Does it really matter what it was over?

Thoughts?

Here's a question..... can an athlete compete with a gym at the summit and then turn around and compete with a completely different gym at the D2 summit, and the D2 gym is the gym they have been competing with all season?

Wouldn't be a bad idea

I believe a D2 but the other gym is a D1

So a gym is going out of business and is competing at their last comp this weekend, but the gym owner has already provided USASF athlete numbers to another gym in the area and the athletes from the closing gym have already tried out for summit teams at the "new" gym and have been tentatively...

There was a 4.2 team that tossed in worlds athletes to get a bid as well.

Yes it's legal. They only time it wouldn't be is at a comp like summit where level 3 kids that competed level 3 at the summit could not cross down and compete on a level 1 team as a crossover.

It's different numbers based on the size of the team 5 for large, 3 for medium, 2 for small

In my opinion it is fair. Up until this season the summit had no rule in regards to replacing athletes. You could basically rebuild the entire team from when it was awarded the bid. Most gyms create teams that are strong from the beginning and compete that way throughout the entire season...

thx.....I know there is a great program in AZ just can't think of the name.

I would say that there are great programs with marquis names in those cities. Charlotte has Cheer Athletics with 15 teams, Chicago has ICE, Phoenix has Cheer Central Suns which is a great program, and I'm not sure about Denver.

Once again though...unusual for a gym to charge a "summit registration fee" to an athlete on a team with a paid bid.

I agree, I do feel it has more to do with the number of athletes on the floor at the time the bid was awarded. That way teams that were under the max amount of athletes for that team size couldn't come back later and add more athletes and expect the EP to give more money.

I can assure you that no discussion of summit fees or worlds fees for that matter are discussed nor outlined in the new season packet at the beginning of the season.

I see it now but that makes no sense. The EP just sends a check to varsity for the team based on the number of athletes that competed. So are you telling me that varsity now pockets the extra money if a team replaces 25% of it's team per the guidelines. That the new 7 or 8 athletes have to...

Where did you get that information about the discount only applying to those that competed when the team got the bid? The bid follows the team regardless of the athletes and that information, specifically the sentence you highlighted is no where on the summit website. This contradicts...

Yes 100% sure. It's broken down and says summit registration fee $295. even for a team with a paid bid.

Yes....I'm 100% positive. It's broken down and specifically says summit registration fee $295.

So paying the gym the money seems a little off, especially for a team with a paid bid?
