Oh noo so sad to see only twinkles in youth 5. Why are cea, maryland twisters an ece not coming? Or they don't have y5 this season?
Quite a long way to travel and an expense to compete against no one. Sadly if this trend continues maybe the division will be phased out.
 
Wondering if the introduction of Jr 5R has something to do with it?

Or just the financial burden of so many travel comps in one season for younger kids leads gyms to make the decision to cut it?

Financially, it is hard to convince families to finance NCA then UCA then turn around and do Summit. One has to go.
 
I believe many programs aren't attending due to the crazy changes over the last few years. We just 'retired' but our gym was only taking 5s this year. 4 days long plus another weekend for minis (If remember correctly). That's an insane amount of school/work to miss for most people as well as gyms being closed for that amount of time? At a large gym, you tend to have a lot of siblings involved. That's hard when most go to 'regular' NCA then others go to mini NCA at another time. My guess is numbers will be way lower this year due to those changes.
ETA- I can't type on my phone.

Total numbers are right about the same for this year compared to last year. Just different teams than past years I guess.
 
Does anyone know how pricing will work this year? How much for a 2-day, 3-day, 4-day pass? You used to get the entire competition, albeit squeezed into 2 days, for $50. Will it cost $100 for 4 days now? :eek::eek:
