The Process: Auditions, Training Camp and Squad

[MC123]

I'm very confident these are the groups. I saw videos from Meet the Team in a FB group that shows sideline routines

Group 1- Caroline, Chandi, Armani, Dani, Jessica, Jensen, Megan, Kylie, Marissa P

Group 2- Jalyn, Kat, Elli, Victoria, Ashlinn, Lea, Tyra, Amanda, Kally and Sophy

Group 3- Kelcey, Claire, Jada, Kelee, Madeline, Rebecca, Tori, Kali, Zhenya

Group 4- Ashlee, Mckenzie, Darian, Marissa, Christina, KayDianna, Kleine, Karley, Kayla

I think Group 3 will be my favorite.

Group 3 is the one for me too. All my favourite technical ladies in that one!

I genuinely think I'd rather go to Meet the Team than a regular game because the focus is all on the cheerleaders and I imagine you get to see some extra dances too. Now to just befriend a DCC and fly across to Dallas...

Who completed the mini triangles of groups 1 and 4? I know it was Elli and Tori for groups 2 and 3

> Point didn't become a huge deal until..

That is about the show and the fans interest.

I'm no dancer but I bet point has ALWAYS been a big thing among the girls. If I was a dancer on the NFL being point would be a dream.

I can't get the lovely primetimer search feature to work, but I was just going off what someone else had posted months ago about point - to paraphrase what I remember -  the dancers are more concerned with making the team and their performance, no one goes into it with the goal of point, and overall it's not that big of a deal amongst the group. I am sure whoever gets chosen as point, then yes, individually it becomes a big deal.
 

Being point would never be a dream of mine if I were an NFL cheerleader. It's hard being out front and being blind to what is going on behind you in front of this massive audience. And the pressure on you to not make one mistake, ever. That is a role for some, but definitely not all. 

[mizzhyer]

Just my thoughts on the group triangles... Group 1 was obvious...I would have rather seen KD or Darian complete the group 4 triangle.  I am glad to see Elli in the group 2 triangle...and while I like Tori, I would have rather seen Rebecca finish the group 3 triangle.  I think she's a better dancer than Tori and just as pretty. This is simply my opinion ...that and 6$ buys my coffee 😜

Exactly the reason point will be a big deal. Okay it might not be everyones dream but it still means a lot. The point leads the team. 

[MC123]

Okay guys, this is what I think the formation is.... this could be wrong as some of the photos and videos are blurry but I am fairly confident. For second formation, Kelcey as point, Ashlee in the same place, Caroline takes Claires place and Claire takes Kelceys place

I think I am one of the few people who was waiting to know who got the third 50 yard line position. It was Jada!! I was hoping one of the tall 3rd years will get it (meaning Jessica or Jada).

Does anyone have any photos or videos of the previous years where the triangle had 37 girls...for reference purposes. 2019 had 37 girls, but I am pretty sure they did the whole 36 girls in the triangle only, but other than that 2016 had 37 girls as well.

EDIT: Here's the triangle I made, using all 37 girls, using @Kamal 's spreadsheet as reference. I did not take into account the choreography, so IDK if this formation clashes with the choreo.

I think VK and Kat get a bad rap.  VK seems to have mellowed out and become a regular member of the squad.  (I know I could be wrong).  And Kat also seems to fit in and she has definitely got the dances down better.  They're both good, deserving DCCs in my opinion.

Random thought but how many lockers are in the locker room? The lockers are already built and the names and photos are changed so there had to be at least 37 lockers for each lady to have their own. But also enough lockers for the TCC, so how many max are there? I can’t remember if off the bat the TCC got lockers or if once it got to a certain number they were given lockers

I am shocked VK isn't in the "tall" group/3.

But I guess it makes sense that she has a 5th year as her GL. Kelcey and her were rookies together and this is Kelcey's first time as a leader, so maybe there wouldn't be a good dynamic there as far as power structure. Otherwise those long legs of VK's belonged in this group 😆

I think this is pure (evil) genius. Jalyn has had another season under her belt where Kelli and Judy have put her on Showgroup, and made her a group leader. I think the powers that he have recognized who “won” in the strange relationship between Jalyn and VK, and now VK has to fall in line and they’ve given Jalyn their backing and support. Just desserts!

Shout out to the Claire for making triangle/diamond as a 3rd year!! 

I know in general sides of the triangle are considered better than the interior of the triangle and usually go to show group. But for the 3rd row, is it more prestigious to complete the diamond or to be one of the 2 girls on the side? 

[StellaCL]

Is Sophy a twin? Her sister Kyla looks identical to her. 
Darian is a twin, and isn't there a DCC with a twin brother? Rebecca maybe? Ashlinn? Or did I just completely make that up? Seems like a remember a recent TCC in the past few years that had a twin brother.

Do they try to keep GL from having members of their rookie class in their groups?  Also, where is VK in the big and group formations?  Is she the tallest in her group?  Must be striking!  And she probably stands out!

Since we have double point and the girls rotate I don't think there is a difference in the diamond or the 3rd row side. Some times the point moves to the diamond sometimes she moves to the side. I feel like they just move to the easiest place.

(If there wasn't any rotations because of two points I think the diamond should be the tallest among the deserving elder vets IMO)

During Thunderstruck, VK is in the "innermost" triangle (pink)---Jada is the "point" and VK is next to her.  Re: Jalyn's group... when they are in two lines, VK is at the end of the front line.  Here's a picture of when they are in a triangle.
