Well I dont think so but probably because think about it. Level 10 or better elite proves that you are the best of the best. I would not want somebody on my sports team if they are not on the top.
5 for each team plus 3 alternates for each team
no
it depends, if you compete through USAG or something different. it also depends on what level.

The FIG (the International Gymnastic Federation) changed the rules in the team competition. In the 1996 Olympic gymnastic team competitions four gymnasts from each team would compete on the apparatus during the team competition. The lowest score (out of four) was dropped. Only 3 out of the 4 final scores counted. Because more gymnasts competed on each event, there were seven team members. 4 gymnasts competed, and 3 sat out. After the rule change, only 3 girls from each team compete on an apparatus and all of the scores count. If a gymnastic team had 7 members, then 4 girls would sit out each event, and that is one too many under the FIG rules. Because only 3 girls can sit out and 3 girls compete on each event, the maximum number of gymnasts a 2008 Olympic team can have is 6.
although gymnastic can be very rewarding and fun it is a very exspensive sport to compete in and is very time consuming once you start training to compete. Also gymnastics can be very dangerous and painful. It is tough on joints and muscles and it is often impossible to provent most injuries.
The Wyoming Cowboys (or Cowgirls) are athletes that compete for the University of Wyoming
When? Usually there's Russia, Chine, I think Japan, and some countries that used to be in the Soviet Union. Rhythmic Gymnastic is not that popular, because it isn't broaded as much as much as other type of gymnastic. But it's as hard, if you look on a professional level.
depends where you live and how old you are but ususally gymnastics doesnt cost as much because they dont compete in as many competitions and they only need a few leotards, cheerleaders ususally need several:)

I don't have a list but my Mother was picked for the ladies team. She didn't compete due to an injury she picked up in training. She's still fit at 85!
