All-Star 2014 Nca All-star Nationals

you all know i am 200% biased for world cup (but i kind of would love for them to give a little insight) but at the same time, i kinda get it. traditionally, WC sends levels 4 and up to NCA. so sometime in the summer, i'm sure, they registered all of the teams that they were planning on sending. the season progressed and they weren't making the strides that they had hoped so they dropped. i am not sure what they are doing after NCA (they aren't on the UCA schedule as of today, so they could be done with the season for all i know) i do know that all of WC's true level 3 teams will be attending the summit and they're awesome. i think that's the part that gets me. They don't normally send 3's but since they were competing in that division anyway, had they sent supersonics, they probably would have been much more successful. if they stay level 3 i am not bothered... if they go back up to 4 i, too, will give them the side eye.

i wish that worlds/summit bids could be revoked for teams competing in lower divisions for nationals yet still attending worlds or the summit in the higher division. (but a loophole would be to say the entire team crosses over to the lower team) one day i hope there is a system for this. a girl can dream i guess...
It seems kind of impossible for them to stay L3 because then WC would have 2 teams in the LJ3 division so they wouldn't be able to attend any of the same competitions for the rest of the year, unless they don't care.

no idea... but as of now the original LJ3 will be at UCA and Starburst will not. not sure who goes to One Up (if anyone other than 5's?) and the original LJ3 has the summit. Starburst could be finished for the season or have comps i don't know about... guess we'll find out. maybe they'll get lucky and have separate schedules since they planned their schedule as a 4?

Level 3 and up is going to Nashville

Not if the plan was to drop levels only for NCA and go back to L4 after. Shady Shay all the way, Idc what place you get.

You know I am new to WC, but in asking most of the people who have been with the organization this might be an enigma and never happened before... Most people outside of WC might think I am bias, but considering how early we received our schedules,,, I truly believe that many of the parents for this team had put out huge dollars and already scheduled hotels and flights,,, so possibly to mitigate the damage and the athletes' feelings decided to go this route... I truly do not believe any underhanded shenanigans is going on here and personally knowing these hardworking athletes and parents they are making the best of an unusual and unfortunate situation... These athletes should be uplifted and encouraged because this got to be more difficult for them to not know what the rest of their season is going to be like...Only saying!!!

Say away. You'll notice I withheld any judgement at all in the beginning. It wasn't until after I found out they planned to return to L4 after NCA that I said boo. Even if their intentions were to do it to raise funds for the point flyers dog dying of some terrible doggie disease I wouldn't think it was ok.
Saving these kids feelings by trying to give them a better shot at winning a prestigious title in a division beneath their ability level is NOT ok no matter how much money has been invested or hotel rooms booked. I know the other teams in that division certainly paid a lot of money, booked hotels rooms and have a lot of feelings too.
Drop a level if it's needed. That's fine if you're going to stay there. But don't take someone else's 6th place (or 50th place) because you needed a confidence boost and didn't want to "waste" time and money in a division you couldn't win. It just screams to me that other people's time, money and efforts don't matter.

That is my point Cupie, you heard they were planning to return to J4, but even that is uncertain and possibly untrue, these young athletes whole season is up in the air and I did not want anybody to think that I equated that the parents putting out huge money or given these athletes a confidence booster justify anything... Forget it, I am going to walk away from this conversation...Y'all believe what you want!:banghead:
 
Can I just say that is straight up insanity taking a team of 21 into that division? They don't split that division so Starz will be facing a fully loaded Redemption, Spice, WC, and ACE. I understand the whole "David and Goliath" idea but damn.
Weakest link becomes alternate, and go full team into small.

I'm not sure if you saw because I know you are on my Facebook, so yes it may be stupid to go large with only 21 girls but we got second. So not the worst idea, and beat out several of those teams. We also had the second highest raw score both days so we didn't just get second by default.. We earned it! So proud of my queen cobras!

No one has any issue with them dropping to J3. Sometimes you realize a move like that is necessary...

...as long as they finish their season in J3.

X5 is competing in large senior 5 this weekend. I'm sure they're trying to get one of the 2 paid bids.

Ok, I'll be the one to say it. If you finish 6th in restricted you probably don't deserve full paid in large senior. #fireaway

Saw that. Congrats.


Why yes, I am a parent. Thank you for noticing.

Knowing some of the very talented Supersonics, those kids are who I actually feel for. They are a pretty beast team in that division and to watch another team within your organization compete in it had to be hard. Had they dropped to a division the gym didn't have (which level wise they don't) or even to small, I personally feel that may have went over only slightly better. My cp felt terrible for the supersonics saying that it looked like they were not as good as the j4 to possibly win in Dallas. I'd imagine the rest of the season will be interesting around there.
