All-Star Additional Paid Bid

Pretty sure they did the same thing last year.

How come one of the original at large bids did not move up to a paid bid?

Someone posted the scores on twitter and Supermodels were next in line score-wise for paid. They already had an at-large bid.

Sounds familiar. Think they awarded and extra one a day or two after the event.

NCA has done this as well. It happens when a mistake is made..

Not necessarily. The number of bids an EP can give can increase based on attendance. They are given a set number at the beginning of the season based on past number, but have the option to increase it based on current year numbers.

I just wish EP's were upfront about how many bids they are giving away and how they will give them out, when these issues come up, especially days later it looks shady.

Yes... they know very close to the actual number of competitors at least a week or two before the event so at that time it would makes sense for them to announce additional bids.... idk...

This is what happened with USA. We weren't passed down a bid, they were given additional bids based on attendance!

Im just happy for American, with the performances they had this weekend they deserved a paid.
