I'm really on the fence about this issue, probably because I'm a Zeta, but still. Not being a member of BGLO, I can't say I understand the origins behind stepping, the unofficial rules, etc. However, since stepping is somewhat of a mainstream thing now, and in this particular competition there were very little rules (it seems that way anyway) and not judged by anyone in a BGLO, ZTA won fairly in terms of the rules set forth. But, I do agree with the statement brought up by another GCer on the ZTA thread that in light of all this discussion surrounding their win this year, they should make every effort to create an original routine and really bring it next year.

ETA: And for the record, I do not agree with Sprite's decision to have AKA share the title with ZTA, especially after so long after the competition concluded. If I were AKA, I'd be upset and not all that vindicated.

Another person chiming in late without reading through the posts and without knowing much about the topic. As someone stated just a few posts back, there were very clear rules that were not followed. Sometimes it's best not to comment if you can't truly contribute to the discussion, especially if you are unwilling to do the research or at least read the previous posts.

Ahem, I am not chiming in late. Have you not checked back in over on the ZTA forum in which I agreed with you...? And since when is an opinion not a contribution to a discussion? I've been on GC long enough to know when to chime in and when to just lurk and I've definitely had my share of time on both sides of that fence, thank you very much.
