All-Star Reach The Beach Worlds Bids [4/5 - 4/7] - Ocean City, Md

as a mom of a competing international daughter (AL bid, not one of the paid teams) I was happy they let us IO teams even have the opportunity to get a paid. I don"t think any other comp did that. congrats to Spirit and SE

There are actually a lot of competitions that do it now. But everyone is on the same score sheet and there are usually more higj caliber sr teams than intl.

They were good but I just don't think it's right that teams with multiple falls and busts can get bids over teams that are really good and hit.

But I am happy for the teams that got bids cuz some of my friends are on one of the teams.

IO5 maybe, but very rarely are level 6 teams eligible.

Yea, i meant IO5, sorry. There are actually very few companies that DON'T allow level 5 international to take home a paid bid.

As an IO athlete who is paying her way to compete at worlds for the third time, I wish more comps did--I would actually still have a savings account. But when using a scoresheet that makes scoring SO different, it's hard to compare scores across divisions. I don't think it's fair to go by scores when it ranges so drastically.

They used the worlds scoresheet. So it is extremely difficult to compare division to division. International weights stunting so much more than senior (as everyone knows). International also weights overall choregoraphy with more total points than senior does as well. Based on Saturdays scores, either of the teams that had paid bids could have had an additional 20 points in deductions, which is more than 6 stunt falls or tumbling busts and 2 bobbles or touch downs and still walked away with a paid bid.

Also, the judges didn't seem to know how to use the scoresheets. Which is the biggest issue of all. When you have judges who are using a scoresheet that has no rubric and haven't judged on it previously, there will be issues.

I will use a very specific example of something that was inconsistent in synchronized tumbling.
Team A - 13 team members

• 7 athletes go. 4 athletes throw roundoff handspring fulls, and 3 throw layouts
• 2 athletes do front walkover through to full
• 2 athletes do front walkover through to full

Team B- 22 athletes

• 3 athletes go. 2 throw roundoff handspring full, 1 throws a layout
• 2 athletes throw roundoff handspring tuck.

Team A scored a 1.5/10 on day 1 in sync and a 1.0/10 day 2 in sync
Team B scored a 2.5/10 both days in sync.

To me, there is no way to justify that. Team A threw majority in-level sync passes (8/13). Team B threw barely any (2/22) in-level sync passes.

Another thing I heard from this competition. A coach was told by the score rep that their pyramid was amazing and there was almost nothing they could do to improve it, yet scored only just over 50% of the possible difficulty points.

I am looking for help or clarification on this exact topic. We have been on the worlds scoresheet 2 times this season and you should see the major differences in the two sheets as far as numbers are concerned. In some categories we went down by 50% when the EXACT same sequence was performed. In other areas we went up. My head is spinning as to why such a huge difference????? Looking for feed back :)

Do not try to compare scores on the worlds score sheet because there is no rubric and companies interpret how to use it in their own.

Also don't think that is how you will score at worlds. It will be extremely different.
