We aren’t going to majors but we are attending another worlds bid comp.
We replaced the kids who are going to HS nationals and they have fill-ins.
The only risk they take when doing that, is they are told they may not go back in immediately. We compete again next weekend and those kids won’t be plugged back in until there is a break and multiple practices between comps to work them back in.

Makes sense. I am getting better at sharing kids between programs but I always tell people that I can't guarantee you a spot right back in. You also create an avenue for me to see if someone else can do your spot better than you if it happens all the time. Which is why I suggest that girls not try out for my team if they are probably going to miss more than one comp and more than 25% of our game schedule, and can't attend at least 2 of 3 practices every week.
I had a girl really struggle with the fact that she missed every other game, half the practices, and our regional comp, then was not included on the mat at our national. She was just, NEVER there. When she was there she struggled because there were changes that she did not know about. An alternate was always her fill in at those pre-comp practices, then took her spot at regionals. Once her all star season died down (I think she was on a half season team), she thought she was coming right back in. No.
Sidenote @TheVipersMom is your girl on your worlds team this year and I missed it?!
