Should Cheer Scoring Change? The Heated Debate Over Introducing a Code of Points Apr 12, 2022

Show notes

A lot people in allstar cheer have been really supportive of introducing a Code of Points scoring system into the industry. So instead of judges having their own personal opinion on what points to award a team, in essence, difficulty scores would be pre-determined. Sounds great, but not everyone thinks that that is a solution that can be practically implemented. So today I have on Shea Crawford, Shakeem Soanes and Craig Hallmark to debate the pros and cons of using a Code of Points.
