i really dont see how kids can be confused about this....half of the kids in that comp were already sponsored...nothing about the comp EVER said you couldnt be..the whole point was to not have established pros in it, thats it. If someone like Ramaley for example was competing and not judginig, than you would have a point...but none of the kids who entered have established careers, regardless of sponsorships...think about what they are competing for..do you really think a kid who is just doing 3's and 5's deserves to compete in the masters and get flown all over the place and coach all summer at camp of champs? Matt is exactly the caliber kid this comp was designed for, and everyone should be stoked for him for winning because he deserved it. Quit complaining!
