All-Star Summit Bid Winners 2015

[CoachMandiCF]

Want to talk about frustrating... Spirit of Hope declared to us (before anyone hit the mat) that no paid bids were going to Youth teams. My CPs Y3 and Y5 teams are after that single purpose right now. Try went out and KILLED IT, and can't get rewarded. And of the at large bids, only 2 out of ten went to Youth teams.... And both were given out BEFORE our Youth 5 even went out on Sunday. If they want a Y5 division at Summit, these teams are going to need to get bids.

Where was this announcement made? In the coaches meeting or on their bid declaration?

It was told to a coach during check in when coaches had to sign Summit Bid declarations.

I was wondering where those other 2 bids were. Thanks!

Did your Y3 get one of the at large bids?

@CEA_ATC my daughter is also on a lg Y3 and I realized pretty quickly at our first comp that it would take divine intervention to get a summit bid. This is not a reflection on her fantastic and talented team, but a reflection on the odds of us overcoming all of the amazing older teams out there. Even just the ones in our gym alone are daunting enough.

I'd like to see them do it by age group, but it seems hard to make it fair any way you slice it as long as you're giving out so few bids.

Honestly I don't really know what the answer is, I just share your frustration.

At least with Y5 the amount of teams you have to outscore is smaller. I feel like our Y5 has a great chance to get a bid.. But sometimes I do wish we all had a few extra chances.

You are totally right and Varsity needs to give some direction because they can not list this as a contest of the best Youth, Junior and Senior athletes (which is how they describe this event) at each level and then not give bids to Youth athletes at those levels. Either change the event or give guidance to EPs giving out bids to the event guidance to make it truly represent what they say.

Well at the comp we went to

Last year their declaration said no level 1 or 2 can get a paid bid - only AL. My daughters j2 got a bid but not eligible for paid because of their declaration

This year they just said the top two teams will get a paid bid

And it went to our youth 2
And cheer athletics youth 1.

Not that these are upper level youth teams that yall are talking about but they are youth age teams out scoring juniors and seniors


I think the bids should always go to the top score no matter what.
If that means y3, y4, and y5 teams aren't outscoring junior/senior 3,4,&5s then they should not get the bids.

If only one y5 team or one y4 team gets a bid than that means they probably earned the summit title.

They should not pick and choose who gets the bids.. It should always be solely off score. If they wanted the same amount of people in the divisions and filled divisions that way when handing out bids then it would mean the better team isn't always given the bid.

It would kind of be like at worlds when the intl divisions limit the teams per country and teams from other countries with lesser scores make it through over better teams.
