Date: Fri Dec 1 12:12 PM, 2006

What divisions? Limited Coed (Diamondz), Jr Int'l (Alcatraz), Open Coed Int'l (Rockiez?)

Date: Fri Dec 1 12:26 PM, 2006

What about Georgia Allstars?

TBA - means that there is a scheduled team that will be performing in that time slot, however, the team either needs to "complete" the registration forms, thoroughly, or they need to send in their registration fees. In the end, there will be teams performing in those positions.

I know. I was asking if Cheerforce and WC Mavericks were one of the teams to be announced or if they were not going.

Can someone else confirm if I am reading how American Grand will be handing out bids?

Based on the awards schedule it looks like they will be giving 1 paid bid and 2 unpaid bids between Small Sr and Limited Coed. Then 1 paid bid and 2 unpaid bids between Large Sr and Unlimited Coed.

Okay, I think I answered my own question. At 4:30 they will announce division winners for Small All Girl and Limited Coed. But they won't announce the bids until 9:30 after they announce division winners for Large All Girl and Unlimited Coed. I would assume then that the 2 bids would go to the highest scores, no matter what division you are in.

"TBA" means you've registered, but not paid. If you haven't registered (ie, filled out the paperwork), they wouldn't know you're coming to put a TBA slot for each of your teams.

Going against them for a bid . So this means they could also go Jr. int.

Can't wait to see where CF coach puts his Jr team (Sr or Int'l) and if they bring Rockiez to compete in Int'l Coed.

Also anxious to see the rest of the schedule to see who else is coming.

I asked this last year but got no response so I'll ask again...

CA Jags competes as a Jr Coed team with 1 guy. How does that guy feel when he isn't allowed to compete on his team for a Worlds bid? And why do they have Jags compete during the season as Jr Coed instead of Sm Sr? Is there no other team for this guy? Or is he on one of the Sr Coed teams too?

I just find it interesting how different gyms create teams differently for the season and then change it for a bid to Worlds. I'm not saying its wrong, I just would like to know the rational behind these kinds of decisions.

I am guessing that any gym that has a team or teams that have a worlds bid or win a worlds title is going to have new growth for the next season. So having the jags compete in a division where they can win a paid bid is a good business decision.
Even gyms like CA still have to consistantly build a customer base every year. As far as the guy on jr's feels he is probably ok with it by now.

Wlds Sr Ltd Cd Lvl 5
-KC Cheer (33)
-Arizona Heat Elite (30)
-Brandon (33)
-Team To Be Announced This is probably West Coast M avericks

My guess for this division for national champion would be between Ga and CF.
