[quote=Anonymous][quote=FPYCparent]Agreed.  Thanks for the insightful contributions.

I'm going through the [url=https://usavolleyball.org/compete/girls-indoor/2023-girls-and-18s-qualifier-results/]2023 USAV spreadsheets[/url] for to see what CHRVA teams participated.

Open: Metro 15 Travel, Metro 17 Travel, Metro 18 Travel, Paramount VBC 18s 
National: Blue Ridge 14 Blue, Paramount VBC 14, Paramount VBC 15, Metro 16 Travel, Blue Ridge 17 Blue, VA Juniors 18 Elite
USA: Paramount VBC 16s
Liberty: (None)
American: Metro 14 Travel, VA Juniors 14 Elite, Blue Ridge 15 Blue, EC Power CH 15-Shock DC, MVSA 15 Charge, Blue Ridge 16 Blue, MVSA 16 Sparks, MD Jrs 17 Elite Black, Paramount VBC 17, EC Power Chesapeake 18 DE
Freedom: LEVBC U14 National, MVSA 14 Force, LEVBC U15 National, Premier Edge 16, VA Juniors 16 Elite, EC Power Chesapeake 17 DE, VA Juniors 17 Elite, Vienna Elite 18 Blue, Columbia 18 Black

Hopefully, I didn't miss any teams ... but that looks to be about 12 CHRVA clubs that earned a total of 30 bids to Nationals.  There are about 9 more bids for CHRVA in the 11s-13s groups.[/quote]

That's an interesting analysis, thank you.

Another aspect to look at is where the bids come from. Open, USA, and Liberty bids can only be earned at a National Qualifier tournament. National and Freedom bids are only given through a region. American bids can be earned at a qualifier or given by a region.

For example, looking at last year's CHRVA 16s teams who got bids, here's the breakdown:
[list]Metro 16 Travel got their National bid by winning the bid regional tournament[/list]
[list]Paramount 16s came in second at bid regionals which would have given them an American bid but they already had a USA bid from placing 2nd in the USA Division at the Sunshine Qualifier in Orlando. USAV requires a team to take the highest bid they earn so they took their USA bid[/list]
[list]Blue Ridge 16s came in 3rd at bid regionals which would normally get them a Freedom bid, but since Paramount had the USA bid they got the American bid.[/list]
[list]MVSA 16 Sparks originally got a Freedom bid based on their 4th place finish at bid regionals (and the American bid being passed down to Blue Ridge), but then USAV allocated an additional 16 American bid to CHRVA which MVSA was next in line for[/list]
[list]VA Juniors got 5th at bid regionals and were given MVSA's Freedom bid when MVSA was bumped up to American[/list]

Fairly often, CHRVA will also be given additional National bids to distribute (hence the two teams in the National division at 14s in your list), but didn't get one for 16s last year. Also, because of the rule regarding taking the highest bid earned, teams that get an Open bid before bid regionals are not allowed to participate in regionals.
