I'm not sure yet. I think I'm not sure when it's proper to use them versus quoting.

Talking to someone earlier today on this. The USASF needs to not only be a governing body, but a logistics company. Handle and organize all the logistics of cheerleading, make it easy, and free to the EP's and Gyms and everyone would want to stay with the USASF. But what do I know?
How do you make it free to EPs and Gyms? Charge the athletes?

Varsity owns the USASF.....and a lot more according to this!! Did my homework!
Agreed and Cosigned!I don't think not offering Worlds bids would have that much of an impact. This year Super Nationals had 422 team. 87 of them were Level 5 and 1 was Level 6. Taking those out, the 334 remaining teams are still the largest event this season and probably would be the 3rd largest regular season event of the year behind Cheersport and NCA, or possible 4th also falling behind Spirit Sports Battle at the Beach. In additional Worlds bids are only offered at 1 of their 80+ events.
Lets say 40 total teams did not attend if they did not offer worlds bids. I think that is a very conservative number, but, anyway:How many teams that went to Super Nationals this year do you think would not go next year because they stopped offering bids to Worlds? Would losing that number of team and not spending the money on the paid bids be a financial gain or loss for JAMfest?
Also, don't forget that a lot of the cheer world will base their schedule on who will be at a certain event. So, if Jammy doesn't offer paid bids, does Top Gun still feel the need to leave sunny Florida for the frozen tundra of Indy. What about all of the programs that go to Jammy bc of programs like TG, WC, CEA, and MD Twisters?
Locally yes, Nationally not so much. Big programs will draw teams because it lends credibility to the competition.I'm betting there are more programs that go to events to AVOID those teams. Believe me, we've experienced that at ACE.
The attraction of bids brings high level teams searching for a paid bid as well as high level teams searching for competition. If there are not bids, the level of competition will be decreased.Even if they do not give out worlds bids, will gyms not continue to send their lower level teams to Jamfest because a win at Jamfest seems more prestegious then other nationals out there? Or you see teams now traveling to competitions that do not give out bids or they already have bids and are still traveling to them, so will they not continue to travel to a big national like Jamfest even without the bids? Top Gun Semi Limited already had a bid and still traveled to Jamfest even though their IOC5 team could not receive a paid bid.

Jamfest's problem should they decide to leave the USASF is going to be finding something to attract the big teams like Worlds. 5-7 years ago, that may not have been a problem, today it will be because Worlds has been established as "THE Competition" for level 5 teams.
