I have to disagree! It is NOT the USASF responsibility. The USASF is a governing body of rules and to make sure gyms and companies abide by those rules.  It is our responsibility as gym owners to provide a good product for our cutomers, that being the kids and their parents.  It is our responsibility as gym owners to ensure comp companies do not put comps on the same weekend. If the larger comp companies are going to purchase the smaller companies and not give us options, then we need to band together and show them we are a team and have them remember we are ALL their customers.  SOME companies get that, some do not!

This statement is ridiculous! Why should cheer companys have to listen to this bull crap, that's right they don't. You pick and chose the competition you want to go to as a gym owner. If they happen to fall on the weekend as another comp you dont go. You go to the next one, you qualify by video or other results from other competitions. And to make them give you a discounted group rate because you a nor cal team .. pahlease.. are you really going to give that discount to the parent .. or are you going to approximate the comp fees like usual and oops, we drop 1 or 2 comps and we still have to pay it.
You people need to get over yourself.

well damn someones a lil angry at the situation. i think its a good move. i agree bringing together the competition, even though facing the same opponents may get repetitive it's still better competing against them over and over (even if you lose) than it is going against no one. alot of times team lose to themselves (dropping, not hititng) but dont care because they compete against themselves. but if your competing over and over against people, your definately going to care.

as long as NCAA doesnt over power its ideas with companies i agree with it.

"according to john" wow ok and that makes everything right? no. i do say that if you are concerned about the ncaa(still sounds like the college orginzation) you should go to the meeting in april and get more informed. is there something like this in southern ca too and if not then why not? are we pushing to hard up here in norcal for things that need to be handled from a state wide thing? just a thought?
to tell the truth it all sounds like there are still a ton of things that need to be settled and answered but hey go to the meeting hear what has to be said and the decide................

According to John:

"By joining together and attending some not all of the same events"

So you won't have to compete at ALL the same events, you can still choose.

JMO:  I'm no psychologist, but I think your resentment has nothing to do with "NCAA."  I think it has to do with the gym owner that thought of the idea.  Really, Sweetie, it's no big deal.  You DON'T have to be an "Alliance" if you don't want to.  That's the beauty of it.  I think you don't want your gym to join b/c your gym gets beat by this particular gym.  Isn't that your issue????  Let it out.

Wowee you are just a bigger idiot than that other person. It sounds to me like ya'll just need help. The thing about this NCAA is that Cheer Companies don't even need to recognize it. Go ahead set up your Alliance, but who says Jamz, USA, GSSA, etc., will even give it consideration? You think a couple gyms are going to change their Policies and Procedures because you guys don't want to pay?  And/Or change thier schedule around to best suit you? I agree with the other comment. Ridiculous.
