OMG!!!! I just realized that the way they have it set up for the bids, that both teams in the Large All Girl automaticly get bids no mater what?? and the same with CA Unlimited? No mater what they do they will get bids even if teams from Small all girl and Limited Coed have higher scores? I don't think that is fair at all. They may want to rethink this breakdown. huh?

Why is CA competing in a bid division when this team is not going to worlds ? I have friends on this team that have told me they are not going to worlds. So why be in this division at all ?

I never really understood how the whole "going for a bid" vs. "not going for a bid" thing worked. Does the division itself identify who will be going for a bid...or does each team within a division identify their intention to go for the bid, i.e ABC All Stars (World's Bid), DEF All Stars (World's Bid), HIJ All Stars (X)? (hope that wasn't a confusing question)

At American Championships they have "Worlds" divisions and regular divsions for all Level 5 teams. If your going for a bid you would compete in the "Worlds" division. If your not you would be in the regular divison. As an example for this weekend CF Alcatraz is not going for the bid in the Junior Coed division so instead they are competing in the regular Junior Coed division. Did that make sense?

Sure does. Thanks!

I think I will go against the grain and not pick the usual suspects.

Junior 5
1. OC All Stars
2. AZ Power Xtreme
3. California All Stars
4. Pride Athletics Jaguars
5. Cheerz Infinity
6. SCV All Stars
(OC beat California at the last competition, and I think AZ Power is on the rise!)

Junior Coed 5
1. California AS
2. Desert Storm Elite
(I think CA takes this one but I'm guessing it will be close)

Small Senior 5
1. AZ Power Xtreme
2. Cheerforce Diamondz
3. California AS
4. OC All Stars
5. Pride Athletics Lions
6. Magic
7. Victory Cheer
8. Fierce
9. Cheerz Odyssey
(Again, I think AZ Power Xtreme is on the rise. I think Diamondz edges out CA but barely)

Large Senior 5
1. Desert Storm Elite
2. Arizona Heat Elite
(I think Desert Storm is heading back to World's and will do well)

Small Sr Ltd Coed 5
1. CheerForce
2. California AS
3. AZ Power Xtreme
4. Stealth
(I don't know if CA is crossing over everyone, but if not, then I think Cheerforce takes this one.)

Sr Unlimited Coed 5
1. California AS
(And will walk away with the paid for coed)

Intl Open Coed 5
1. CheerForce Outlawz
2. Pride Athletics Jungle Cats

Predict away!

I dont know about you guys but i think the whole bid break down is pretty LAME! I think it should go by scores

I agree, LAME!!!!!! 1 paid and 3 at large for the Senior All girls and 1 paid and 1 at large for the Coed?? Shouldn't the paid bids go to the two highest scoring teams no matter what division they are in? Then the at large to the 4 next highest scoring teams? This doesn't seem right to me.

the bid breakdown totally isnt fair. what if one team scores higher than another that recieves a bid just cause theyre in different divisions. im sure this has already been adressed but still.. wow. you guys are right. LAME and UNFAIR
