    Women New Regions?

    Florida could also have their own region. :)

    Women Xcel Cons

    You only mentioned some of the things I said. But it's not the same to hold girls back in Compulsory as it is in Xcel. In Compulsory, the routines are scripted and everyone does the same routines and the same skills. In Xcel, the "easiest" skills can deliberately be chosen to ensure really high...

    Women Xcel Cons

    I've been around that long as well. I have been through the change from Prep Op to Xcel, the many rewrites of the Code, the constant updates, and judged thousands and thousands of routines. Plus I have a kid in Xcel, I had one in Prep Op and One in Jr Olympic. I stand by my opinions.

    Women Empty Slots for Level 10 Nationals

    Does anyone know where the table is that shows which regions do not have enough level 10 athletes to fill in some age groups, and which regions the gymnasts will be chosen from to fill those slots?

    Parents Can you still order a regional leo if you decide not to attend (but qualify)?

    In Region 8, you had to declare the evening of the last session at state meet whether or not your gymnast was going to attend regionals. Your gym would have taken care of that. If you declared that your gymnast will attend, unless it's an injury preventing her from attending, she is expected to...

    Men Mixed team Gymnastics coming to the 2028 Olympics

    It still sounds fake. I guess we'll see.

    Women Xcel Cons

    Yes. The ability to bypass difficult skills and compete the easiest ones from the list means gymnasts will choose to not be challenged and learn the higher skills so that they will always win at meets. Choosing more difficult skills is not rewarded at meets. The requirements for the levels are...

    Parents New gym in Raleigh?? Other gym suggestions?

    informative, but this sounds like a commercial. tell us again in Mom-speak, the way you'd talk to a friend about it.

    Gymnasts 10.1 start values

    That's why we have to change the way it's said, because people think it's a 10.1 SV. It's just as easy to say "ten plus one start value."

    Gymnasts 10.1 start values

    what skill on bars is an E that is not a release or a dismount (also technically a release)?

    Coaches Can there be a split start value? (USAG, Xcel)

    2 different start values happens quite often.

    Parents State Team 2025 Region 8

    From the USAG Website:

    Parents State Team 2025 Region 8

    It was announced at Regional Congress last summer. You won't see the leotard until you get to regionals, unless they break tradition and reveal it sooner.

    Women Team Scores

    It's the top 3 scores from each event, not the top 3 all around scores.
  15. 3rd_time_around

    Gymnasts 10.1 start values

    You can have a 10.0 + .1 bonus start value, not a 10.1 SV.
