All-Star The Majors 2013

[worldchampME]

most ridiculous competition i've ever heard of...all I think about when I hear Jamfest Majors is $$$$$$$. ...meh

I would compete without the prize! It was such an amazing experience!

There were MANY positives to the competition from what I've heard from those that participated. The unfortunate thing is the outcome of the "award". I hope they can pull it together and pull it off again.

Stars were invited but are not going

I almost hope the teams who gets invited say they won't go. Jamfest can't get away with breaking all of their promises like that. And without the paid trip to Europe, I honestly see no point in this competition.

its still a competition against some top teams.. i think they can come up with a better prize that will still make going worth it, otherwise they're very stupid. all that to say, if there is not a paid trip to Europe, im sure they'll make the gyms invited see some kind of point in going.

I'm sure they could come up with another great prize. But even if they do, I don't think it's right for them to just get away with what they pulled. There has to be some sort of consequence and the only way that seems possible is for the teams that competed last year to not give them their business again.

i agree, and i think that because of last year they definitely wont get the same teams as last year. hopefully this year they try to overcompensate for last years error in prizing and really rebuild themselves this year with the winners

Why waste the money time to go here when you could go to another comp where you could actually get a bid to Worlds?

I hope the teams who receive/d invitations DO attend. Even though it was hectic with some issues..i.e waiting in line for hours upon hours for an entry ticket, that does not mean you have a place to sit...it was a first year event .. It was a really cool experience for the athletes I coach, to get to watch and enjoy. Not everyone gets the chance to see such high caliber athletes/teams performing at the same location. I wouldn't mind being individually announced in front of hundreds of people screaming and applauding for me. What an honor.


I feel like everyone is always saying worlds/varsity is all about money, if you don't support another brand(Jambrand) who is trying to make head way into this 'World Championships' competition, then do not complain about Varsity/Worlds being a rip off. *Not saying anyone is complaining, just knowledge from previous threads when Money and Worlds are brought up*
This in a way, is Jamfest's own little 'Worlds'. To me it seems that Jamfest is hoping that 'The Majors' grows a prestigious recognition among the Cheer World. And eventually become a front runner in a 'World Championship' competition.

Everything you said is true, but I think most people are having issues with how they handled the prizes last year. Teams would be spending a lot of extra money to attend this competition, and this year is like a game of chance. Who knows if Jamfest will actually keep their word about the prizes this year, as they did not last year.

I just don't understand why these teams wouldn't compete at Jamfest Supernationals instead of The Majors if they are going to spend the money to travel out there anyways, since teams weren't allowed to compete in both (i'm assuming it's the same this year).
-Competitive divisions at Jamfest Supernationals? Check
-Actual prize? Check
-Experience of competing in Indianapolis? Check

For some reason I'm getting the "no Top Gun" vibe from some things posted on Twitter. Not saying it's the truth, could be me just reading too much into it.

I saw a TG athlete post that they didn't get invited. Maybe not confirmed but that's a little more than a vibe.

I read on twitter from a CA athlete that Cheetahs was invited again and the team voted on whether or not they wanted to go, but I never heard the outcome.

What was the prize they didn't follow through with, The Europe trip? I didn't know Jamfest didn't follow through with the prize... that's a bit deceiving.
