Thanks!
Makes me very happy that our gym said they would not accept W/C bids! I would love for CP to attend the Summit but not that way - too much money, time away from work and school being just a few small factors for that "experience". We do have one more chance at Cheer Power in Columbus next month for bids, but it will be a battle because that is a big/tough competition in this area. Luckily CP is only 10 so she's has a few more years for the opportunity.
There is a small percentage of teams that go to Summit/worlds because they can say they r going. I have seen teams at Worlds that make me cringe watching them. Good luck to your team!I have to respectfully disagree. My cp's team earned a WC at their very first comp this year. We were coming off a rough season the year before with a lot of injuries and disappointing showings at some comps. They busted their butts all summer, have an amazing, maxed-out routine, and took first, best of level, and the bid at that comp. They have been first or second at every comp since, even now that we are at the bigger comps that give AL and paid bids. Our team was SO excited to get that bid! The gym and parents decided that since we had so much time to plan, fundraise, and work before May...we'd give our athletes this chance. They are beyond motivated, and can't wait to prove themselves at the prelims. They also are killing themselves trying to upgrade to paid...we've been close, but not yet. It is wonderful to watch how motivated this has made them, and it is a little insulting that some people think it is all about status or moms saying that "my kid went to Summit." In our area, 95% of our social circle has absolutely no idea what the Summit is, or Worlds either for that matter. Everyone's kid is involved in some high level sport or another, they are all doing their own thing...no one really cares unless they are in cheer. This is all about our kids and their quest...no matter what happens that 1st weekend in May we are very proud. And truly, as I keep telling cp...what better place for a Cinderella story than WDW?So please, it would be kind if people on here could refrain from making the athletes and families that accept these bids feel like vapid morons!
I agree! Nice and even distributing. Were there ANY non-worlds level 5s? Thinking Action's j5??? Anyway, I'm sure they could have been lumped with the 4s, if there were.
Eta: you don't know who the 3rd level 3 team was, do you?...just curious.

Not necessarily. According to varsity reps, a week after registration deadlines pass, teams are contacted if they have not registered. They are given a week to register after contact and then the bid is released. For a WC it goes away. For an AL or Paid it is passed down. So the list does not have completely accuracy for WC recipients.
I would assume since registration for November through January events has passed, the majority of teams listed would be attending for WC. I don't have an earlier version to see how many have been added since Jan 31. The February registration deadline is in March.
Can I reference this post after summit 15?
