if you really want to control it, call your surrounding gyms and ask where they are going on certain weekends...it helps

I can understand the Youth 4 and 5. Not many gyms can say they have a Youth 4 & 5. You already know you prob will have no comp because there are only a few in that level in the whole country. Those kids are crazy talented!! but to just go non worlds to get a jacket is not cool.It's a viable topic when it is not so specific to the gym. We have a ton of meaningless jackets from the drought years of youth 4 and 5. We have a few cherished jackets from when the win really meant something. Did I brag when we had no competition ... Yes when we won grand champ, but otherwise no. It was nothing more than a glorified practice but since the event producer wasn't giving back our money, we gladly took the jacket.
Except that large senior is only split large/medium if there's two "true" large senior teams & two "true" medium senior teams. So even teams like WCSS, F5, & Senior Elite could compete against teams like FCA, Panthers, Tsunami, Super Seniors, PSS, and so on.I get going out there, when unfortunately there is no competition (Umm, hello large senior except for maybe 3 competitions!!)
But even still- there aren't a huge number of medium teams either. How many competitions have these kids gone to where there's maybe one or two other teams? Minus the big bid comps, and even THEN you're lucky to get another team. ACA only had, what, 2 teams in Large Coed? Maybe 2 or 3 in Medium AG? You only get competition if they have to combine, and sometimes it's with a team from your own gym?Except that large senior is only split large/medium if there's two "true" large senior teams & two "true" medium senior teams. So even teams like WCSS, F5, & Senior Elite could compete against teams like FCA, Panthers, Tsunami, Super Seniors, PSS, and so on.
But to respond to this thread, I thought it was kind of odd that Jamfest offered "Non-Worlds" divisions in the first place, like why? If you were good enough in the "normal division" to get a bid, but knew from the start you didn't want to go, just decline it. But maybe it's more geared toward smaller gyms? I know a lot of times smaller gyms don't feel like they can keep up with some of the larger gyms who have a bigger talent pool to pick from (which is why there are small gym divisions now).
