I've seen it handled in a matter where the EP will move this team to an International-aged division if they find out beforehand

If you are a minor and traveling with your parent you do not need to show a government id to fly. At least my daughter has not needed to show any id to board a plane.I know in Missouri you can get one for $11 because I had looked into getting one to open a checking account without it being connected to my parents before I got my permit.
My daughter has never required one and she's flown 6 times...4 of them to O'HareI had to one time. I was flying from Vegas to my cities airport and I had to show ID. I was maybe 10 at the time.
(Wish people wouldn't put words in others mouths) But Never said like a bouncer, I said such as the airport does... or if they want to go in the bouncer route the process would be, take ID away from them, (so there goes the routine for that team for trying to cheat bc they won't be able to go back stage or on the floor), then if the law takes it further to the courts there could be a Fine or a Federal offense dropped on them. I would never want someone to go to jail but that would be their choice if they wanted to try and get by professionals.Just making sure I understand, you want the TSA to come to cheerleading competitions and check ID's like a bouncer at a night club, and then, if the ID is a fake throw them in jail?
That happened to us last year. A team used a 20 yr old that used to cheer on my Worlds team 2 years prior. I had the proof, contacted the USASF and there was NOTHING they could do to that gym. The reason given to me was "They aren't a USASF gym." So yes they cheated and there was nothing they could do to them. My solution that I offered was simple. If gyms compete at any USASF Competition company then they must be a registered USASF gym. Then they could enforce and penalize gyms that cheat.
Which isn't a bad solution, but is hinged on the fact that there would need to be the system in place to track all athletes at each gym AND that compete at each competition. You must get each EP to agree to this as well as each gym. Around half of the EP's right now and at least a good portion of the gyms would never agree to this.
So, we're told to give them proof, they get proof, and still do nothing about it. I don't think its a matter of being a member of anything or not. If you can prove that someone is illegal, they should be disqualified. The USASF and any other EP's that allow this....SUCK IT UP and do what is right instead of wimpering in the corner.
This is a call to all 19-25 year olds....maybe even 30 if you still look like a teen! COME ON BACK to your Sr 5 team!!!! Doesn't matter, no one will have the guts to really do anything about it!
I think the gym should have to pay for the real winners to get rings.Probably just strip them of their title if there was undeniable proof. The rings themselves would be hard to track down, but would be themselves meaningless anyways if it wasn't a real win.
