All about the money

 I really don't think it's about money, i think it's about making it fair.

because there were quite a few of these teams in the small coed division, and it wasn't fiar to them to have like 10 less kids on the floor than all the other teams, and a VER FEW amount of them even made it through to finals.

 

So to be quite honest i think it's a good idea.

The way i see it is, if your good your good no matter how many people you have on the team

This is very true. However, you can be amazing but are limited to what you can do because of the amount of kids you have on the team, and in the end if you're going to be judged on the same scale as teams with larger squads but cant do what they can do it just doesn't seem all that fair.
