In Response To: Jason, how is the USAPL going to clean up (George Phipps)

George,

its not a stuck up attitude its a very competive attitude. The judges arent your friends they are judges and the rules dont bend.For females especially there is NO other fed worth mentioning. It aint fun but real competition rarely is.

Now I certainly dont agree with all the rules or the politics but if I wanted to really compete there is no other place to go to get the competiton depth and consistency.

Since when are comps supposed to be fun?I competed and coach high level gymnastics for years and you KNEW the judges were looking for anything to mark you down on. Just the sign of a top competitior to be able to deal
