In the small/gym large gym thread I asked for examples of gyms taking advantage. I got plenty, but they all included event producers that made a mistake, don't do any research even for big name gyms to properly place small vs large gym categories, or actually had rules that allowed it.
Like many other rules, it will be up to the event producers to follow through on enforcement.
Oh I know... I didn't mean for this question to even touch on that whole topic... Rather I am trying to understand whether this whole EIN thing really will change anything when it comes to how gyms/programs define themselves. I guess I am wondering if this passes will it mean that multi gym locations using the same name and having the ability to share athletes can also have separate EIN numbers? So there is a gym near here that has two locations and two slightly different names (example Spirit West and Spirit East). They have separate teams and then for the level 5 teams they combine athletes. So at a comp you would see Spirit West, Spirit East and Spirit Supreme. Will the whole EIN number definition change the way they are able to form teams? Will they be able to still have "Supreme" (which is a combination of athletes on West and East) if West and East are separate EINs (accounting etc. done separately)
Ultimately what I am asking (distinct from small/large) is if multiple locations run using separate EINs... can they combine athletes???
