Calling it an easy win and a training wheels division is, at best, one hell of a reach.
Teams like MACS, GBE, Vision, Desert Storm, and Champion Cheer are the teams eligible for this division. Teams who consistently make top 10 and have at one time or another globed.
Saying this division is going to be a cake walk is ridiculous, there are multiple gyms who have been in finals or who have globed in the past who will be eligible for this division. They have proved time and again they can hold their own, so let's not talk about them like they're sally and suzy's back yard worlds team.
The winner of these divisions will be strong teams that might have been extremely competitive in their Small division counterparts. However, if the division is purposely shielded from the larger programs, it is less competitive and easier to win than if it were open to everyone. That is not true in the other Worlds divisions. That certainly doesn't make it a cakewalk, but some will mentally attach an asterisk to that title. There are tons of competitions that are hard to win, but we don't crown them World Champions. People can be upset about that, but you either open it to everyone or it gets viewed with at least a tiny bit of side-eye. You can't have it both ways.
Even if it were the other way around and you could ONLY enter if you had multiple teams at Worlds, it would still be viewed negatively, IMO.
