I am new at pom routines.. Do most of the squads use there poms more like spelling things out? Maybe Estill can add something like that to there routine. I really like the faster more engery routines than the slow stuff like Powell did, but like I said I am new at this category..... Both teams were good today...

On the scoresheets, there is a category for "Effective Use of Poms." I have judged before (did not judge your competition) and the only way I give full points on this section of the sheet is if someone spells out or makes something, like I've seen a girl, a heart, words, a cat paw...etc. It is just so much more effective that way then just a straight dance. Alot of squads do that if you watch the state tape from last year, and they all used to do it.
Like you, I like faster routines too, but in the "Summer Lovin'" section of the routine, I thought the moves were too fast. If they had a fast beat, like a little hip-hop beat behind it to make it seem like it speeds up, it would have been much better and not seem so disconnected, just my opinion.
