That's my point. The bids should be distributed more evenly. I understand that youth 5's and junior 5's don't have much competition. They can't help that. But there are a lot of good level one and two teams that will consistently miss out on bids, because they're being given to level 3 and 4's only. Yes junior and senior 3's are much more competitive divisions and they're stacked, but I'm hoping the bids will be distributed a little more evenly next year so everyone has a good amount of competition.My daughter is going to The Summit with a passed down at large bid, on a lowly ;) J1 team. Do you have any idea how hard it was to get a j1 bid? Every comp she went to reserved the bids for the highest scoring teams at the comps. How is a j1 team going to out score a S4 team? Her team won every single competition this season, beating S1 teams over and over. A passed down at large doesn't mean her team doesn't deserve to go, OR that they won't be competitive.
I think it would be awesome if they split it into two places, west and east coast. disneyworld and disneyland. This way it isn't so expensive and the people from the programs who want to support the summit teams are able to attend. The two sets of judges can compare via video and come up with a champion or perhaps just have an east and west coast champion. With all the nationals, I don't see where it really makes that much of a difference. The hyperion at DCA could easily accommondate this comp as they do cheer comps throughout the season there.I just hate the idea that the summit is supposed to be the "best of the best", but for financial reasons will likely end up "the best of those who can afford to pay or who live close to Orlando". A full paid bid doesn't come close to covering all the costs for a West Coast(and other teams who need to fly to Orlando) team, much less the parent(s) that will accompany the team member. And yes, with younger kids (compared to Worlds) the idea of sending your kid alone to save money, is a lot less feasible.
Anyway, I just hope they do something to ensure plenty of competition across the board in all divisions. I know we've all been to too many competitions where that title was won by default.

Wasn't this the reason the summit was even created? To replace all levels with the multiple locations and make it more prestigious? I feel like having two locations would defeat the purpose.I think it would be awesome if they split it into two places, west and east coast. disneyworld and disneyland.

I didn't think the level or division your in has any impact on where the bids go .My understanding is that Every level has a range of which they can score from bad to perfect lets say level 5 is about 90-100. Then it goes by the percent you scored from perfect... If it went strictly on high scores all the level 4s & 5s would get the bids. I do not believe it would be possible for 1s, 2s & 3s to out score them 4s & 5s. I don't really know if this is exactly how it works but it sounds pretty good to me. LOL
