    WAG Compulsory judges, help me settle an argument!

    I'm not even going to go into the back argument here, but... Compulsory judges, this is all about starting position on floor. My understanding is this: Right-handed gymnasts should start to the right of the judges table on the floor, left-handed gymnasts start to the left side of the...

    Parents petitioning out of compulsories?

    I have heard that this is possible but I'm wondering how difficult it is. Long story short we moved to an x cel program after DD did JO 3 b/c it worked better for our family and now DD is talking about going back to JO to do optionals. I think this is mostly b/c she has progressed so much...

    WAG Compulsories

    I would like to hear what others think about compulsories. I ask because where DD came from, IGC, compulsories do not exist. What is the purpose of compulsories? Is it to build the base of a gymnast? Does competing compulsories successfully really make a good optional gymnast? Does the score...

    WAG Region 8 New Compulsory Schedule

    I'm just curious, with the change in Compulsory season, how will Level 4 and 5 compete after States in December? Do you continue to compete the same level after competing at States? Or do you just end meet season?

    Parents Compulsories and right vs. left

    Hi all...I'm seeking some advice. I had my daughter evaluated at a new gym for their compulsory program and their feedback was that she would have a ton of work to do to correct her form and clean up/relearn her skills because she does some skills with her left (like her cartwheel and roundoff)...

    MAG Compulsory divisions and regional?? How do I explain this to my kid?

    So for the third year in a row my kid has competed level 5. Last year he missed the regional by .5. It is highly likely that he will miss it this year by 1 spot (they are taking the top 9 in all age divisions) again this year. The whole year they were told divisions B is not going to...

    We have in the past year made the switch to JO and I have seen a vouple times athletes doing straddle up casts in compulory levels 4 and 5- between 45 degrees and handstand. Judges- should there be deductions if this is done? What would they be? Or is the straddle jump technique allowed...

    MAG Compulsory divisions bonus questions

    I am curious how coaches are handling the new bonus/no bonus divisions in compulsory levels. Specifically, how many bonuses are they requiring a gymnast to have in order to compete Division 1 rather than 2, and why, if you know. Also anyone know if a gymnast can loose points on a bonus element...
