What problems are there with Standard Skill?
Though there are some important benefits to having the Standard Skill competition, there are also several problems with the event. Participation and interest have not increased over the years; its complicated and difficult to understand; and very few individuals prepare a Standard Skill routine each year in advance of the competition. In addition, few groups have regional events to give their riders experience in putting together a routine before NAUCC. And it is always difficult to find and train judges. A major concern is that the event takes up a significant amount of time at nationals. With gym time being very expensive, it becomes more difficult each year to justify using an entire gym for a basic skill performance by individual riders, especially without choreographed music or special costumes. Since its usually not possible to rent more than one gym for nationals, it may be time to revamp Standard Skill into a more workable event.
