INT_SUMMIT.pdf This is the list of Summit bid events for the IASF divisions. It looks like 28 of the 46 bid events take place in the US. Will international teams using the new IASF divisions really travel to a different country just for a bid?
I thought Canadian teams can come to US for bids?I wonder if they'll limit teams/gyms to only obtain bids in their home country. Or is that already a thing, like with Worlds bids?
(Looks like the Varsity takeover of ATC has benefited the west coast of Canada. 2 new bid competitions in BC, and more bids offered in Alberta and BC competitions.)
Ok help me out (maybe I need more caffeine).
On this document https://varsity.com/uploads/editor/files/PDFS/AllStar/18/Summit/IASF_Divisions_Summit_FAQ.pdf
It says the following:
Can international teams from other countries get a bid in the US?
Canadian teams are the only teams allowed to receive bids at Varsity All Star events in the United States. International teams will be eligible to receive bids from our designated Varsity All Star International events and Partner Events.
So does this mean all those international bids being given at US events can only go to US teams or Canadian teams? So technically I could take my one team of 16 from PA and enter the IASF division? If as another poster up thread wrote that 28 of the bids are being given out on US soil that isn't very international to me.
I didn't think any of the non-tumbling divisions were added? Only the 11 divisions listed.So this means that non-tumbling teams will also be Summit champs. This seems so un-all starish to me.
I'm confused! Will teams that win Summit bids at events outside the US only be able to compete in the international divisions? It's been possible to win bids at Jamfest Europe for a couple of years, in fact a British team won the J1 division at Summit this year.
CP's gym have been talking about trying for Summit bids for certain teams that have been very successful here in the UK, the idea being that they want to compete against the very best. I'm not sure that an international division would necessarily give the level of competition.
Most UK teams are on usasf age grids too.
New Zealand and Australia have followed the USASF age grid up until this point. The IASF age grid is brand new and doesn't reflect what we have been using at all.That’s the UK though, there are plenty of teams in Europe, Australia and South America who use the IASF grid. I think it’s a good starting point, personally.
Will a lot of teams want to make that trip? That is my question.
