All-Star Uca Nov 17

This. it'also quite rude for athletes from a rival gym to hang out in priority seating in front of parents from the team that is on the stage, and openly criticize the team on the floor.

Exactly! We're known to be in priority seating for "rival" gyms (which can sometimes get the hairy eyeball from their own fans that don't know us), but that's because we know a kid on that team and we're cheering them on. We know even more kids in more programs now (CEA, Charlotte Extreme, White Lightning, CAS, CSA, Elite Cheer and Dance) and we're not at all averse to walking into priority seating with their gym family to scream a lung up for them. In the end this is about kids....not the color uniform they're wearing. But, if you're sitting there "acting" like you're supporting people when you're really just being judgmental or stalker-ish...get a move on. Drives me nuts.

See, a big part of the priority seating at this competition was that there really wasn't any 'defined' as such. It was the poor Greensboro Coliseum workers trying to police the area that didn't have any signage or in/out traffic flow. Just really poorly planned by UCA, and quite frankly, a major disappointment.
