Sorry if I'm 'behind the times' or if I just missed a thread explaining this, but I was hoping someone could explain why teams do this? I've been seeing this more and more and I just don't get it, like if I had a shot to go to worlds, oh my god I'd take it in a heartbeat... So why do teams...
Is there a set number or cap of paid bids per level and age group?
I noticed several levels have 5 paid bids - like level 2 small senior for instance.
Seems like several categories already have 5. I was just wondering if that was a magic number or cap.
Could you please tell me if a team already has, let's say an at large bid at a competition, and they are in the top half in line to receive another bid (at large, partial, or paid) does the bid get moved to the next team in line? I hope that makes sense.
I can't find any info on NCA/Varsity sites.. I heard that J5's are only eligible for an at large bids in Dallas. Is that true? Something about J5's being able to do world's level skills?? It didn't make much sense to me. Also do they compete against all 5's for bids.. Youth 5 and Junior 5 or are...
Are EPs required to post bid declarations on website? Viewing the "road to worlds" some have them and others don't. If not, are bids distributed at the EPs discretion?
So I'm new to coaching a competition high school squad. We have Regionals on Saturday and I'm a little bit stressed!!! Here's my question...how do bids work? Is it a minimum score or a placement or do most squads get them? Thanks!!!!!
