You are out on the floor, panicking, not knowing if you will do good or not. You have over a thousand people watching you and you are scared to death.
    This happens at every competition even when you have competed for years. You will get more and more comfortable but you will still have a fear inside of you. It never goes away!
    Every competition there are new judges. Sometimes if you are nice to the judges before the competitions they might just give you a better score. The judges are strict. Sometimes you get all strict judges judging you you and you will get a score that you don't deserve. Other times you will get one judge that gives you a bad score but all the other judges give you a score that will give you the score you deserve.
    When you are ready to compete you get a warm session of thirty minutes. Then the announcer will introduce you to all the judges and tell you what panel of judges will be judging you. You get could get panel A or panel B. They usually spread out the judges evenly so there are some strict and some soft judges on each panel.
    Competing is so much fun. SOme people think that showing off infront of people is scary but it isnt that bad. Everyone should have a chance to sometime in there life. Even if it is not in Sports Acrobatics.
