This was told to me from an Energie athlete - They were in 31st because of a deduction in their partner stunt. They do a front tuck from prep level and two of the six groups are double based, making it illegal to catch because you need three spotters to catch an inverted fall.
Now, their score was somewhere around a 187. I'm pretty sure that at worlds, if you have a deduction for an illegality it is 5 points off your score; since California Sr. Elite had a 5 point deduction for a triple basket toss. So anyway, if you add the 5 onto 187 - you get 192. Considering the 10th place team going into finals had a score of a 232.67 - thats not even close
I was very proud to be from Cali represented by so many wonderfully talented teams.....Great Job to everyone!
Very glad I finally got to meet you. Very sad I didn't get to see any of the PCM teams live.
Likewise Bill..It was an honor and a pleasure! No worries, I am sure we will make it back next year with hopefully three teams and I will make sure you catch us .
I have a friend on Energie and she never said they were even close to making the top 10 so whatever athlete told you that was just lying. I don't know why they would because for their first year at Worlds they actually did fairly well. From what I know they did have some legality deductions, but they were very happy with their performance and had a great experience being there.

um i'm sorry but this did not sound like bashing just "truth"telling..... I get it you have a "stick" going and you are on a crusade... just don't make yourself look silly by interjecting your nonsense in conversations just for the sake of attention. You are as bad as the person that yell's "HATER" just because someone says something less then faltering toward your favorite team. Unless you have something constructive to say then you are regulated to the status of "drama starter" IMO

THERE IS A FINE LINE BETWEEN "TRUTH TELLING" AND "BASHING". IN FACT, SOMETIMES, TELLING THE TRUTH IS BASHING. IT JUST HAPPENS TO BE THE TRUTH. AND THERE ISN'T ANYONE ON THESE BOARDS THAT DOESN'T USE THE TRUTH TO BASH. BY THE WAY, THEY BOTH HURT.
