Are you talking about in the senior 5 division? They split it into small, medium, and large when the numbers allow. I don't think that's a change.
No, I need to work on reading better. Lol!

It's according to the number of male members you're allowed.
ETA: I feel like a more accurate term for the divisions would be just keep "International Open Coed" and add "International Open Limited Coed", because total number of athletes allowed is still the same, the emphasis is on limiting the "coed" part.
My cp only has next season left in the junior team [emoji17] makes me sad! She missed the cut off age by a month

The bottom age is why I question the Jr R5. If the senior age had changed to 13 or 14 then Junior Restricted would make perfect sense. But if a 10 year old can be on a restricted team then having a junior restricted is basically a duplicate division with the exception of a few under 10 kids with level 5 skills.I can see jR5 being a thing here. Like, gyms may not have enough kids to have unrestricted youth or junior teams, and those kids are often too young for senior teams (although, less so with the bottom age remaining 10).

My bet is you are going to see a lot of gyms with a Junior 5R and a Senior 5R and there will be more than 50% crossovers between the 2 teams.

I think most kids who r of age, would want a sr 5 over jr R5 for the chance to go to Worlds. If given the choice.
Basically the size ("small" & "large") indicated the number of athletes allowed, while the limit ("limited", "semi-limited" & "unlimited") indicated the number of males that were allowed. I liked it because it was very systematic, for e.g. Large (36) limited (4 boys) coed, small (20) limited (4 boys) coed or large (36) semi-limited (6? 8? 12? boys, can't remember) coed..... but there really were waaaaay too many divisions.Small coed and Large coed in college are both based on the number of guys, but the max team size is still 20. So I prefer sticking with small/large in that regard. But I can see why it's confusing when comparing it with naming conventions in the lower divisions.
ETA: But I never really paid attention to the non-open divisions when it was limited/semi-limited, so that naming convention has always confused me.
...I think she meant Senior 5 restricted.
