Vizion 20/20 medaled at Worlds more than once. Their highest medal was silver. They only had one Worlds team. Unfortunately the gym no longer exist.

So, we slice the 6/7 pie into ever smaller slices. It's not going to make there magically be more 6/7 level kids.
Honestly, wouldn't it make more sense to add lower open level teams so that small gyms that may not have a worlds team can offer, say, an open 3/4 for kids who don't make a college team, or even an open 1 or 2 for cheer parents who think it might be fun to try?
I have so many issues with this, but one of the biggest ones is reusing a division name that used to exist with a totally different meaning. I know its been almost 10 years since those divisions existed, but it still annoys me.
Yep. Limited=4, semi-limited=12, then unlimited. With limited broken down into small and large.That confused me too because I recall limited meaning something related to number of boys.
the small small days. I don't miss that confusionYep. Limited=4, semi-limited=12, then unlimited. With limited broken down into small and large.
But NT isn’t small and large? Rediculous!Yep. Limited=4, semi-limited=12, then unlimited. With limited broken down into small and large.

If it's about money (and we all know it is) this makes more sense. I have said for years if Open 1 was a thing, I'm in, no question. For all of those aging out in levels 1-2-3 it would be a great option. NT exists but a lot of gyms I've seen still want you to be experienced in level 5+ stunting.
My daughters gym has always been considered a small gym, under 150 athletes, and have respectively place top 10 and top 5 being their only Worlds team. We have now added NT and were .03 from 3rd and globing……we should have but due to shananigans…….This is exactly what I was trying to communicate but you said it so much better.
What exactly is it about being the only worlds team from a gym that makes it more difficult for you to place in any of the existing divisions?
I can see how being a D2 program might. Or only having 100 kids in an entire gym might. Or not having tumbling.
I fail to see how being the only worlds team in your gym makes it more difficult.
I almost want to make a list of teams who have placed in the top 10 or top five or in globe position at worlds but were the only worlds team in their gym.
Because in the smaller team size divisions, aren’t most of the top finishers the only worlds teams in their gym?
Or even in divisions like NT6. Aren’t there several gyms in which the NT team is the only worlds team they have?
