so if 2 teams get the exact same scores, in everything technique, difficulty and execution, and they are tied for first and one happens to be from a BIG name gym and the other from a not as well known gym, and the head judge has to decide who gets first and who gets second. who do you think he is going to choose? the team that brought 26 others teams to the competition or the team that maybe only brought 2 other teams? no one would ever admit it but he would never want to risk losing that gym as a customer. It's sad but true that this sport is a lot about politics and money and who you know.
