I voted against the EIN for this reason: I think that there is a better way
We have to register all of our athletes with the USASF anyways next season, so why not define a "program" within that registration system. Then it is set for the year, if you're large you're large if you're small you're small, if you include all of your locations then they are all included if you want them separate then register it separately either way you're set for the season.
(unless of course you're a border line small gym and your numbers fluctuate)
EIN's can change whenever the lawyers and the owners decide to change things, or you could have the parent company over the smaller companies and pick and choose which EIN to go with.
CGACheer... I am quoting you not because I don't agree with you but rather because I have a question about this whole small/large EIN program/team thing. SO..... if (as in your example) Giant Allstars up in Alaska (ok totally a made up name) with 8 locations but decides to list each separately (separate EIN or whatever) Can Giant then cross compete athletes between their 8 locations or does the use of separate EIN (or however they define/register program) prevent that? I'm just thinking is Giant Allstars Sitka really a "small team" if they are able to select athletes for their level 4 team from all 8 gym locations? And does it matter whether they DO select or fill in athletes from all 8 locations or whether they don't (but have the ability to?) Just some thoughts....
