Next weekend (Nov 18-19) are the first bids that will be given out in the US. Fully Paid Bids: 2 At Large Bids: 4 International Divisions At Large Bids: 2
These are the teams going for bids based on the schedule: http://www.athleticchampionships.com/cities/schedule/atlanta/
Sm Sr All Girl -Premier Asheville Cats -Force Elite All Stars Diablo -Stingrays -Cheer Savannah Senoritas
Lrg Sr All Girl -Kentucky Elite -Cheer Extreme -Stingrays (this is a Jr team competing Sr for a bid) -ALLSTAR Panthers Senior Silver
Lrg Sr Coed Limited -Pro Cheer -Force Elite All Stars Quicksilver -Cheer Extreme
Lrg Sr Unlimited Coed -Kentucky Elite -Cheer Town Altantas Addiciton
International Coed -Stingrays (looks like they are guaranteed a bid since 2 Int'l bids are being given)
Every competition decision is not necessarily based on bids. Why did Cheer Athletics come all the way out to California to compete at USA before there was such things as Worlds. Sometimes people go, just because they want to experience a different venue, city, going against different teams etc.

Based on scores this is how I see the Athletic Championship bids. Of course the 4 At Large bids may get passed down as the season goes on if any of those teams get paid bids. And remember, the Int'l divisions only get At Large (unpaid bids). All of the Sm Sr teams scored in the mid to high 8.0 range.
2 Full Paid Bids: -Georgia All Stars Large Coed (9.69) -Cheer Extreme Small Coed (9.59)
4 At Large Bids: -Kentucky Elite Large Coed (9.50) -Kentucky Elite Large All Girl (9.41) -Stingray Large All Girl (9.22) -Cheer Extreme Large All Girl (9.18)
2 International At Large Bids: -Stingray Open Coed (9.42) -Kentucky Elite Jr Coed (9.30)
