had our "fantasy draft" where coaches picked 2 teams and 2 athletes. Teams earned points based on placements at competitions and number of teams beat. They earned bonus points on things such as 0 deduction routines, specialty awards (choreography, best stunt, etc), and grand champions. They lost points based on deductions, severity of deductions and lost shoes and lost bows.
Athletes were given points based on individual standing and running tumbling skills they threw in a routine (specialty passes v. average level pass) or no points if they didn't throw a pass for their level. They lost points based off of deductions and lost bows and shoes as well.
It was a lot of fun for us as a staff. It helped our staff become invested in teams beyond their own team(s) and athletes they coached. I know I found myself in warm-ups with my fantasy teams double checking shoes and bows at each competition...

That actually sounds like so much fun
