On the flip side, how do you feel when your gym pulls out of a competition on short notice? We were to travel about two hours out of town to compete, as per the schedule we received last June. However, a few weeks ago the gym emailed everyone to say we wouldn't be going. Not because of injuries, a change in venue, anything like that. It was because it's spring break here, and too many families said they couldn't go. I'm a little disappointed we're not going, but I'm more irritated because people knew about the date for this comp months ago, yet still chose to make vacation plans for the same date...whereas other people skipped spring break plans to attend the comp.
Yes, that would tick me off too. I skipped our family vacation this year due to the cheer schedule. It comes out in early December-- if you can't at least give notice a month ahead that there are extreme reasons why you can't attend, you should be expected to attend all comps. As far as extreme reasons with advance notice, I consider that family wedding, other religious ceremony, something of that magnitude. I realize that there are circumstances where people get really ill, there's a death in the family, etc. but that shouldn't require canceling a comp as it would just be one person.
