I agree. Many teams have rechoreographed due to injury/sickness. The competition company should have remained consistent with the USASF rules/divisions. Why have a governing body if no has consequences or rules are "bent" all the time? I think it makes American Championships look extremely unethical.

I know the ppl at OC and the ppl at Amer. Champ. and the competition company was NOT aware of an illegal person competing nor would they have allowed it, OC tried to pull one over... however Amer. Champ. SHOULD have DQ'd OC when they found out about it, NOT given them a Nat'l Title for cheating! Not cool.

All this and still no results??????

Here we go again....

OC is a large program that paid a large amount in entry fees to American Championships-does all this mean that the more you pay the more you can cheat? I would also think that out of all the teams that gym has there would be one flyer that would be of legal age to put in the air with a 4 week notice????

Some time this weekend bullets and cf must have tagged oc and said "your it"

Obviously OC had written documentation and proof or else why wouldn't have they been disqualified? Sounds like they were able to prove their point. The competition company obviously had to try and make right, even if it was wrong.

how is it cheating of american championships said it was okay to go with the younger athlete 4 weeks ago, and then repeated it when it was brought to their attention again by another competitor in the division? oc was given the choice of staying in the division or stepping out of the division, oc decided to step out of the division to not cause any more controversy

That was really big of them to step out of a competitive division to be handed a gauranteed national title in a made up just for them division.....

Oh come on! This isn't OC's fault at all. Do you really feel it would be better if they stayed in their original division?

I would hope, although I don't know if this happened, that the comp only awarded OC champions because their score was higher than the teams in their original division

it is oc's fault because they decided to put someone on their small senior five team who did not meet the age requirements which By the way, she was not even 10. their was no letter sent because if their was, amercan championships being 1.) a varsity competition and 2.) a member of the usasf they would not have allowed it. It was also american championships fault however that they came up with a division that never existed. OC should have been disqualified but instead they were rewarded with the banner trophy an jackets.

It doesn't make sense that you would use American Championships being a Varsity competition as the reasoning why the letter didn't happen, and then in the very next sentence write that AC (the same Varsity competition) created a non-existing division.

I think it makes sense that there was a letter written, why else would AC open up a new division? They messed up, knew it and "fixed" it.

No company is allowed to just make up a division-AC will get in a huge amount of trouble from the USASF for their decision here.

I don't even know what happened, but this is what seems most logical!

What was the division they made up? Senior 5 plus 1 9 year old? I'm curious what it was called?????
