WHAT is the proposed change?
Division classification, as an eligible split, is applied to Elite Tier Divisions (only).
I would like to recommend a rule change. Can the rule for prep tier divisions be changed to allow the option for event producers to split prep and novice by the following:
Small – 15 and less
Medium – 16-23
Large – 24 and up
WHY should the proposed change be adopted?
To allow for equitable competition amongst the growing prep division.
Though prep is treated as entry level, there is still a competitive advantage for large gyms over a small gym. Putting 22 athletes against a team of 8 with limited access to pull from in forming the teams is truly not equitable.
