New Rules

[Alicia Slavin]

As you all know, USASF has made some new rules: 30 second floor entry and exit, boasting behavior like the excessive celebration, and 12 am curfew at Worlds. What do you think of these new rules?
Some cheerleaders think that these rules are ruining the cheer world, but what we all need to understand is that they are made to help the cheer world. We all should try to accept these new rules. I at they are do believe they are there to help all cheerleaders.

To be honest, I hate the rules. I understand they are meant to move the industry towards a more "professional and official" direction, but I saw nothing wrong with the cheer world a couple of years ago (2010, 2011, etc.) . I can understand them trying to control the behavior of the athletes (i.e the worlds after party), but they have made too many drastic rules too quickly. Everything changed so fast and I think people are upset and shocked that everything they knew before has changed so dramatically. IMO, these new rules are taking some of the fun out of our sport.

Cheer4life654 I do agree that they did make those rules too fast and i didn't see anything wrong with the rules before either. Is there a rule about sportsmanship and if other teams show bad sportsmanship they get points deducted? Someone said there was but i'm not sure.
