I think all Level 5 and 6 teams should be required to register with the USASF by a certain date (say Oct 1) if they are planning on competing for a Worlds bid within that season. Then, the number of teams in each division could be predetermined, and they could decide how many bids should be available for each division.
Using Lg Senior as an example- i don't even know if there are any teams out there in lg sr with no bids. That's kind of an issue. Say there may be 20 Lg Sr teams in the whole country, so almost 75% would have received bids? to me, it should be the top 25% or the top half maybe. So, someone would need to keep track of how many bids are allowed to be given out for each division.
In other words, out of 10 Worlds divisions, say you have 110 available bids. The division with the most number of teams registered would get a proportionally higher percentage of those bids. So, maybe like this:
20- Small Senior
20- Small Limited
15- IOC5
10- Large Senior
10- Large Limited
10- Coed 6
5- Semi
10 bids left to split between Unlimited, AG5, and AG6
But, in order for that system to work, you would need to have a uniform scoring system across the boards, and you would need to scrutinize companies a bit more as to who is "worthy" of awarding bids. (Not for nothing, but Cheer Tech? Come on guys) I like what a lot of people are saying on here about a more organized local to regional to national system, too. And @
Rudags mentioned a system similar to NCA college, which I think is a good idea too.
