Why do people call this All level Worlds....its is the All Level Championship, they do not market it with the word worlds in it so why do people add it in?
Good point. I think people do it because its the closest thing levels under 5 will have to something like Worlds. But what its supposed to be is a true Nationals, and as I have mentioned before, sadly it is not. It is just another competition. My hope and my guess is that within a couple/few years, one of these will be weeded out (either US Finals or IALCC) and there will be one left standing, which is exactly how it should be. Looking at the turnouts for each one will help to see which direction gyms are going in.
I respect the idea behind it and how they had different locations, but Level 5 worlds would never had multiple locations like that so until people will travel to one location to battle it out for the best Youth 3 team in the country it is just another competition. I was really taken back by the lack of teams in long beach this weekend, when we went last season it was heavily attended.
Sooooo disappointed with the schedule I know last year the competition wasn't run very smoothly but it was the first year... I wish that gyms would be more patient and support what they are trying to do for the lower level teams. That being said they should've made it harder to qualify and they shouldn't have divisions that are also at Worlds such as Jr 5. Anyway, Good luck to they few of you attending!!
I think cheerforce will give Cali a run for there money. We won in Vegas, they won in Palm Springs by 1.6 pts after stacking there team with level 5 cheerleaders. I am curious what they will do to try and beat this time.

Don't start drama. It's been a great year so don't end it on a sour note Cheerforce mom. It makes you look very bad.
Even if it ran smoothly last year you still have some gyms attending US Finals, with the same goal in mind. This concept would work if you only had ONE competition, with four locations spread across the country, choosing the National Champs from the winners of the four locations from the videos. Its a great idea, and if you make it a little harder to get a bid, it would mean even more. But you cant have two competition companies doing the same thing, it defeats the purpose. Its like having two different world series or superbowls.
I honestly believe the reason for the poor turnout may have to do with the fact that it is in May. This is very late in the cheer season and most gyms I know of are having tryouts this week and next. We are going but I feel like our season ended already and it is very hard for me to keep my focus on this year when next year is so close I can touch it.
I think it's because they have one team going? I heard that they moved into the regular level 4 divison so there is competition for them and they are not a small gym by no means.

I am sorry if I offended anybody regarding my post. I am just a very proud parent who sometimes gets carried away with cheer. I wish all the teams the best of luck this weekend. See you in Long Beach!!

This is too funny.. specially seeing from the gym you come from
do you feel better that you said this was it really necessary? if you dont know what goes on with the teams from a different gym i suggest you shouldn't say anything no need for more drama.
