I assume you went to Cheerpower nationals because that's where my daughter got her paid bid from (the other Cheerpower nationals and that's how they do bids) and it was all crazy like that.We went to a competition this weekend where all but 1 paid (I think) and 4 at large were designated to small gym/large gym and certain levels. There were 4 paid and 11 at large. It made it hard to get a bid because you really didn't have many chances due to the distribution process. I believe they gave
-1paid to small gym
-2 paid to large gym
-4th paid went to next high score
-one at large to small gym(level 1/2 combined)
-one at large to small gym (level 3/4 combined)
-one at large large gym level 1
-one at large large gym level 2
-one at large large gym level 3
-one at large large gym level 4
-one at large to highest scoring non worlds level 5 small or large gym.
-4 at larges to next highest scores.
I think they could have cut back a little bit on the definite bids given to certain levels. It didn't leave much room to go onto people that had higher scores. Plus to me it seemed like a lot more given to large gym (might be a little biased because I come from small gym) but to me it seemed like almost the same amount on gyms in small and large gyms but maybe i was wrong I didn't get to see many in that hall.
Except at the comp we went to they divided teams into small / medium/ and large gym and then awarded bids like that.
You say more bids should of went to small gyms at the comp you were at but more bids should of went to large gyms at the Cheerpower nationals we were at.
My daughters team was the highest scoring team of the whole comp (not just large gym) but by almost a whole point.
We luckily got paid, but the second highest scoring team of the whole comp. Laredo large senior 3 also in the large gym division did not get paid because they were also level 3.
However there were teams in small gyms getting passed down bids a week later from this comp with low scores.
It should of went to the highest score. Not divided by gym size of large small and medium ... Like who does medium gym??? Ugh anyways
Luckily Laredo got paid at NCA a few weeks later because they had the highest score for like the whole comp excluding worlds teams.. So the great ones will still find a way to get a bid but honestly they should of got paid at Cheerpower and not been short changed because we were both large gym level 3s.
Let's pay the highest scores please!! Let's not award bid based off of gym size.
