Spring Local Competition - Poms

Beth took part in the locals competition which, as usual was another 'well' organized YCOA event. Actually, it wasn't that badly organized this time, but then the improvement wasn't difficult based upon the total disaster that was the Fall Regional Competition. This year YCOA were promoting pre-registration as a way to reduce waiting time prior to the event. We decided that if everyone pre-registered then the 'on the day' registration probably wouldn't be that bad. Almost everyone else must have agreed with us since the registration lines were as long as usual & the pre-registration 'booth' was empty. Other changes included a new judge specifically for technical compliance (although you knew that this probably wouldn't make any difference when the MC announced that there was this new judge with this specific role but none of the judges knew who was doing it) & new scorekeepers & checkers. Beth's team did a great job with their cheer & dance routine & placed 3rd - great job Beth!
