What teams are claiming higher level and competing at lower level? And I would guess they aren't ready to compete at the higher level if this is their first or second competition of the season. They may still be working on those upper level skills and getting them perfected.
Motions Large Coed (Senior Black) moved to open international because it would be much easier to get a bid and we'll most likely win every competition we register for. We loved Worlds last year and we knew that we could get a bid by going open international.
We also have an illegal 3 year old orphaned gymnast from russia.
And we stole our routine from cheer athletics. I downloaded it from you tube.
It was just a mistake. We never registered international and will be large coed level 5 all year long.

I've already called Morton, USASF, ProX Msg Board, and Cheer Athletics. They said Nelson was within the rules because they just changed them today. Looks like everything is legal.
Me, I'm not sure who you are referring to (dropping a level to win) but the Jamz schedule has a few errors (I know of one level three team who is listed mistakenly as level 2). Jamz needs to fix these errors on their website before we all head out, because paying $5 to get an updated correct schedule SHOULD NOT be necessary.
Well there has been to much sarcasm and comedy on here and the pro x boards. I wish there were boards where you could really talk and get some good information without some annoying remark. LOL
Honestly, how difficult can it be to go through the registration forms and put teams in their proper categories on the Jamz schedule? How does one confuse International with Large Co-ed? If you registered Level 3, how hard is it to put you in Level 3 and not Level 2? It's not like this is all done for free, we're paying reg fees to compete. Maybe they do it so you're encouraged to pay for the updated correct schedule... who knows. It's not like there are that many teams to have to list; not compared to other comps. No excuse for it.
A post above mentioned there was at least one level 3 that was listed as level 2, but didn't say which team. Guess we'll find out Sunday. I think the point is that it should not be that difficult to get the correct information, they put these together all the time.
