Here's what's spinning regarding competitive cheerleading in The Locker Room.
Why don't the judges announce the score for each team immediately after the routine.
That would build suspense as you are watching your team and trying to see if it can top, let's say an 88.0 that was scored earlier. The announcer could say, Team A needs an 87.2 to take the lead. Ladies you may take the floor! Then, the fans in the stands can try to determine in their own mind if the routine is worth 87.2 or 77.2.
Here's the other thing. We need to allow raucous cheering in the stands. The idea of staying quiet during a cheer/dance routine is silly. Having the bleachers packed with energized student-fans who are screaming their lungs out for their BFF's on the mat would bring an entirely different dynamic to the competition.
