Several orgs do it that way. It's great.

Competitive Cheerleading (which I have coached for 14 years now) does the same thing, with NCA/UCA/The Cheerleading Worlds. Place at the top of those and you get invited to The Champions League. Top 15 teams are filmed and then it is shown at AMC Theaters across the country.

Cheerleading also holds an invitational championships at many levels, place well at the invitational and you get a bid to the full championships the next week. The invitational has the same rules/venue/experience, it is just a different level of competition. It allows those who just missed champs for whatever reason a chance to work their way up to the top.
