All-Star Specialty Tumbling - How Does This Reflect On Score Sheet?

[anythingforcheer]

I'm just a mama and thought I would seek out the experts on here to explain how specialty running tumbling reflects on the scoring at competitions. I have cp's on level 3 and 4 and often wondered does it matter if most of your teams does not do specialty passes as long as the majority of the team performs the required level tumbling, i.e., level 3 - rbhs tuck, level 4, rbhs layout and standing tuck. I always thought that you must have specialty running tumbling to max out the score or difficulty in tumbling, but I'm just a mom, please explain if anyone has the time. Thank you.

The newest trend is squad tumbling skills and large groups of synchronized tumbling. Specialty passes are also expected to be synced now--the more ppl involved the better.

IMO it varies depending on the difficulty of the tumbling pass being thrown and the amount of people throwing them in the sequence. [I'm absolutely not an expert]

I agree with @cupieqt that squad tumbling is now more important than ever. heck it was the difference in the worlds title for panthers. however from my understanding, majority of the team throwing specialty passes are also needed to max out the scores. correct me if im wrong.

Agreed. I wanna see some squad specialty passes!! But those are much harder to synchronize.
If you have squad tumbling and many specialty passes, then you should max out on tumbling scores. For example, squad round-off tucks and then specialty punch through to tucks and front-walk over through to tucks would max out depending on how many of the specialties you have

I look at it this way. If you have majority of the level tumbling skills, then you have to get put in high range on a scoresheet.

Where you place inside of that high range depends on the variety and sync.

If high range is 8-10pt out of 10 on a scoresheet, a level 3 team that does majority RO bhs tucks might get an 8 where as a team that does multiple PF to RO bhs tucks and bhs step outs through to RO bhs tucks might score 9 or higher.

I've always thought of it as 'majority at-level tumbling' and then whatever specialties are will just bonus you up a bit more depending on the amount, if any are synced, and variety/difficulty. However, it depends on the score sheet as well. Aaah cheer lol

But sync tumbling was the reason so many people were shocked by Panthers win. They saw Cali's more specialty passes and said 'Oooh, better tumbling score!' But they had not NEARLY as many synced passes as Panthers, who took two groups of 10 and synced them...plus other synced passes in running tumbling. Sync is the new pink.

Love this! So true

That's what high school has been doing to max points for years... Its not really my thing. But thats just me

UCA High School Nationals have gone to strictly Sync tumbling on their scoresheet. Categories are this:

Group running tumbling 5 pts
Group standing tumbling 5 pts

i think sync is what kept smoed in second too, despite their falls. watching VOD today and realized they had a pretty big group tumbling section.

I'm glad we use all star scoresheets.

I didn't realize the OP was asking about high school. I gave an all-star answer--oops!

Logical assumption, given that this is the all-star forum.

 

[MissBee]

OP is talking all-star, she said her girls are on L3 and L4.

I'm a judge and basically, what @cupieqt said is spot on.
