I agree with you. Gymnasts at the elite level are above and beyond those that stay JO. Frequently it seems that elites or drop back elites take spots from well deserving JO gymnasts at nationals. Which then means girls are not seen by college coaches which then effects scholarship offers. If you are elite, then you are elite, not JO anymore.Great idea. I don't think it is fair they they can do both JO and elite. I think they should choose. Once they obtain elite score they should be able to compete in level 10/ open meets but not advance to regionals or nationals. JMHO
