I heard something around 4 that flew in or came from another gym for smoed. Sometimes there are people that fly in to flat out try for Cali, and it doesn't guarantee them a spot on our worlds team. The split during the summer of 5 and 5R can be devastating to some. We have two people that I know of that flew to my cali location, then got put on restricted. They didn't fly in just for the worlds team, but to be on Cali and have the opportunity. So i'm sure in that sense there are people flying in for a few more teams than just Smoed, just not teams in general if that makes sense. I think the whole super selective thing is played up a lot more for Smoed than it actually is and everyone assumes we never use our own athletes which is untrue. Sorry for the rambling hahaI hate to be so nosy and imposing on you... But in Cali is it just the Smoed team that people are flying in to be specifically on that team. How many homegrown athletes make up the Smoed's roster? I guess I am asking this questions because I really only hear about Smoed and athletes flying in to be on this team only...but what about those other teams...
To be honest, it is refreshing to know that majority of Cali teams are made up of homegrown athletes and know that these athletes have a good shot in making these World teams
ETA: Fixed number.
