It doesn't matter if you go at 8 in the morning or 3 hours later. Real champions can do their routines any time of the day. I'm pretty sure if Graves had gone at 11, you wouldn't be saying anything. BG deserved to win that title and I bet everyone in that arena agreed. Graves didn't look nearly as good at KAPOS as they did at nationals so they didn't deserve to win. And almost all of BG's stunts were unassisted too, so get your facts straight. KAPOS judges know what they're doing and they scored accordingly.

I don't think that the comment made meant to say that what time they competed was not fair. They were referring to how far apart they have the divisions. If there are 10 squads in a division, they need to go within a certain time of each other. The judges need to have in their mind the routines of the others competing against them. It is just fact that judges score different as the competition progresses. They score harsher at the beginning and more lenient towards the end. But teams competing in the same division as each other should not be competing 3 hours apart from one another.
