Observations After a Weekend Without a Cheerleading Event

April 10, 2014 By Spirit Company

Last weekend was my first weekend since New Years without a cheerleading event, so I decided to go to one of my favorite events, the Final Four. My team didn’t win, but it was still a great trip and event. It was good for me to step away from cheerleading for a minute to see another sport’s championship to see if they do anything we should be doing. Once I get my thoughts organized I’ll let you know.

The Summit LogoThe final bid events are this weekend. Good luck to the cheer and dance teams going for bids at One Up and the dance teams going for bids at American Championships.

The April edition of USASF eNews was sent last week. Please take a minute to read it as it has some great information about Worlds and submitting a rules suggestion for the 2015-17 cycle.

Varsity All Star posted The Summit FAQ, which is useful for anyone going to Orlando.

The USASF Worlds Performance Order Drawing was held earlier this week. Videos of the draw are on USASF.net.

Varsity All Star Scoring for 2011-12

June 21, 2011 By Spirit Company

Varsity LogoVarsity All Star’s 2011-12 scoring system is now available. This system is used by most Varsity event producers, with All Star Challenge being the notable exception. We’ll publish our thoughts on the changes later, but here are some of the changes mentioned by Varsity:

  • All 2-Day events using the Varsity Scoring System will be weighted 25% for Day 1 and 75% for Day 2.
  • All events using the Varsity Scoring System will weigh score sheet sections the same:
    • 40% – Building (Stunts, Pyramids, and Tosses)
    • 30% – Tumbling (Standing, Running, and Jumps)
    • 20% – Overall Routine (Motions/Dance, Formations/Transitions, and Performance)
    • 10% – Creativity (Routine and Skill)
  • Tumbling Deductions have been reduced to .25 for a Bobble and .50 for a Fall. (Last season was .50 for a Bobble and 1.00 for a Fall)
  • Event Producers will still be able to choose between Panel and Category judging
  • Final Score and Perfection Percent will be published online.
