Small Gym B has been around for around 6-8 years. There usually a "less developed" gym/team. They have around 4-6 fulls out of lets say 18 athletes, and all of the stunt groups all do 1 1/2 up to 2-leg extension (They should honestly be Restricted 5). While Big Gym A has been opened for 20+ years and has almost (if not) everyone doing doubles and double ups to 1-leg. Big Gym A usually score higher then Small Gym B so of course Big Gym A wins.
Because everybody that is able to, leaves small gym for big gym so they can be on a worlds team. Well not everybody but quite a few.
I'm curious to see if it really pans out this way. Having been at small gyms for most of cp's cheer life, I don't think the sole problems of smaller gyms is having athletes leave for bigger gyms.
It's not the SOLE problem, but as far as building strong worlds teams, its one of the biggest factors for gyms within a reasonable drive of mega gyms.
Not many I would think, or I should say not anymore.
This makes zero sense. Obviously bigger programs have a better chance of winning, but much of the data you are using is due to some gyms being in business and attending worlds for many years longer than other programs. For the past several years, there have been very few gyms who have multiple worlds titles in a year, particularly in the senior divisions. Gyms who have never or seldom won are winning and globing. Many gyms who aren't mega gyms have teams in the finals. Most athletes WANT to compete against the best, even if they don't end up winning.
