HUH ?

I am still floored that the competition runs late into the night.  I swear there was another post about nationals where someone metioned the idea of Jamz going way to late.  Another person got mad and said they did this last year.  Well, it looks to me like they are heading in that direction.  WOOP. I hate late competitions.

I don't really understand why they don't divide it up in a more rational way. Do all the youth/rec, then maybe schools, then dance, then AS cheer. Or whatever, but just group them together. The way JAMZ does it (youth 2, then senior 4, then junior hip hop, then middle school novice, then mini 1, etc) drives me bonkers. There's just no rhyme or reason to how it's organized.

I am not quite sure which schedule you are looking at... here is a link to the schedule for the JAMZ DAVIS COMPETITION - http://jamz.com/pdf/200708_Champ_Davis_Schedule.pdf 
You had me scared that i was looking at the wrong competition schedule until i checked the website. I have two daughters and it would have been horrible if i showed up at the wrong times!

We really don't have much to choose from in Nor Cal.  Southern California has the bigger named companies. WE have cheersport , athletic championships, jamfest, GSSA, Americas Best, and Jamz. There are some other local comps, but for the most part thats what we have. We need NCA, Coastal Alliance, Champion, Champion Cheer Express, All Star Challenge, WSF, and other organizations. I am one who is way OVER Jamz,USA,and GSSA.

JAMZ, have to say done with them.  just checked the schedule. they want the little one's to stay all day and night.  It's too difficult asking a tiny to perform at 2:30 and wait until 9:30 pm for the results.   that's just crazy.  

coastal alliance tried to come to nor cal the last two years.  it didn't work for them so they didn't come back this year.   

Still like GSSA and UCA.

Why can't they offer All Star Only competitions and have Youth, School, and Rec teams go on a completely different day. Same as studio dance competitions. It's studio based teams only at event such as Starpower. I think it would make the days shorter, awards easier, and just easier on everyone so nobody has to be at a cheer competition very late in the evening. I am not sure about everyone else but leaving cheerleading events at 10:00 PM is not fun.


Yes, it's true that the competitions run late, but you dont have to wake up at 7:00AM if your son or daughter is competing in the second session. Let them rest. Another thing is that my daughter does hip hop and cheer. I do not want to either spend the money on gas to drive back the next day or even spend the money on a hotel. I think it's great that they have cheer and dance all in one day. Hence the name "JAMZ CHEER AND DANCE"

Since Jamz regionals combine small with large teams (something I do not agree with at all), there is usually enough competition in each division to satisfy most.  The schedule for this one is strange and unorganized, mixing dance with cheer.  I like the idea of keeping dance and high school gyms separate.

I dont care if i am competing with a SMALL or a LARGE team. The point of a competition is to compete! If they split there would be no one in the divisions. THEN THERE IS NO POINT! I dont want to go watch my daughters exhibition i want to watch her compete! I have two kids, one in dance and one in cheer. I think its great combining them, so i dont have to waste money driving to the same location two days in a row! Or having to be there from 8am to 9pm!

I do think at least the dance portions should be run on a different day or an alternate location.  The dance teams shouldn't be performing on a spring floor anyway.  They don't need the spring floor nor the entire 54 x 43 square foot area. 

Perhaps the rental of the facility has something to do with it.  It's probably cheaper to rent the facility for one day versus two.  In addition, you don't have to pay your competition staff for an additional day, etc.  It's all about how much money these competition hosts profit.

Maybe they do it for parents like me!! i have kids in both cheer and dance and i would be furious if i had to run from location to location and have the chance to miss one of my kids performances! If it was on two days i would have to keep one of my kids from performing because i couldnt afford the gas back and forth or a hotel for the night!
