Im gonna have to disagree with you. DIFFICULTY. Even if a team does drop and win they still have the difficulty to push them through and its completely fair considering they do harder skills then the opposing team. Hitting is a very important part of a teams routine but so is difficulty. if it was based on keeping your stunts in the air people would be doing straight up libs every year.Don't agree with the large coed outcome. If you drop it should be a done deal that you will not walk away champion. And I would say that for any team....

THIS is the problem with cheer! After watching nearly 18 hours of cheer this weekend across all levels I think the mentality of throw it in the air and pray it sticks needs to stop being rewarded. People were talking about the lack of energy in the halls. I think that a lot of it was due to either people holding their breaths waiting to see if anyone gets hurt or were so underwhelmed by shaky performances that there was nothing to cheer about. Again, this was across ALL levels, not just the beloved 5.

never did i say that a team should throw difficult skills that they are not ready for. difficulty is not the problem with cheer because if it was that would also be a problem in gymnastics. Gymnast do hard skills all the time but they are executed well also. A combination of both is what we need. We should focus on cleaning the hard skills rather than saying they are not ready for them and they shouldn't do them. the problem with cheer is not the skills the athletes are throwing the problem is the lack of professionalism and structure in the sport.
You completely missed my point. I was saying that in gymnastics difficult skills are executed well the majority of the time as in cheerleading difficult skills are rarely executed well if at all. BUT instead of persecuting teams on how they need to do easier skills persecute teams on how they need to clean up their difficult skills because yes a team with clean easy skills is solid but a team with clean difficult skills is even better.Actually the difficulty versus artistry is a pretty big debate in the gymnastics world right now. That is why American gymnasts with European lines (such as Kyla Ross) are so highly valued by Marta. International judges prefer the leaner, longer body type over the compact, muscular body type even though it is less conducive to throwing big skills.
