When competing at lets just say NCA, do you think the judges score higher towards the end of a division or if the first one goes and Is amazing, does that set the bar? Where would you like to compete the first day?

Then they'll have no place to go with the scoring...
I cried last year when I found out we were going second at worlds...lets just say it didn't turn out well for us and definitely did not give us any advantages thats for sure!!I stress over this sometimes because I know judges will leave wiggle room if it's a large division. Since we can't really control when we go I just tell my kids you have to make them say "THiS team is fierce and they should be in first". If we set the bar high to start or clean up at the end, either way they have to shock and awe the judges for those high scores.
MissBee how do you handle scoring when you have a large group?

I don't know but I wish someone did...I would like to know whether we would have scored higher if we had gone later in the day, We got third as UCA and had teams in the finals that we had beaten before and I'd like to stay in my own little world of thinking that us getting like 50 something place was just a fluke...I would've cried too. I wonder if anyone has any stats on team performance order vs results.
Ok looked at the schedule and like the third team to go had a semi-high score and then they kinda went back down again and eventually got to the point where it was like every other one would be high depending on the team of course so idk. I just don't generally think going first at worlds isnt very desirable.I would've cried too. I wonder if anyone has any stats on team performance order vs results.
