A whole new world is opening up this season - Level 8 and the potential (and the goal!) of making it to regionals.
I know in some parts of the country, there is simply a minimum score (such as a 34AA) that a gymnast needs to make it to regionals. Some also have the "Super 8" or similar at the top of each age group - our region does not do that.
Last year our state (in Region 7) - took only the top 8 or so girls in each age group and they were the ones that advanced to regionals (so scores typically were in the 37s or the high 36s for qualifiers).
Now, there is some info floating around that seems to indicate an athlete needs to score a flat score of 34 or higher to qualify for regionals. This would mean that A LOT more girls qualifying for regionals than last year....
Does anyone have any info on changes to what it takes to qualify for regionals? And does each region set its own standards and criteria for who qualifies?
