I think if anyone should be pissed it should be the girls of Power Large. Had they used a score sheet, there is no way that their small should have beaten the large team. The large routine is better and more difficult that the small one. The Small team is great, but that large team is just off the charts. I think after that they placement was pretty much right on, scoresheet or not

Actually rumor has it that Power large was behind Power small going into the whole super six division! I was a little surprised about this too but keep in mind, power large had a fall in their routine on Saturday and i heard they had a touch down on tumbling (i didn't see this though). So I think that Power small is capable of beating Power large. But you're right, Power large had the more difficult stunts but it's because they have more girls on their team to do more.

This is a true statement. Small was ahead of large.

Hey Everybody,

Airborne in no way is stating that they deserved to be in the top 6. Someone just stated that after the fact they thought it was strange that they heard that a score sheet was not used for super six. The scores in the Small Senior 5 division were very close with OC, Nor Cal and Us. It really came down to that first day performance, we had 4.5 in deductions from situations that rarely occur. The girls are aware that they had mistakes. Cheerleading is 'day of' sport. Sometimes you have good days and bad. This competition was not the weekend for Senior 5. Does this make them feel that they are incapable of getting a bid? NO! They got in the gym tonight and worked even harder then they have in the past.

Of course we will raise the money to go if we get any kind of bid. What an honor it would be to go to such an amazing event. Our kids wouldnt see it as going and possibly getting past prelims. They are so excited to be competing level 5 and would be happy to attend and learn from the experience. I think that everyone has become so judgemental about paid, partial and at large. Some great teams obtain at large bids and do great at Worlds. Didnt some of the Northern Cali teams get at large bids last year?

On the matter of us not returning to GSSA, that is something that I will decide on and we may or may not return, depending on scheduling and what is best for my program. Also, Jamfest has a different scoring system then GSSA. We have never been to a Jamfest event so I am unsure if we will attend those in the future.

Once again, thanks for the support . To those of you that dont think we are level 5 material or worlds material, we hope to prove you all wrong and hopefully you will learn to respect that hard work and dedication it takes to compete at that level. Off to Portland.

I agree with previous post. Airborne deserves a bid to worlds and no matter where they place at worlds, they are going to come back a more inspired program and team by what they see and experience at worlds! Go Airborne!
