Right now for the D2 Summit they can only compete on 2 teams maximum. Unfortunately I'm not 100% sold that the level rule would work for true D2 gyms. There seems to be quite a few gyms that don't have all levels...for example they may have a J2 and a Sr4 with a couple crossovers between the teams. If both teams gets bids which team loses their teammates? The crossover issue is another great debate that seems to be more prevalent to D2 gyms. I know our gym does not go to NCA because of the crossover rulesI agree. I would be fine with them keeping the current D1 crossover rules for D2 (no more than 2 teams, no more than one level up or down), then making D1 just like NCA rules. Same level, no more than 5 per team, still max 2 teams. And Worlds crossovers only to J5 for D1, but keeping current rules for D2. I believe the only difference between the 2 right now is that D1 you can only go up or down one level, where there's no limit for D2.
PS: Are there gyms that put athletes on 5 teams? The max is 3 at one comp, but I guess they could schedule different teams to go to different ones, but that seems insanely complicated.
