3. There just aren't that many kids that do open teams. I know that this isn't an argument that I can back up with numbers or anything, but in a lot of areas it's hard to get even enough kids together to make up an open 6 team. Few gyms would be able to field both an open 6 and an open 4 team. So do you bump the lower level kids up to 6 or bump the higher level kids down to 4?
Same things smaller gyms all over the country do with their seniors. You put your kids at the highest level that you think they'll be competitive at. if you have 15 level 4's and 5 level 6's then you'd probably go open 4
We only have one Sr team and we place it according to where the majority of the kids are. So we have a Sr3 with a few kids working their fulls, a couple of kids who just got their back handspring and the majority with round off bhs tucks
