I'm not that great at score sheets and what not, so I thought I'd come to the boards and ask all you cheer gurus! I had a little debate with some cheer friends last night and needless to say, we did not agree with each other. So here are two jump sequence senarios and I wanna know your opinions on if one would score higher or is it just excessive and just makes no sense!
Sequence One: Toe Touch - Right Hurdle - Toe Touch - Back Tuck - Immediate Toe Touch - 2 Back Hand Springs To Fulls & Doubles.
Sequence Two: Pike - Left Hurdle - Toe Touch - Right Hurdle - Back Tuck (Standard 4 Jumps To Tuck)
I feel like they would score the same. The first sequence seems excessive and would kill your athletes early on for no reason, especially if you already have a separate standing tumbling sequence with two back handsprings to fulls and doubles. Their debate was "more skills equals more points!" They just couldn't see a judge not giving them a higher score if the team did Sequence One in addition to already having a separate standing tumbling section on top of that killer jump sequence.
So would packing all that together on top of having a separate standing section score higher, or would the 4 jumps to tuck and then the normal standing section score better? Opinions?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
