You're right. I don't have the details so the reasons for could be endless. However, does it mater? (playing devil's advocate here)

there is no devils advocate. The rule was put into to play to prevent athletes from gym hopping (regardless of reason) but unfortunately left all the power/control in the gyms lap.You're right.

I (personally) think they aren't really related. the second gym really has nothing to do with that.. its out of their control. I'm by no means saying you should just leave and not pay your expenses, I just think it should be settled in a civil law case (does that make sense? I know nothing about criminology/law lol..) and not be between the old gym and new gym. or are you saying you don't think the athlete should be released if they haven't paid their debt?Just might be again...
What about the case where a family still owes $ the gym they are jumping ship from? Should that athlete be allowed to continue at a different gym?
I think 3 athletes can b changed from bid day roster.
I do believe financial obligation (bills must be current to date of athlete leaving) is a valid reason to not release an athlete. Can you imagine how many would try skipping out this way just too move on?I (personally) think they aren't really related. the second gym really has nothing to do with that.. its out of their control.

One season I think it started midway through, though. I feel like the comp season had already started when they released it. The season later (2011) they added the 'post-november 1st' clause. Maybe I'm wrong. USASF likes to dump stuff on us halfway through so I often get confused on rules that are released at regular schedule.
A lot of people talk about how bad it is for the athlete that can't go to worlds but rarely do people recognize the team that has to put in extra practices to fix a routine after the loss.
I personally feel that if the gym asks an athlete to go then they should be released. Other than that I can see reasons not to release. I mean you didn't see issues before November 1st?!? You had from May to August to make a decision.
Some gyms never release, some gyms always do, then some gyms say they do but don't.
