Oh Canada

Agreed. Coaching level 4 I just stare at it because I cannot figure out what a 2 skill dismount from 2 legs is..maybe I'm slow?

One thing I have seen some L4 teams do is a stretch kick-full dismount?

That was about the only thing I could think of. I've opted just to not get a check mark in that box for this year!

So I'm reviving this thread... :D
Any idea on which canadian teams/gyms are vying for worlds bids this season? It seems every year there are more and more Canadian teams at worlds (those who were present at ICU worlds this year for the team Canada performances can testify that the HP field house was PACKED with Canadian athletes and supporters!!)

Here's what I know so far (correct me if I'm wrong, and add to the list if you can!):
Flyers All-Starz
IOAG5 , IOC6, IOAG6 , SR5
CheerSport Sharks
IOAG5, IOAG6, IOC6, SR5 (?)
PCT Cobras
IOC5, IOAG6, IOC6 (?)
Cheerforce Wolfpack
IOAG5
Black Widow
IOAG5
Vancouver All stars
IOAG5, ?
CheerMotion
IOC6, IOAG5
Mystic All stars
IOC5
RND elite
IOC5, IOAG5, SR5
Perfect Storm
IOC6, IOAG6
Infinity All stars
IOC5, IOAG5 (?)
Extreme Diamonds
IOAG5
North Shore Extreme/Laval Cheer force stars fusion
IOAG5

I believe Cheerforce is sending an Open Coed 6

A double down...when you read the score sheets, think the technical wording for them, not the most common example. Only listing the most common used example will often limit creativity and make all the skills look the same in routines.

 

[championprincess]

For the life of me, I can't figure out why the Cheer Canada score sheets insist on a 2 trick double and a 1 trick double.

Why do you feel like you are required to do both? The 2 trick double just has a higher start value.

There are separate boxes for double downs, in level 4 dismounts:
http://cms.cheercanada.net/images/pdf/2013scoresheets/cheercanada2013allstarlevels1-6buildingskills.pdf

Therefore by saying "1 skill dismount from 1 leg (no twist) OR 2 skill dismount from 2 legs (up to one twist)" I believe they are implying transitionary/creative elements OTHER than the typical twist from 1 leg & double from 2.

 

[FA_pinknation]

Why do you feel like you are required to do both? The 2 trick double just has a higher start value.

It is pretty much impossible to max out difficulty in level 5 tosses (ie 10/10) in the cheer canada scoresheets unless you do both a 1 trick to double and a 2 trick to double at "ALL".
Unless you have 1 trick double at "ALL" and a combination of other baskets (including some 1 trick doubles, 2 trick singles and 2 trick doubles )at "MAJ" and "LTM" throughout your routine.

PCT does not have an IOC 6. Many of last year's athletes are on Cheer Sport California Sharks this year.

Do they have an IOAG5 instead?
