What are Paid Bids ? |
| “Paid” bids are awarded to the best teams in one or more of the Worlds Divisions at The Cheerleading Worlds qualifying events. Each event producer that hosts a Worlds qualifying event has the discretion to select the divisions and the process by which the bids are awarded. The “Paid Bid” includes the lodging and transportation expenses up to $25,000 for a maximum 36 participants and two coaches. For Small Senior All Girl division winners, there is a maximum of 20 participants and two coaches. All “Paid Bids” will have a maximum cap at $25,000 per team. Any additional expenses incurred will be the responsibility of the gym. Each event producer will try to accommodate the team’s first choice in transportation. However, event producers will provide the safest and most economical mode of transportation. Once travel plans have been approved and confirmed for a “Paid Bid”, any changes that result in additional cost will be charged to the team, even if the maximum cap of $25,000 has not been reached – this includes charges for substitutions. | |
