Thanks, I was just trying to justify why some gyms routinely attend Jamz competitions. Having said that I still wish Jamz would combine at least two of their three regionals in Northern CA. Like other competitions I think they only need to have one regional in our area, especially if it appears the same gyms are attending all three. I think a better test of how your team is doing this season is to put it up against numerous talented teams, not just one (or worse yet, nobody).


Actually Abby, all the Jamz events have been a good size so far this season. The other events in Northern California haven't been as big other than American Championships. Jamfest wasn't very big this year and GSSA was about the same. Jamz events are just fun, which some of the other comps are. They must be doing something right because their one day events are very large. If your going to Jamz Nationals, then get as much Jamz judging as you can.



To XpressJag:  I was curious and took a look at the Jamz schedule for this Sunday vs. the GSSA results that are posted. If you look at the number of teams in each division it can be a little misleading because GSSA has more divisions than Jamz, especially large/small and open/non open. But if you break it down by mini/youth/jr/sr and then level, you can see some significant differences and not by a small margin: (I'm leaving out the divisions where they both have an equally small amount)

Mini Level 1 - GSSA: 12 Jamz: 8
Youth Level 2 - GSSA: 8 Jamz: 3
Jr Level 2 - GSSA: 7 Jamz: 4
Sr Level 2 - GSSA: 15 Jamz: 7
Sr Level 3 - GSSA: 13 Jamz: 5
Sr Level 4 - GSSA: 9 Jamz: 6
Sr Level 5 - GSSA: 6 Jamz: 2

I think most would agree these are your most popular divisions. So I have to disagree with your statement that GSSA wasn't as big this year. I love Jamz Nationals, you'll always find plenty of competition there. But I feel they spread their regionals too thin by having too many in the same area. At least this particular one coming up has more competition than some of the others have had; good luck to all the teams attending.

Hi All!
Maybe I am misinterpreting, but I got the sense that Xpressjag was talking about the overall size of the competitions this year and saying that GSSA was about the same size as it was last year --- not that GSSA and Jamz comps were the same size as each other.

Miss C. you are correct. GSSA does have large events, but Jamz have nice size events as well. They only offer 5 regional championships and not all gyms live near UC Davis, San Francisco, or Stockton. Now some do, but teams in Sacramento don't always want to drive to SF to compete, so they offer them in a variety of places so it cuts down travel time.

On a side note, most of the Jamz events have nice size divisions with the exception of level 5.
