    WAG XCEL Silver Vault judging question (WAG)

    I was at a competition last weekend, the team that was on vault had 2 coaches present. The first coach was at the vault table, however sneakily had her hand holding the front corner of the top mat. The second coach was leaning on the mat at the back. This was all to keep the mat from moving...

    English Bronze and Silver

    We're headed that way in a couple of weeks and it is the first time we have ever been. I'm wondering whether it will be very high level gymnastics, or whether there is a wide range of gymnasts from different clubs that enter? And basically just being nosey if anyone has any comments on it.
