All-Star World's 2016

I have a question and thought I would start a thread for this year.

I know AL bids compete in preliminaries and FP go straight to semi - finals. Where do the PP (partial paid) go?

Partials compete in the semi-final round with the paid bids.

Thank you!!

Are the partial paids still sandwiched between the top ten advancing from prelims and the randomly ordered full paids in semis? or are they randomly mixed in with full paid bids?

I thought they had to perform before all full paids in the past, but this years registration packet makes it sound like they're all being grouped together. And next year partials aren't a thing so I guess that's that.

Partial paid bids compete in semis after the teams that advanced from prelims go. all partial paid bid teams go before the paid bid teams.

I am very excited for World's 2016! When does the board usually start World Predictions? Is that after NCA?

Yea, there's also an annual bracket contest for Worlds! That usually gets posted in April.

This is only true for senior teams (and possibly not Large Senior and Large Coed? I don't think they have prelims?)

For the international divisions, the only benefit PP and FP bid winners get is that they go at the end of the division. But there's no automatic advancing.

We don't get FP bids in the UK. I thought it was the same for all international teams/divisions?

US international open teams can get full paid bids.

Sorry, I meant international as in international open, not non-us (so confusing!)

Thank you guys. It is confusing!! :)

I also have a question:
Who determines the full paid bid amount? Is it USASF, or is it the EPs, or someone else? The full paid bid amount hasn't changed in years, but USASF raises the cost to attend Worlds each year.
