Thank you.... and as always your program was terrific! Some members of our staff love the bows on your international teams - the white ones. Adoreable! Congrats to all... including So Cal Elite Outlaws with their full paid bid. A very well deserved win for this team. AMAZING choreography! I'm very excited for their merge with Cheerforce and Mavericks... and it was great to wacth Mavericks and So Cal cheering each other on while the others performed! You can just tell how happy these two programs are to be joining forces.

I agree with that one. Nancy rocked those bows out. I love yella ribbon
I just wanted to come on and say 3 really enjoyed he scheduling this year. Definitely 100x better than being at comp til 1-2am! I liked how they split days for tinys minis and youth from juniors and seniors.
Titan/Ace omg amazing program! West Coast Mavericks are outstanding! I also had an opportunity to talk to a coach and some parents and they were awesome. FIERCE was just that! applauds to your injured girl that went out there and still did what she could! That's teamwork! There is so much to comment on but those are the first things that I can remember. I do have to say that I never cried so much in my life when they were handing out the scholorship, I must of looked silly quivering lip and all! I had an awesome time as well as our girls.
did anyone watch a team called ultimate storm, i believe they were level 3... blue black and white uniforms the first 2 minutes and 20 seconds of their music was the exact same as cheer athletics panthers last year it was PERFECT... the voice overs were just taken out we wonder if they bought it from ca ...? hmmm
After watching videos I thought that all the teams that got bids did great but I think I would have leaned towards Nor Cal for the paid bid. Overall their skill level was higher than So Cals and their routine was more energetic it seemed. Did anyone who was there feel that way?
Congrats to all!

Well....obviously you must be wrong if you don't think ACE got rooked!
EDITED TO ADD: I hope everyone knew I was kidding here.

I felt the same way, so I'm glad to know I was not alone! I think both teams did well and the scores were super super close. I figured I just a mom and missed something. :) Both teams are very pleased to have a bid, 25k would have been better than 5k... but All the kids on both teams are very thrilled when it is all said and done guess that is what is most important.....
Awesome teams and performances this weekend... Great job to all and congrats!!!
wow what a weekend. I'm still recovering from such an intense 4 days; Odyssey has been competing since dance on thursday and it has been a whirlwind from the moment we started. I could say a million great things about the comp, from the company to the amazing programs that attended but only have enough energy for the condensed readers digest version:
Company: Jamz did an amazing job organizing this nationals. Talk about a package from entertainment to accommodation, I LOVED IT. I can't imagine how anyone could complain about this weekend, because everyone I saw seemed to enjoy it...DON'T LIE, you know this competition was awesome. Even though it was long, it was fun, and having the hotel right there made relaxing and pulling away for some R&R between divisions convenient. =).
TEAMS: uhmm where to start.
ACE/INFINITY, amazing! The only thing I did notice is how the routine seemed to be missing some type of signature flair, however that was definitely made up for with their amazing skill sets and jam packed routines. I'm sure with a bit more tweaking they'll be worlds ready and a force to be reckoned with.
FIERCE: SENIOR 4, by far one of the best performances of the weekend. Ur center dancer totally got my award for mvp, not only did she pull off the routine with a HUGE injury, but worked OUT THAT DANCE (u better work...COVERGIRL.) She and Robbie from CA international totally stole the weekend and had everyone talking about what real performers look like. I hope she gets better soon, send her a big high five from all the kids and coaches at CO...she was def. the bomb.com.
NOR CAL: I still think they deserved the paid bid. Phoenix was amazing, and JOHN and NAT were the only couple I saw legitimately throw a coed elite in a routine...MAJOR KUDOS. The best part about this program is how nice everyone is, after the bids were announced, a parent told me they were so so so happy just to get a bid, their humble attitude and appreciation really made my heart smile, especially after seeing how vicious these bid wars can be. MOREOVER, on day two they competed 10 doubles....get it norcal...good luck at worlds.
CA International: uhmm, im so jealous of how amazing their dance is. HANDS DOWN, best choreo I've seen all year. They could've spent 2 minutes doing handstands and star jumps and the dance alone still would've had the whole place on their feet.
FAVORITE PART of this weekend: THE SCORESHEETS. I've said this before but I'll repeat it, if you aren't familiar with JAMZ scoresheets, than ur missing out!
Rebels Elite wanted to thank the teams that supported us this weekend. MAC'S all-stars is an amazing team and they were very gracious by congratulating us after the awards.
Also, a thank you to the Extreme Elite (used to be stars exteme) Mom that I sat by during the Awards performance. This women let my entire team come and sit down when the arena was packed and we had no place to go. Thank you for the good luck pen!! I guess it worked.
Great job to all the teams this weekend. The sportsmanship and motivation between teams helped to prove why I love cheerleading so very much.
*Favorite performance of the weekend was CA's international... so creative!

Actually I watched ACE/Infinity and they blew me away. I would of thought for sure they won the paid bid. Other teams were very strong but ACE had alot of unique material inthe routine. That pyramid sequence is amazing. Is their a Full results page somewhere?
