EXACTLY.
Unfortunately tumbling will always be the primary factor determining what level you make.
You can't create your own division if you're sanctioned under the USASF, right? Don't they have to create the levels?
I remember that too, except I think they were calling it 1.5. A gym in Canada maybe?I thought the 5.1 was a gym that had two level ones, and wanted to put all the hard workers on the 5.1 instead of the other. Maybe I'm crazy but I swear I remember reading that somewhere.
True, but tumbling classes fill up because parents know that TUMBLING is how you move up. If kids actually couldn't move up until they had ALL the skills, those other classes would fill up quick.
Put someone with a tuck on L2 and tell them they can't go on an L3 team until they can also do L3 stunts - and watch how fast mom hits the front desk to ask about stunting class.

Oh Lordy, here we go...
my opinion? why complicate this sport even more. I will admit, I was opposed to senior 4.2 at first, and even now I'm still a little weary of it, but after listening to some people's opinions I have a better understanding for why it was created. But we need to stop creating a new level to make accommodations for every level. Its not helping our athletes in anyway, its making them lazy. You work hard, bust your butt, and get rewarded for being good enough for a team because you meet the expectations and skill level for that team, you don't have a new division created for you so you can have the best of both worlds and do as you please. tumbling isn't up to standards? go to the gym and work on it on your own. same goes for stunting. if you want it bad enough, you will find a way to make it work. When I started allstars there were THREE levels. none of this mixing and matching of levels, adjusting rules to cater to athletes skills. yes, this sport has grown alot, and mostly for the better, but that is one thing I miss from my dinosaur years. okay, I'll get off the soap box now :)
I don't believe it ever game to fruition. If it was it was just used as an exhibition division, as it's not listed on the 2014 performance order or results sheet.
