My CP retired last year but our best friends still cheer. In our experience the value of winning nationals/summit bids depends on how the gym handles it.. The gym CP started with only accepted paid Summit bids. It made every competition feel meaningless if one of those paid bids didn't come to...
As a former Gunz parent whose CP was on the last 3 years, from the beginning of the small coed journey I have to say seeing Team Gunz globe was by far my favorite moment. I am so happy for CJA!!!

But again, that isn't their decision. I am pretty certain a team can not decide to just compete in a division if you do not have that number of athletes at a Varsity event. Are you suggesting that they now should add an athlete, forfeit their bid and compete in small because their other Worlds...
My feelings on it:
USASF and Varsity did not work on this together nor think it through. To me, this is their compromise to having a D2 Worlds division (which would solve this whole problem). I 100% support having a division that is for small gyms but until it is called that, D2, that is not...
