Hmm. I've never been to the Cali Finale, but is it really bigger than USA Nationals or American Showcase Nationals?

It is not! I attended two(?) years ago and it was not good. It splits North Ca teams against South Ca teams which is why I don't really understand why they are giving out bids to this to teams across the country... It's typically around April 6/10, somewhere in there, but definitely not in my top 10 list of favorite competitions...

why would an east coast team fly to California the weekend before worlds or two weeks before Summit? Paid bids are cool and all, but flights are expensive. and Cali Finale is a lame competition...

However does this mean the corruption of Mid-Atlantic worlds' bids is over?! Doubt it. It was probably part of the stipulations of the sale lol

Don't they also offer bids to a competition they hold in Hawaii? We don't go to any of their events anymore, but I remember something about a Hawaiian championship.

LOL, no it is not. Both of those competitions are significantly larger, and better for that matter. I attended Cali Finale every year besides this one because of how poorly it is run. I hope and pray that if they truly want teams from the other side of the country to fly out here, they'll fix it and make it a proper competition!!

It used to be free of you attended a few of their comps. No more. Also used the have two locations, but doesn't any longer. The Hawaii bids are still being given out at 2 day Aloha comps in CA. But I don't think they were given at GSSA, which is an affiliate so not surprised not giving them from the new brand. The year we went it was quite large, but it was still free then. A lot of the same teams pretty much always win Aloha.

Bolded exactly why I no longer attend these competitions. It's not that they're biased towards "bigger" gyms per say, but any team that is returning or brand new to their events, you tend to see scores lean in their direction. A real slippery slope if you ask me.

Cali Finale Had 103 Full Year allstar team and with rec/dance and allstar prep they were at 141

USA- Just counting the mini's, all juniors and only Senior 1 I am already at 103....so I am not sure where Cali Finale is getting their info . I am going to keep counting all the youth and senior teams for usa just because, now I am curious.

It had to at least be double the amount, it was the same weekend last season.

Or triple. I think they have 3 stages? Maybe 4?

Well they're calling it a "year end event" aren't they? Regular competitions/nationals are not "year end events." Year end events generally imply needing a bid to go - Worlds, Summit, US Finals, etc.
