All-Star Maddies New Stunt?

[StarshipTrooper]

i thought courtney said they did it because duke won and they had nothing to loose.

If SE had been ahead in the judge's scoresheets after Day 1 you would have not seen the stunt. Even with the Day one score SE could have won with the Day 2 performance if they had a little help. To their great credit, SS did not give us any help, and they won. It was not nothing to lose. But, I think Co-ed and SE can and will get better, and I think they both know they have to get better to win.

Again, thanks for all the kind words, Maddie is about done and we will miss the sport.

Is Maddie going to cheer in college?

no im not a judge, or i dont know the scoresheets for every compeiton and every little thing on them. but if just maddie does the stunt, does it really THAT much. i know with jamfest and the whole quantity thing, i dont think it does. but i guess it could be added to overall impression...but does it help THAT much?

The raw score went up significantly I speculate, as did the overall score Day 2. I have not seen them, but to go from a 9.37 for 20% into the 9.5s total required a pretty good score day 2. Her coach makes the call, she thought it helped a little bit.

yes, that is good! i was just wondering! but wasnt it also said that other things were added in too. also, it totally depends on the competition/ scoresheet.

I can tell you this, there was more than that stunt changed that had an effect including a thing that I always thinks adds to scores that is not quantified is the level of energy and athleticism day 1 to day 2. They were flat day 1 and missed some straightforward passes right at the start and I think that really effects impression. I am just not certain about the consistantcy of judging with different panels, and I believe they were different. As many that know more than I say here, there is always a bit of "what" when you look at the sheets.

I love the stunt and I don't think it will get old until I see every team doing it. Also, Maddie is an amazing flyer and executes this flawlessly, she gave me goosebumps when she did it at NCA, I just wish she had done the whole sequence, but I bet she will soon (:

I tell you thanks from her. Timing does not fit whole sequence, it looks awkward with the other stunts. Visual is better.

Yeah, I definitely understand that! Hopefully by worlds some other groups will have it too because I've heard rumors about that (:

yeah, i understand what your saying! i knew that they were better day one! haha, i was just wondering if it made a huge differnce in scoring! thanks for trying to help me understand;D

I think the crowd's energy has something to do with it too. When the crowd is freaking out over something, it's a motivating factor. The ball-up is a crowd favorite, and you can hear the audience scream when it goes up. It makes sense.

 

[cheercurl]

anyone else getting slightly bored with the ball up?

Not when it is Maddie that performs it...
