I am not looking into bashing any gyms either (I actually like the gyms with the world bids.) You pose a good question, say one of the teams with the world bid wins NCA, & gets the paid bid to summit. Is it ethical for them to accept the paid bid to summit and compete at the summit the weekend after worlds?
My point is once you accept a bid to worlds or summit. A team should be required to compete in the division they earned the bid in.
Good point! I didn't even think of that...I think I may officially blow up if that happened. That would be wrong on so many levels!!!
Also, I do applaud NCA for making a team compete at least once in their new level prior to attending NCA. I do hope, however, that they continue to look at the problem and make it even harder to drop a level. I would just love for a team to have to declare a level by Jan 1 and stay there. No going back and forth. I say Jan 1 because from my own personal experience, it does take competing a time or two before you really know how good your team will be. Sometimes the skills they "have" don't necessarily translate to the floor as you expect them to.
