i dont know if this has been said already or answered. but what if your on a level 4 but your only a level 2 athlete?
personally i think it would be SO complicated! because if you wanted to add every time an athlete got a new skill/moved up a level, that would be crazy! and some times, we all have bad tumbling days or good tumbling days, so i just think that you shouldnt be able to drop any levels after so many months in your season, unless you have a legitimate reason. when i say legitimate reason, i mean if you lost like half of your team. i know someone will say, "our level 3 was struggling so we went level 2 for these compeitions. but if your struggling, you would have all summer and part of fall to decide what level your going to be. you can move up levels, just not go down. so, this would work for teams that start out going level 4 and end up going 5. also, sometimes teams gain skills throughout the year, i know our coed 4 was going to go restricted 5.
