Being able to say you have a worlds qualifying team may attract customers, but once those customers understand what that really means and what that team should look like their decision might change.
I personally think a lot of these teams will benefit from attending worlds. I know it opened my daughters eyes. Her first gym did local competitions most of the time and rarely had anyone competing against them. Once she qualified for worlds she and I both came to the same conclusion, there is making it to world and there is competing at worlds. Lots of teams make it there but very few are there to compete.
Gym owners take a risk. Getting to worlds maybe just the thing that makes a kid decide they don't just want to just get to worlds they want to be on a team that will make it to day 3.
