Why can't I edit my original post? Must have something to do with time restrictions. Anyway, I have clarification of teams going for bids this weekend. Most assume Top Gun will walk away with the paid bid. I think this is their last chance at a bid.

Thank you Tamara. I was feeling lonely. I found this competition interesting because of Georgia and Top Gun going head to head. This was Top Gun's last shot at a bid. I'm sure most thought it was a given. But Georgia changed their routine and came out on day 1 ahead of Top Gun. Now, even if Georgia would have won, Top Gun still would have received some type of bid. So I guess it wasn't as nail biting as I'm trying to make it. I just found it interesting to see these top teams go head to head right before Worlds.
And of course there is the question going around the cheer world now about who gets the at large bids that Cheer Tyme has been turning down. I decided not to follow that or post info because at this point I am so done for the season.
Bring on Worlds....PLEASE!!!! And I am relying on all you great board fans to keep us posted...on an hourly basis. So don't forget us poor folks sitting at home. We want to know who makes it through to finals, how everyone performed, who are the outstanding international teams (non-US) etc....

I have a "call" into Steve at USASF to see if they know of any non-US Jr teams going to Worlds. I'll let you know if I get a response. My intuition says probably not, and that is why USASF is moving the Jr division out of Int'l divisions next year.
