nicole, do you know if fusion and victory (4th and 5th in their small division) scored higher than stars extreme and nor cal elite coed (3rd and 4th in coed division), and so this is why victory received the at large bid, instead of stars extreme?

You know, I am not sure. We started talking about other things and we got off track. I only specifically asked about Fusion and Victory.

Do they deserve to go to the World Championships if they are 4th or 5th in a regional competition?

When it comes to Victory Cheer I think they have a very clean routine and have hit solid more than most teams this year. They do have less difficulty but what they do they do well. The gym itself is full of really nice people and I think that if USA believed that they would be a good representative of their company it is not our business to question them. I understand the question of the whole Stars Extreme maybe having a higher score but clearly that was not on the forefront of USA or the bid would of gone to the next score not Victory. Go Sonic Boom. Show them what you got.

nicole, one other question. we all know that USA can make their decision based on who they feel will best represent them at Worlds and they should. do you know if they made this decision after GSSA?

Well I do know that Mike had to get special permission from the USASF to hand out the bids after the 72 hour period especially since they were at large bids. So I am not sure about the timing of it. Good question though.

Well it looks like Mike Bergues ironed everything out. Nor Cal co-ed got their bid!

Can you tell me what team they will take now that they have crossovers? I would not think they could field two teams at Level 5 without crossovers unless they use the Junior Coed kids too. But I thought they crossed as well.

Who declined their bid from GSSA?

can anyone clarify what happened? congrats to nce coed!

Date: Thu Mar 13 10:54 PM, 2008

I haven't heard about nce coed getting a bid...if they did, congrats!

However, I do know that since all of the small senior girls are on coed that if given the choice between taking coed or all girl to worlds they would chose coed. Because if possible they would like to give that experience to as many of their members as they can. I Hope that answers the questions about that.

If USA decided to give Stars Extreme the at large bid (which I believe is what should have happened to begin with) then it would be Stars Extreme declining the GSSA bid which would give it to Nor Cal? I don't know I'm just guessing. Anyway I am very excited for Nor Cal's coed, congrats!!

Who has confirmed this. Also, why would Stars decline the bid?

Date: Fri Mar 14 8:43 AM, 2008

what is nor cal going to do take all girl or coed? coed is practically all crossovers from all girl?

Date: Fri Mar 14 10:04 AM, 2008

I thought I read it would be their coed to give more of them the experience of going to Worlds. Makes sense to me!

Date: Fri Mar 14 10:16 AM, 2008

im sure that they understand the rules since they did go to worlds last year. we will just have to wait and see what the gyms decision is.

To get back on topic...sorta smile

...what happened? According to Nicole Victory got the USA at large bid and Stars was still using the GSSA at large. Did this change, and why? confused

i dont think anyone truly knows exactly what happened...and i dont think we really ever will but if usa wouldnt have messed up during their awards it would have changed the awards at gssa and so i think the outcome is what it should have been and everything evened out in the end. Conrats to Nor Cal. see you at worlds

Date: Fri Mar 14 12:41 PM, 2008

Agree. Next season hopefully USA will know who already have bids before passing them out. I'm glad they corrected their error.

no actually all girl is practically all crossovers from coed i think.

All this "handed down" stuff is crazy....If I recieved a bid, I would like to win it, at a competition because I got the top score..not because it was HANDED down to me... World's just isn't as special as it should be.
