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.The part above that said you will receive that discount only for those athletes that performed on the team.
I read it differently. Years ago at our gym we have an athlete not perform due to injury. We did not fill her spot with a fill in because it wasn't super necessary all stunts and pyramids could still go up.
Anyways that team earned a paid bid that competition. But we could not get the paid for her because we had 26 on the floor and not 27. So her mom had to pay, we learned the lesson and won't do that again.
So maybe they just meant the numbered of rostered athletes? Idk
But I can confirm since I'm in charge of managing the gym one and I'm the one who had to roster every single athlete in our gym so they could go in and register and pay. The few athlete changes this year the bid did transfer with the team.
We moved some kids from our r5 that had a paid bid to the worlds team that was paid. Once we dropped those from our r5 I rostered the replacement athletes. One who came back from a previous season, not from a team in our gym. I added her to the roster after deleting the others and I can see she was applied the paid bid credit.
