USAG did release the 20-21 Rules and Policies a couple weeks ago..............but of course the link they provided just takes you back to the homepage. Figured they would have fixed it by now or at least taken it down. Truthfully, I have no clue what that will cover, but I assume it will have...
There isn't going to be a live stream for the Men's JO Nationals, right? I thought I heard rumblings of it earlier on in the season, but maybe it was just complaining or hoping. I realize the men's side isn't as crazily intense as the girls, but you figure the costs of sticking an Ipad or...
My wife pointed out the website to me this morning, which she saw on FB.

Gotta admit, was wondering what took so long to put both men’s and women’s in same area. Site looks nice and it’s solid to have all the older results available.
Good job by usag for once.
I feel for Sam. If he would've fallen during his first event, we all would be talking about a monster comeback he made to get 5th. You could see it in his eyes and face in his interview after. Looked like he wanted to cry and scream in frustration. Was sooo hoping for a medal in the AA...
Agreed, but it's hard to do that when the team is in last after both rotations. Live scoring is what I'm having trouble with. Trying to go off of Twitter feeds to find what our guys are scoring isn't the way to go.........since I'm pretty sure the FIG live scoring for this event isn't actually...
Something tells me these gymnasts' parents already know about the Attitude Cam, all or any complaining should come from them. When there's a blooper/fail or new skill video posted, what kid doesn't want to be a part of it. They love the attention most of the time. Someone mentioned she had 42K...

Not sure what to think this new nationals format. So no opening ceremony, JO Level 8 & 9 will only compete one day and level 10 allotment went up by 140. Maybe the extra $20k they get in meet fees will supply an opening ceremony for...
Nothing is being done on the men's side to help this cause. You'd figure it would be something easy enough (possibly time consuming, but probably easy) that at least USAG could do with promotion instead of doing the best they could to try to please the WAG masses and softened the whole Nassar...
There was a girl competing JD in our region this year. She was pretty good too. I guess I really don't have much of an issue with it, but I would be more fine with it if women's gymnastics didn't exist. Girls on a football team? Why not, there's no real outlet for them in that sport...
Assuming this is just for a camp. Gymnastics shirts from meets/invitationals/home gym is most likely what it means, along with normal unis. I'm sure any typical training shirt would do. They probably just want it to look like a gymnastics camp from first glance and not have a bunch of kids...
Congrats to all!!!
I do have a question that I am curious about - Neutral Deductions. I noticed a bunch of -0.300 deductions for Level 9 rings. What does that entail? No swing to handstand, etc.?
Appreciate the inside scoop on the cutoff. My son did FS for the 1st time last year as a 12 year old......wasn't taught the updated routines, but that's another story. He'll probably be a little upset now knowing that the 13 year old division has been eliminated.
"Is there anything else I...

Looks like the JE combined score is the same for Level 8, but Level 9 & 10 moved down a point. Not sure if the allotment #'s are final yet, but shaved a good amount of 8's and the rest appear to be consistent with the...
Going to Black Jack this year. Did HNI last year. If HNI ever goes back to Galveston, I would definitely push for that meet. Besides the meet being good (and having good results), the whole fam came along and we stayed along the beach. Was also during Mardi Gras and the parades and...
I don't ever remember Level 4s going to Regionals......and really hope they don't start in our region, unless they chop down the total #'s for all levels. I wouldn't want any days added to make room for additional sessions. I know it's a money maker when there are more athletes, especially if...
I did see that there is a tentative 2018 schedule out now for BlackJack. I just wish they had a set day for each level. Level 8s are either 7:30am on Saturday or 1pm on Sunday. I wonder if it is safe to assume that if any 8s are doing the tech sequences on Friday morning, their optional...
Yeesh. I agree the coach was wrong on this 100%, just saying coming from what I've seen in the gymnastics world, I thought assisted (at times forced) stretching was the norm. I know that taking to the point of injury is very wrong, obviously. As stupid as people may think it sounds, I...
Not sure what to think here and not discrediting anyone's opinions.....but when I first saw the video, sure, with the crying and screaming it shouldn't have been pushed so far past her limit, but did any of the other girls sound like they had too much of any concern? If their faces weren't...
I got a peek at our tentative meet schedule and looks like we only have one instance of 2 meets in consecutive weekends. One being Black Jack, then local the following. But February is prime for meets, so really it usually happens then anyways. I agree that big (air or 2 hours + in a car)...
