[Rudags]

Anyone else all for 25 point deductions for Worlds 2012? I am!

i just want teams to actually get deducted and not win for BS reasons.

Its really easy for judges to blink when someone steps out of bounds.....

very simple...do like they do in gymnastics and have line judges that raise a flag during the performance and the head judge automatically deducts

 

[lolsmileyface_backAGAIN]

or when a judge does not recognize illegalities...

judge 1: " ehh i dont know whether that was illegal or not? "
judge 2: " well idk either, i did not see a single thing, i was looking at the cool backdrop "
judge 1: " lets just give the max points, because it looked pretty cool "
judge 2: " sounds good! , wait should we contact the head person of cheerleading rules to find out instead? "
judge 1: " well before he let stuff go and said they would only receive a small deduction, so lets not bother him. "
judge 2: " yeah, its good to let things slide by when theres a small language barrier "
judge 1: " wait, who was judging the rest of that routine? "
judge 2: " hmm, neither of us!, lets just score them like a high ranking team did, they prob were just as good "
judge 1: " great idea! "

i wouldnt be surprised if some of this conversation has happened before between the people we call our "judges" !

This is basically what is done at Worlds.

I think they should have judges panels on each side of the mat and the front. This way they can see those fake fulls or those that don't even do a standing back tuck!

I really dont think this is an issue at Worlds - at least not one of the bigger issues.

they apparently blink when teams drop stunts too....

i have to agree with you. if you have one stunt drop but the rest of the routine is flawless then okay, but there were more then just one little drop and okay routines.

Judges arent dumb or easily fooled. They see those fakes, now wether they score the team accordingly is another story.

so why are there no line judges on the floor at every corner?
I watched a team that I can't remember the name of right now and the guy walked off of the floor and went back on at the back of the floor. Also, another major team in small senior had two girls step out of bounds after their tumbling, and a 0.something deduction does not account for two out of bounds.

The line judge at the Milk House was sleeping

out of bounds never gets brought up. i believe its now getting brought up cause the fan favorite didnt win...

Is it easy for them to blink for an entire routine so that they don't see illegal elements?

I didn't think out of bounds was that big of an issue at worlds. It was stated that it would not be called until they stepped completely on the green. From the VOD I didn't see anyone do that except for I believe Georgia Semi Coed. Maybe I am missing something though.
