I think we all need to take a breath and realize that no one here is bashing Gym Tyme, in any way. Everyone here has commented on how much they respect GT, and what an innovative skill/routine they have. I fully believe that even without the skill in question, they would have earned the paid bid at WSF.
What everyone is discussing here, is how this rule (and many others) can be interpreted in many different ways. What one person would consider illegal based on the rule as it is written, another may see as legal. Whenever someone does something innovative, there will always be a legality question. The issue at hand in this situation is HOW that decision was rendered. At first it was legal, then it was illegal, finally it was ruled legal. However, as pointed out above, at the next competition GT goes to-they are at the mercy of that judging panel again....which will probably involve another call to Les.
To be taken seriously, cheer needs to have rules that are more clearly stated, and a definite process for having a specific skill deemed legal. I adore Kingston's plan for submitting skills videos for review and then having them issued a "ticket" that they can present at competitions to the judging panel before they take the floor, so that everyone is aware that the skill was ruled legal for competition at that specific level.
Also, the idea that the rationale for why a skill is illegal is a fabulous idea! This way coaches, choreographers, athletes and parents understand WHY a skill is illegal. ie: knee drops when done repeatedly can cause injury to your ligaments and meniscus, prone landings put you at higher risk for rib and internal organ injuries. When we are educated, there are less likely to be major injuries and our sport becomes safer and more well respected.
