This is not the first time this has happened and probably won't be the last. Its not announced because it wouldn't be very good for their reputation. Should mistakes like this happen, NO, not at this level..thats why everything should be checked and double checked before going out, it is unacceptable at the National level. A club owner like Larry would definitely find an error as he is very thorough...A written apology I hope was sent from Cheer Evolution to Black Widow, but you can't really take the win etc away from Cheer Force those girls thought they earned it. It wasn't their error. I hope more coaches/owners really look over the scores, totals etc to make competitions more accountable
To be clear, CE notified us of the error in scoring. It was an input error that we couldn't have detected. CE could have kept it quiet but did the right thing in acknowledging the mistake and providing us with a banner. It was unfortunate but the girls were thrilled to find out they had won and we appreciated CE noticing the mistake and letting us know.
There are certainly no hard feelings on our part and we are proud of the job our coaches and athletes did. Congratulations to Cheer Force on an excellent performance as well.
