I agree with the thrust of this. Except:
1. The change in performance order from paid last to random must have been announced in an empty conference room. I found out accidentally in March; the owners of GA, Cheer Athletics and CEA found out at the NAB meeting in April. Ordinarily, I would say those are 4 people that stay in pretty close touch with USASF information. If we didn't know, it's very likely others didn't as well.
2. The division split wasn't announced until the schedule came out. Not that I think it's a horrible idea or a great idea, but it wasn't announced in time for anyone to make a decision whether or not to attend Worlds or not.
Transparency is the key. We may all have disagreements on what the rules or procedures should be and we should fight very hard for what we believe is correct.
But once the rules are set; they should stay the same for the entire season. Make changes for the next season if needed.
I would think most would welcome this "change" after all, it did allow six more teams to advance to finals.
