Okay but what does it matter if they are using level 100 tumblers on a NT team? There's NO TUMBLING. Your ability to tumble doesn't affect your ability to stunt. I can't even do walkovers, but I can base any level you throw at me, both sides..
I don't know if it's just me being international and used to battle uphill constantly, and I've just sorta accepted it or what.. Did GCO wildcats have to work their asses off for pretty much a decade to even have a chance to take bronze at worlds? Ya bet ya. Did they do it? YES. Did they complain? No. They went up against GT, Viqueens, Flyers, Cali, Dolphins, big gyms, small gyms, international gyms.. They don't have sprung floor, I'm not even sure they have an airtrack.. But here they are, back to back bronze champions! If you buckle down and work hard with what you have, you'll get there.
I get it's frustrating that people leave and you feel like you'll never get to where mega gyms are, but they didn't start out like that either. So what if a mega gym has a team in XS? For example, did you see CEA X5 at worlds? A tiny team with big dreams, they don't really benefit from their name, they're still a tiny team, if they had more people with level 5 skills I'm sure they'd add them.. Why should they not get to compete XS? It's just another team size!
How can you be world champs if not everyone is allowed to participate? It's already hard for internationals teams to even get a bid, let alone in the senior divisions, now you don't even want all of the US to participate? It's just like how a lot of sports leagues over there, like the NFL, declare their champions world champs.. But they don't compete against the world.
Don't hate me, I've just seen this topic discussed on so many forums/in so many groups, and wanted to give my international perspective on it. Always being an underunderunderunder dog and never having the same opportunities and conditions to work with.
