I noticed that CF alcatraz had 42 people on the roster. Is this to make it look like they had 42 kids signed up. Do the kids have to compete at the comp or just be on the roster to compete at worlds. If they just have to be on the roster then CF might be taking out the crossovers and just putting other kids in their spots?????? I need some answers here it sounds logical to me.

Actually in the begining of the routine the elite on the back left came down. So it wasnt a perfect hit both days.

We will be taking all 3 teams with us to worlds.

get it :)

So what will you do with the crossovers. How will you choose which team they will compete on. For example the girls that double on Alcatraz and diamonds. How do you decide which routine needs them more? Just curious. Congrats on a great weekend!

Diamondz will keep all the cross overs and we will fill the other two teams with other members from our gym. In this way we can give 105 kids in our gym the amazing opportunity to experience Worlds with doing it this way instead of just taking one team of 35. Hope this helps.

That sounds great! Goodluck to all of your teams!

Cheerforce I can't wait to see you guys compete this year, congrats on all the bids this weekend! Good luck for the rest of the season.

But you can only substitute 10 kids from each team?

I heard at the comp, people saying of course cf won, they had 42! I also saw it written on another board. Are people really that silly? They see a number registered and just don't get it. Wouldn't each registered member have to be paid for? So who cares? Only 35 on the mat folks! Subs will happen later. Jeez

The reason why they paid for 42 is so they can sub in an extra seven kids. 35 on the matt + 7 extra = 42. So my guess is they have atleast 15 cross overs from Diamondz to Alcatraz. With ten subs that leaves 5 more people. Well since they paid for 42 that leaves them seven more open spots so they can add those 5 others in and have an extra two subs. That's what I got from reading some other posts and thinking about it myself. It actually sounds pretty smart.

I'm a bit confused about the crossover thing...you don't mean cross compete, right. World rules are not allowing people to cross compete...o compete on more than one team.

i think if CF put 42 ppl on the roster than they must have things planned out for substitutions
you can only have 35 on the mat
42-12 thats 35 PLUS then ten substitutions
makes sense
seems like they found a loop hole to me

It seems that the smaller gyms have to be more creative to make a name for themselves. My hats off to a coach who wants to give the WORLDS experience to as many deserving kids as possible. Let's not be greedy. If a team qualifies, let them come.

Now that CA Panthers received paid bid from ACA who is in line for the @large bid from American Grand Las Vegas? From what I can tell here are the next teams in line (in no particular order):

Magic All-Stars Magic - Sr Sm
The Cheer Center All-Stars - Sr Lg
Georgia All-Stars Georgia All-Stars - Sr Ltd Cd
Nor Cal Elite Nor Cal Elite - Sr Unltd Cd

Worlds Watcher:

Are you going off of the next placements of each division. How did you come up with these...just curious.

Worlds Watcher · GURU

These were the next in each division that have not received a paid or @large bid to date.

Magic took 3rd in Sm Srs, Cheer Central took 3rd in Lrg Srs, Georgia took 2nd in Ltd Coed, and NCE was 4th in Unlimited Coed. So I would think that it would go to Georgia but that depends on the next highest score out of these 4 teams.

AirborneOwner · GURU

Agreed, I too think it will go to Georgia, The scores differential in small senior is to great compared to the coed division. Meaning that the third place coed team probably scored higher than the third place small senior team. Whoever gets it will be estatic. I wish everyone luck!
