Power Competition!!!

Date: Sun Nov 5 10:40 PM, 2006

Level 4 was one of the few that had more than a couple teams in the division, how did they place? How about the others that had competition? I'm sure it was entertaining!

How did the senior coed level 3 division end up? Good competition in that one I think..

Date: Sun Nov 5 10:49 PM, 2006

I am pretty sure that Senior 4 went like this;

1st Airborne
2nd UCF
3rd A****er
4th 720

Senior Coed 3 had three teams and went like this I think;

1st Airborne
2nd Royals
3rd Pyramids

Did anyone see the morning teams? I'm sure the teams from Folsom were awesome.

I think the automatic word screening is why you keep seeing A etc... Sports Academy with all the asteriks (I'm guessing that's it).

Thanks for the results. It looks like Airborne has strong teams again this year, good for them!

I don't recall the score, but congrats to Motions Co-ed Level 5 for getting the highest score of the day!

I have to say I was really unimpressed with this whole competition. First of all it was too bad that so many divisions did not have competition but I felt it went way too fast, the judging was a little random to me and nobody wowed me. The level 5 teams were good, but still have work to do to clean up their routines. I was more wowed by the youth football teams that competed before the allstars. A lot of those teams could have competed in the allstar section and won. Also, after all the postings about Cheer Divas new routines I have to say the level 3 team put me to sleep and were beat by a large margin by Motions and the level 4 team was not much better. The kids looked like they didn't want to be there and were just going through the motions so they could get off the stage. I know both teams are capable of more and I hope they come out next time and put some showmanship into their routines and wow me again like they have in the past.

The first thing I noticed upon walking in was that you had no idea who was putting on the competition. There was a huge black drape with a little table with trophies on it in the back of the stage. No sign saying what comp you were at or any visual backdrop to the stage. The lighting was not good for taking pictures at all. Then it was done really, really fast. There was a minute or less between teams and I have no idea how the judges could possibly score teams that fast which may answer why some of the scores and placements seemed off where others didn't. It ran ahead of schedule which was good, but I almost felt like we were being ran out of there so the ones that had been there all day (judges and workers) could go home. I expected a lot more from POWER and was disappointed.

Hopefully they will make some changes next year and get more gyms to come. I love their program, but their competiton left a lot to be desired.

I think it's the difference between a gym putting on a competition (which is mainly a fundraiser for their gym), and a competition company such as Jamz, etc... The whole look and feel is different. It is unfortunate that most of the divisions (something like ten out of 15) had no competition. As was said, the morning was more entertaining, and some of the teams could and should compete against all-stars.

Fundraiser implies that the kids are benefiting...not so here. Its called a moneymaker for the gym owner.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Too Funny

Cheer mom, you are an cheer idiot. There is no way, not matter how good, that any of those janky pop warner teams could have beat a team from motions, pyramids, airborne.

I always love the Power competitions- they are fun and run well. Its not about decoration-its what you bring to the floor!

Date: Mon Nov 6 12:09 PM, 2006

I agree and personally I would rather throw my regiatration money at another gym owner instead of a big competition company that rarely has its customers best interest in mind. Great job Power Cheer. Keep it up.

I have to agree with Cheer Mom, many of the pop warner teams were good and could be competitive in some of the All-Star divisions, however you'll notice that Cheer Mom didn't say they could all compete at Level 5...I think Anonymous is reading too much into her statement.

I also agree that the lighting was really bad. I ended up deleting every picture I took because they were all too dark - not that I think anything could have been done about that because it looked like every possible light was already on.

I too wondered how the judges could complete their scoring the in time alotted. I also noticed that the Suggested Stunt Group numbers appeared off for some teams. There was one Royals team with a SSG of 5 that put up six stunts and still had kids not involved in the stunts - I'm not sure but I think it was their Sr3Coed but maybe I missed something.

POWER, thanks for the competition! It was a nice, short day!
