I would like to see a rule where a gym had to register the team's division before a certain date (say Oct 15 or before the first bid events). Allow for 1 change during the season, but the gym would have to file a request for the change with an explanation why and the request would have to be approved.
Yes it may result in a missed comp or being "stuck" in a division you can't perform well in, but that's the way things work sometimes. We don't need to have rules that let teams do whatever they want to win a comp each week. In cheer and other sports my kids have forfeited games or withdrawn from comps, played with not enough players or competed with a hole in stunts due to a lack of subs , creamed their competition, and been creamed by their competition. That's the nature of competitive sports. It teaches lessons and builds character.
As for soccer tournaments, you can request the division you want, but you also have to send in your league standings and previous tournament results and the tournament director places the team in the division they think is best. You can petition to move, but your final division placement is at the discretion of the director.
