Update On Nationals

When Alison got home from practice today she told us about the UCA qualifier from the past weekend that they skipped.  She said she is unsure if they are going to get a bid.  Only 6 of the 18 teams competing actually got bids to Nationals, and only one of the teams in their division.  That is completely unlike last year when just about every team that competed received a bid.  I asked if she thought that teams were that bad or if they tightened the scoring/requirements for teams to get bids.  She seemed to think that UCA tightened their standards.  The only thing that still has me hopeful is that the one team that did get a bid was at the Indian Invite, and that based on the scoresheets from that, The Falls had a better performance.  That isn’t saying a whole lot since I didn’t see the performances, so the other team could have improved and had an awesome, flawless routine at the qualifier.  Or it could be that the video that Ali’s team submitted would still be better than the other team’s performance last weekend.  Either way, it sounds like the girls are a little worried that they might miss out on Nationals this year.
