Nationals Bids
-
9 Auto bids (1 for each section) & 9 Strength bids (distributed based on fall points)
- 3 power pools at nationals of 6 teams each
-
Max 2 teams from 1 school in power pools
- In the case of a school having the top 3+ teams at a spring sectional with 3+ bids, the 3rd+ bid would go to the top placing team(s) from a different school
- Points based on all Individual finishes at Fall Sectionals
-
Multipliers
- 1x multiplier for competing in section
- +.1x for competing in club bracket (doesn’t matter how many squads you have)
- +.1x for competing out of section
- At the end of the Fall semester, all points are pooled and strength bids are assigned based on the spread of the points across the sections
-
Bids are then earned at Spring Sectionals
- ex: Tropic South has 3 bids, top 3 teams at Tropic South Spring Sectional earn power pool bids
TLDR: Fall determines the bid amounts, and Spring is the competition to earn them
