It's so nice to see so many routines hitting down there. The athletes have got to be excited about ending their seasons that way. I think it is a little "presumptive" to bring Worlds teams into this though. You cannot compare divisions/judging/events. Worlds doesn't even have a "grand champion" because of the different panels of judging and how different the scores are between the divisions.
I knew I was going to see this post come up. Yes, teams are hitting which is fantastic. Keep in mind Worlds is level 5 and level 6 - you can't put a higher level athlete on a team at Worlds. I would say the fact that so many teams are hitting may be a testament to the fact that higher level athletes are on lower level teams just as much if not more than the fact that level appropriate teams are hitting, and I personally don't see that as a positive.
Not only that....but at Worlds 0's were often lost to under rotated tumbling... Imagine if points were being docked for piked layouts, cowboyed tucks and lack of pointed toes/straight legs on walkovers...
Last night, it was one of the last awards and it was for LY3. All but one team felt they were obligated to attend the reveal. There should be sportsmanship issues handed out for that IMO.
Thank you that's what I figured .
Sorry Small J3 is one of the most competitive divisions at the Summit. There were at least 5 teams we see all year that hit consistently with zero deductions that did not crack the top 10. Sometimes teams are just that good. My daughters team got their bid in December the same 17 girls who won the bid competed at Summit. They made it to day 2.
