All-Star You All Knew This Was Coming!

Don't forget Tsunami! They have SO many creative transitions! Most of the standing tumbling is one to fulls! They do full team opposite leg full up tick tocks! Full team high to high tick tocks! Many high well executed doubles in running tumbling! Also many specialty passes in running! A creative pyramid with MANY level 5 elements! They WORK the dance! And lets be honest, who doesn't love their day two uniforms? ;)

Didnt forget... just didn't include
Also, i thought they did full up (1/2 up 1/2 turn) opposite, then low to high stretch stretch?

While I do believe that Rich was a little biased towards SE, what he is saying is right, minus the fact that I think their dance is great! But no matter what team you stand behind, doesn't mean you can't enjoy something else becuase another team does it. This whole "F5 and WCSS have better dances/blahblah SE cant dance/blahblah" is all crap. All 3 dances are greatly done, and performed to their best. I am a SE fan, and I love watching the others dance. Its not about liking it at all with some people, its about who is doing it. If Stars or F5 did SE's dance, I'm sure some of you would like OMG I LOVE THEIR DANCE, THEY WORK IT SO WELL, and all that hubblub. So don't judge something by what team does it.

For Worlds: Its going to be who hits, and thats that. While I would like to I sit here and say SE will win, I can't because SS and F5 are right behind them, and any mistake will cost the top spot to anyone in this division.

the thing is, dancing really isn't their forte. i can't get into their dance like i can get into f5 or wcss'. i probably speak for a lot of people too. i didn't see anything wrong with his original post. When saying they are all the same from last year, obviously there isn't anything wrong with their transitions because they did win worlds with them didn't they?

Luckily for Senior Elite, there isn't a "Getting into it" category on the dance portion of the scoresheet. Just Execution and Difficulty. I can, however, see how one could argue that the inability for the judges "get into" one's dance can affect the team's execution score. And personally, I just don't see the need in incorporating last year's routine into the original post. Seems irrelevant.

I really don't mean to sound fastidious, at this point I'm just arguing for argument's sake.

I just want to know why Rich is constantly hating on Koolaid ALL THE TIME..grape kool-aid is delicious. Just because you were denied it as a child doesn't mean it isn't YUMTASTIC..

On topic: numbers are all well and good (no, really, they are!)..but I'm taking season record into account when I make my predictions. While anything is game for anyone, I do think some of the seasons highlights/lowlights can be pretty good indicators of how things will turn out, and how they've turned out previously. I'm intrigued by Spice, most of all. They throw an interesting dynamic into the mix that could REALLY shake things up if execution isn't picture-perfect.

Tsunami beat F5 at Worlds prelims 2010.

prelims is irrelevant and you're grasping at straws. should we start judging who has the best warmups too?

Personally, Grape ANYTHING is my favorite. I just hate on the blue raspberry / Teal kool-aid. 3 years ago I wouldn't have been having this discussion with any of you about CEA. Then all of a sudden they get better and everyone drinks the kool-aid and is die-hard. Not saying that no one should be a fan of them. Just it seems like almost overnight, everyone took a sip.... or drank a pitcher.

Okay I have a question for everyone and I am not trying to start anything I just honestly want opinions on it. Also try to keep the arguing under control. Haha

Okay so shooting stars has 9 stunt groups that go up, but only 8 of them do tick tocks (and I don't imagine this changing because the last bunch of competitions the same group has faked the tick tock). Would this count the same as just having 8 stunt groups go up with all of them doing tick tocks? Basically I am asking if these disguises work on judges.

I think it is an interesting point to bring up since we are talking about CEA disguising tumbling, because WC is kind of doing the same here.

and the fake bow-n-arrow....which I know you call it something else rich, but it's still meant to fool the judges since all the others have it.

Yeah, great idea! :rolleyes:

 

[xtremeteal4life]

not to step on your toes, but wouldnt shooting stars till own the "throne" since they won three times. Im confused as to who owns the thrown lol. Is it the most recent or the longest reigning?

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that I'm pretty sure the person who currently holds the title...last I checked for instance, Queen Elizabeth was still the queen of England. ;)

 

[blunchin]

Yeah, great idea! :rolleyes:

the GREATest idea

Grape kool-aid is probably the single best thing ever invented. Besides Instant Mashed Potatoes.

Realistically, I've always had a special spot for teal..it's just a bigger spot in the large-senior scope now that my beloved Panthers are small :( It was like Courtney said (I think last year) about which is your favorite Disney princess. And if WCSS is Cinderella and SE is Belle, Belle is my Disney Princess. I don't know who F5/Panthers (when they were large) would be, I've kinda always thought of Panthers as Jasmine. F5 maybe gets Sleeping Beauty?

I just don't understand where CEA gets all there points...it doesn't make sense to me!

I think a lot of their rising popularity really had a large part to do with 2by2video. I think the fans feel more connected to the athletes on Senior Elite and feel as if they are almost a part of the team--thanks largely to Jay Noah. But that's a WHOLE other topic.

Wait ... Why didn't Maddie full up to scorp in that exhibition video ... Did I miss something ?
