Today I competed with my high school team at a competition run by the infamous cheer tech/spirit brands. It was really small and since it's still early in the season, the comp was majority rec and school teams. As I'm sitting there watching, they announce an IOC 5 all star team. I got excited to watch a level 5 team as a break from the school teams. As the team began to perform, my jaw dropped, and not in a good way. Their stunts consisted of straight up extensions and their tumbling was roundoffs from corners. They had a level 4 pyramid at most. The point of this story is....what could allow this team to enter as level 5 in any competition? What was the coach thinking making them level 5? It's dangerous and just appalling, it's very poor coaching. Then it made me think, is it because there's no other division for ages 17+ kids? There is open 4 but this team would be level 1. The competition then proceeded to give them a banner which said "level 5 champion". Can someone explain how this can happen? I'm just in shock
