I'm so gutted there is no Medusa this year. They were amazing to watch last season!
 
It's really not that much different than a large gym entering the Small division, and nobody seems upset that huge gyms like CEA and Woodlands Elite have Small teams. 16 athletes (the new maximum for X-Small) vs 20 athletes (the size of a typical Small team) isn't a big difference. Every gym has different circumstances for entering certain divisions. Just because a gym has a huge talent pool doesn't mean they have enough kids to make all big teams. More realistically, a gym is going to have an uneven number of kids (meaning, they will have some Large teams and some Small teams).

While not a gigantic gym, CJA is a great example of a gym that has a talent pool big enough for more than one Level 5 team, but one of the teams is understandably XS. Will there be some mega gyms who take advantage of this division and stack an XS team? Sure. But again, is that much different than a mega gym stacking a Small team? Not really. Did anyone have a problem when Woodlands Elite Generals moved from Large to Small even as their gym got bigger and bigger? Not really.

Or when Panthers went from 36 to small with 20, then to medium, back to large
Or when F5 went from large to medium back to large
Or when WC Suns go back and forth between medium and small every few years, as did WC Odyssey in 2017 and maybe even again in 2019

These are more examples of mega gyms making decisions that they thought were best for the team/program, and I don't recall many people complaining that they were hindering the growth of the industry.
 
After thinking about this X-Small division convo, I think this is exactly what it is just an added division and it is no different from being placed in a Sm, Med. Or Large division. I think I was just confuse by the rule that states a gym with a level 5 team already cannot enter this division. I felt this rule caused me to believe that the addition of the X-Small was exclusive of small gyms with new level 5 team...js
