UCA is "the old boys club". If your college coach was UCA staff, you're "in", if your coach wasn't-you're "out". Those "in" coaches get the inside scoop of what they are looking for. UCA is a "home grown" organization. You can only judge for them if you were a UCA staffer, those judges only give the scoop to their staffer buddies. It's how it works.
I love the UCA style for school cheer, but I don't love how the system works. Like you've pointed out, there isn't a published rubric of what is in the top, middle and low range for each skill-so how do you know how to max out?
I talked with Andy and a couple people on the team at Epcot on Sunday and apparently the score sheet said something about their rewinds, and they do not do rewinds in their routine. I think this is hte situation you are talking about.
Judging consistency definitely wasnt there. For partner stunts my group placed 5th (we didnt hit a very good routine at all) but 1 judge scored us a 94 (3 points above 1st place average) and another scored us in 90's, then we had a judge score us an 81, our average ended up being 87 I think, and we didnt hit a very good routine, and the other group that got 4th and hit a great routine only scored .05 or so above us. And their routine wasnt much different than their tape and the score sheets for their tape told them great variety, then the score sheets from the weekend said not enough variety.
and all their scores were erased and rewritten.
Haha Justin, since we didn't win I was sure happy your favs won!!!! :) they're sickThis is cheer BUT Memphis hip hop totally killed it!

what did you disagree with? who did you think should of placed better in d1a
Here's a nice video:
Kentucky's 2011 routine. You definitely see a better glance at the bobbles and tumbling falls.
UofK bobbled last year in an elite stunt and it was very noticeable, yet they still came out on top.i really don't get why everyone is saying UK got robbed. UCA values hitting, and cleanliness. A team with a tumbling bust and bobbles is not going to (and shouldn't) beat a team that hits clean. Even though their routine had more difficulty, they didn't hit it as well as bama did. It'a all about the scoresheet
