Is it crossing down if it is the exact same level and just a younger age division? I am truly curious as to how others think? I have always considered crossing down to be crossing to a lower level team than another team you are on.
Just the terminology I used this time. I suppose I use it for both crossing down in levels and down in age groups. I've never noticed a pattern in how I've said it but others might be different.
Usually yeah. I don't like that you can cross from Worlds to Summit, however. You could hypothetically medal at Worlds one weekend and win Summit the next. That doesn't sit well with me- I liked how at CEA, NCA was their 'Worlds' for some younger teams (like JE/YE), giving them a more separate distinction.
im curious as to why it doesnt sit well with you, not trying to start an argument. but if the kid is at the age were they can do both, why not. i mean isnt there a limit to how many crossovers you can have do that in order to make it a fair playing field or something.
I don't necessarily mind crossing over to different ages in general. Kids who might fly on a senior team may base/back a junior team. Or they might also fly on the junior team where their experience/stability helps train a new generation of bases.
Oh okay! Sorry, didn't know that! :D
No worries, I actually I had to stop and think when it was first posted too. I normally don't keep up with individual athletes, but I remember it causing a little bit of a discussion on here over Worlds to Summit crossovers.
No one left because Gabi left...but you do have to question things when athletes of their skill levels choose to leave. As far as I know only the three have left...Tyler, Gabi, Dylan in that order ;)
Interesting! I wasn't aware that AR had been cut from Smoed at any point in time. I must have missed that webisode! From what I've seen up until now I think she is actually hanging in there very well!
Oh ok!
