I agree completely. I have been thinking about this a lot since a local gym near us just got a passed down at large bid and they have like 3 fulls total on their lvl 5 team. How is that fair to the parents paying all that money to go down there, that their kids do not have a hope and a prayer of making it past prelims. But apparently someone somewhere is making money off these teams. And I guess some people want the experience of going to World's even though they know they can't possibly make it to finals. I just hope their gym owner is honest with them and doesn't let them go down there believing their team is competitive.There really needs to be a minimum score requirement or something to stop Worlds from becoming so watered down. We all know that there are other comps that are closer to Worlds that give even the last place team a bid. What kind of accomplishment is it to consistently go to Worlds and never have a shot at making the finals? That's just a trip to Disney!
