For a coach to be Depending upon KAPOS warmup area tech judges to be looking for mistakes for goodness sakes IS NOT THE TIME OR PLACE.

If all of the responsibility lies on the coach, what is the role of the technical judge? They cannot accurately assess technical points for stunts if they do not recognize what is illegal.

Every year at these events, teams make changes after going through the tech judges. It is different schools every year. (Correct me if I am wrong but I think it has been a while since Belfry has had a problem before this year). I know that this happens in every single region in the state.

Schools that have issues that are caught by the tech judge get another opportunity. Schools the do not, are not given that opportunity.

If the entire responsibility is going to be on the coach, then the technical judge really has no purpose. They should not exist. That way, no team gets a second chance if they perform an illegal stunt.

KAPOS really MUST make some changes. This way all teams, and girls, are treated in the same manner . Then, and only then, can you say that the entire responsibility rest upon the sponsor.
