I just can't stand all these divisions, it's ruining some of my enjoyment of Worlds. The Limited divisions are the worst--- the same "World Champion" title for avoiding all the best teams in your actual division.

The Level 5 divisions for international teams also need to go. It's time to stop pretending countries like Canada, Australia, England are "too poor" to afford spring floors and such. These are advanced nations who can enter Level 6 just like the US teams. Otherwise go to Summit.

Six Non-Tumbling divisions is way too much. There are a few good NT teams, but so many other lower level teams are hiding in these divisions just so they can say they have a Worlds team. If you think about the level a non-tumbler would normally max out at (between Level 1-3 usually), and now you have all these people "moving up" to Level 6 just because they can't tumble... it's just ridiculous.
