Seems to me there was more interest in this year’s American Cup gymnastics meet than in many years past. Kudos to USAG and the meet organizers.
Now … why don’t you improve the format for 2011?
Do you want it to be referred to as the Scam Cup forever?

Some weren’t impressed with the inaugural Supergirl Cup, held the day prior, but I love the concept. More reward for the top Level 10s (and Elites dropping down to compete Level 10).
Here’s the Supercheesy wrap-up video.

Its been the scam cup for so long I dont think much can be done to change the image.
Two of my friends who’ve never watched gymnastics on site went to this meet. I asked them why and they said they wanted to see Shawn Johnson (and they were disappointed she wasn’t there). So I think the main reason gymnastics get more attention is because we got star gymnast more popular than before. Did USAG do better job this time? Maybe or maybe not.
