But it would be an international competition where the BEST teams are in finals... All the countries would still be able to compete in semis but it would be solely by score that teams advanced. I don't see how that's not international. They competed, they just weren't good enough to make finals. It's not fair that you can be "top 10 in the world" when teams like TG OO5 and CheerForce Nfinity aren't.... IMO today's placements mean WAY more than finals placements because you're actually placing where you deserve to.I know we have this discussion every year but it really is an interesting one.
Like, can we really call it an 'international' division if it's all American and Canadian teams? Because let's be real, if it were just the highest scores, it would be mostly Americans. If you ask me, that's not an 'international' competition. Just like the Super Bowl isn't a 'world championship' since they're all Americans...
I'd even be okay with sending at least one team from each country to finals and then beyond that just top 10. That way other countries would be represented but the top ten would still be true top 10. Plus then you have to be the best in your country at least.
