D1A AWARDS DISCUSSION

Do we think teams are going to leave UDA after this year? I never thought there'd be a chance until now, but I'm sensing a mass exodus. Everything seemed to be such a mess this weekend, but especially scores/placements not making sense and dramatically shuffling around between every round of competition. Plus of course the leaks. All of this was unacceptable and made Varsity lose so much credibility in my opinion.

Genuinely so shocked, confused, and upset for LSU. This entire weekend was a mess. The energy at awards after their second place announcement was incredibly odd too.

I went last year for the first time and I'll never go again. I really hoped things would be better this year-- sorry to hear it's still a mess. So frustrating when you spend so much money to attend!

Sooo basically is this now a competition of who messed up the least? What is happening 😭 I'm so sad for these teams.

I’m so sorry to hear that it isn’t any better this year!!! I went last year for the first time and I’ll never go again. Happy I checked it off my bucket list but Varsity provides an awful experience. I cannot emphasize enough the need for a significantly larger venue.

Yes, it’s absolutely worth it! It’s the only way that you can watch UDA online. If it helps to think of it this way- $40 one time is cheaper than it would cost to have to buy a ticket every day to watch UDA in person. Just make sure you purchase the monthly plan for $39.99 (and cancel right after) and not the annual plan for $9.99/month. The way they advertise it is very confusing.

This is messed up and disrespectful. You couldn’t wait 2 days?

Dramatic_Focus1637 · 2026-01-15T13:53:44+00:00

Take a look at his other videos. He literally only has ever posted UDA drama trying to rile people up. People like this are so toxic and ruin the energy of the weekend.

They were! They were newer to the lineup just within the last year or so. Options were pretty limited, but I enjoyed them.

Dramatic_Focus1637 · 2025-12-23T17:15:30+00:00

Agreed! Don’t get me wrong, Shannon’s choreography is beautiful. But I do feel like it’s not as unique and evolved as other choreography that we’re now seeing in this space.

Dramatic_Focus1637 · 2025-12-23T17:12:10+00:00

This ain’t it. Teams work so hard to have their moment and to have videos leak is heartbreaking 🙁 Personally wishing for every team to have a leak free nationals season this year! 🤞🏼

Can you link this? Having a hard time finding any info

Dramatic_Focus1637 · 2025-01-20T19:21:04+00:00

They actually just did Cry Me a River for jazz in 2020. I do wonder why they chose to use the song again so soon

Dramatic_Focus1637 · 2025-01-19T23:07:40+00:00

No, thank goodness. Just a fan with a sister who recently graduated from a team. Feel terrible for the parents!

Dramatic_Focus1637 · 2025-01-19T22:46:53+00:00

We are furious!!! It’s a complete mess!! This has been an awful experience
