And why are they ineligible? There is no rule that says international teams have to compete in international. That is why there has been a few canadian teams to compete in small senior before.
It is not about the division, they were ineligible to get a bid at UCA because the rule states you must receive a bid in the country you are from.
Just as US teams are not allowed to go to Columbia or Canada or China to get a bid to worlds, Vancouver can not receive a bid from an American competition.
Vancouver All Stars Large Senior will not be at worlds but their International All Girl 5 already has a bid and will be there.
Can you point me to where it says that? I have never seen that and cannot find it on their bid declaration page:

OK, so the explanation I just got (which is what I thought) a gym has nothing to do with a certain country. An EP decides who and how they want to award the bid. They could give it to last place if they so chose. As long as a team meets the requirements for a certain division, it does not matter the country they are from.
UCA could place personal restrictions on the bid awarding process, but I did not see it on their bid declaration page. If Vancouver would have won, they would have a bid.
Unless you have something to point to refutes that?
Guess I won't find anything then, huh?
I'm not trying to start anything about all this bid talk, but the owners of UCA did call the owner of Orlando All-stars and say they apologized for how the rules read and they had all their officials watch the Angels on Sunday and they all agreed that a full paid bid should have been given to them. But there was no way to go around the rules and they said they all had no way of going around it. I'm not trying to take anything away from the teams that got the bids because they were all very good but UCA did try and figure out a way to give Orlando the bid
Probably not. I just did a search on the whole entire USASF site and searched in the bid packet as well.
Yeah, me too. FWIW, I did email Steve Peterson just in case I missed something.
