Yeah, I honestly forgot about BATC.
I will say this, and it's directed towards everyone in the thread. There is no rule that states because you have a favorite, you can't enjoy another team. That is why every single thread about this division comes to an all out attack on each other. If you're a SE fan, there's no reason why you can't respect, enjoy, acknowledge the talent of WCSS or their fans and vice versa. Being a fan of one, doesn't give you the right to diminish any other team in the division (and not just the Big3). I will speak (type?) honestly. I did not enjoy WCSS 3 wins at Worlds. Not because I hated the team, but because the fandom made it impossible. No one was allowed to compliment any other team in the division without someone coming on and stating how WCSS was all there was. Last year, I was very happy for SE. I was one of the fans cheering when they were announced at Worlds. However, I'm getting the same feeling as I had with Stars. Fans shouldn't make this less enjoyable. Don't get me wrong. Passion is an amazing thing. It's something that should be encouraged, and I know the teams feed off of it. But, belittling someone else's team, pick, favorite ect because you have your rose-colored glasses on, is not even remotely enjoyable. I enjoy all the teams and respect the talent and athleticism. Do I want my favorite to win, absolutely. Will I agree to disagree with others, absolutely. But no one should ever lower themselves to the behavior that has historically been exhibited in these types of threads.
I'm sorry if it seems a little preachy...but I am so tired of the unintentional/intentional swipes people are taking at each other.

I given accolades when accolades were due..I was one of the few who openly expressed sympathy for the stars when they looked defeated at that one comp (stars, F5, CEA, and FCA were all present) and I've given many positive shout outs to F5 bc they've looked so good all year. Very talented girls

That is my big thing and the reason I tend to shy away from threads that deal with this division because it seems like it is more so those outside the gym who are just fans that tend to make people think badly about the gym. All three teams are amazing, but it seems like even though the athletes can get along it seems like the fans can't co-exist without getting mad the focus isn't on them. Take a step back and realize that even if you aren't part of the program your words are being used to represent your favorite team or gym, it shouldn't be that way but in reality that is how it works out.
I thank Rich for doing the breakdown because I thought it was a good representation of how they match up going into worlds on a scoresheet they haven't competed on all season. They all have so much talent and if they all hit I would hate to be the judges. Someone will always be mad because their favorite team didn't win but the truth is it isn't the end of the world. Goodluck to all teams competeing at worlds and I can't wait to sit at home on my computer and wait for updates since I can't be there.
In my perfect world F5 would pull out the win, but I can't say that will for sure happen. Whoever wins though should be proud of their accomplishments and those that don't should still be proud that they are recognized as some of the best teams and athletes in the world.

I personally think that F5 will take the crown. Their standing tumbling is insane. Toe touch 2 to fulls and 2 to whip doubles. First a toe touch then hurdler toe touch pike back. 9 groups in the main stunt sequence- 4 low highs and 5 high highs. No doubt about it they have probably the best running tumbling in the division. 9 switch kick double baskets, they also have 2 pikes and a toe touch. They also put another stunt up after the tumbling pass with 9 groups. The pyramid has many great, creative elements in it; I couldn't name them all. And the dance, do I have to say anything?:) And this isn't because it's my gym.
And who knows what their routine will be like for Worlds...;)

I have to agree, but there are 9 switch kick doubles in F5's routine.

I took a closer look, your right it's not a full up but like you said a half up half turn. Afterwards it is low to high stretch to strech. Front groups bump down and do a 1 1/4 ball to a split type of a thing, while back groups do an inversion from a front stretch. Then the high to high lib to scorp scale double.

Would it not be a hoot if one of these teams just busted out a brand new routine, one they just learned. Now that would be exciting.
