All-Star Paid Bids For Level 6 Teams

[King]

What competitions offer a legit shot for level 6 teams to get a paid bid? Partial or full?

Well Top Gun got a partial at US Spirit and Twist and Shout got a partial at American Spirit Championships, so hopefully we can assume those again.

I think Spirit Cheer (this year in Atlantic City, last year in Hartford) will give one of their 3 paid bids to a level 6 team if they're the highest scoring team - based on Percentage of Perfection since it's the Varsity score sheet. Don't quote me on that one though, I don't know that they've ever actually given a paid bid to a level 6 team, last year an IOC5 team had the highest score and got it.

I think Sea to Sky in Vancouver, BC gave a partial paid bid to a level 6 team (Perfect Storm) in 2011...

So really very few?

Doesn't NCA have a rule that they won't pay for level 6 teams with bids?

 

[Underestimated]

i think if anything a international level 5 team would most likely always get a paid over a i6

 

[King]

Lots of the competitions only have provisions for level 5, not level 6.

so far I've counted 3 in the US that give bids to level 6

Right, a lot of competitions will give them to i5, but not i6.

FYI Sea to Sky is an international competition which does have some US bids!
