All-Star If You Were The Judge

[cheerinfo]

Probably due to my part time job...but I cannot help but watch EVERY routine and look for legality violations. It drives me nuts sometimes...but that is what my eye is looking for I have found. Other than that...I love to see clean, quick transitions and good synchro in tumbling and jumps. Love when timing is impeccable in those areas.

like cheersdominique said, tumbling technique. I cannot tell you how many times I have stopped watching cheerleading routines because of bad technique. I can understand the odd slightly bent legs in a standing pass to full, or a bit of under-rotation if you've stepped out of a skill (punch front, arabian, 1 1/2, etc.) and have lost all motivation, but some of these teams that I watch are TRAGIC when it comes to tumbling technique. I won't call out specific teams, not that I have an issue with it, it's been said on the 2012 Videos thread, but there is a team this year that is considered one of the top 4 or 5 teams in a rather large division that does not compete a single fully rotated, straight legged double, and yet throws 11 or 12, maybe more, "doubles".

i think i know who you are talking about... lol :rolleyes:

i would look for tight tight tight, no looseness. and completely finished the skill in the air and then coming down. in tumbling i would look for sloppyness

You don't have to look for the mistakes....They'll jump out and grab ya. That's why a clean routine scores so well--it's easy to read!

When I'm judging, I look at whichever score sheet area I have (Builidng Skills & Tosses, Jumps & Tumbling, or Choreography) and pretty much blank out on whatever I'm not actually scoring. But as a spectator, thats a whole other ball game.
