    Parents How often do grips need to be replaced?

    This! My daughter had a scary peel of the bars a while back that ended up with a concussion and being out for 6 weeks. The grips were fairly new but I replaced them for her anyway, they were probably fine, but mentally she needed the new grips to feel safe.

    Women Regions judging opinions

    I’m curious too, where is the easy region, where should our gym be scheduling travel meets next year? 😉 We’ve done meets in Texas, Louisiana, California, NY, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Nevada, Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkansas over the years and scores have all seemed “normal” to me. I just...

    Women New Regions?

    I’m confused by this comment, do gyms only choose meets within their region? We do two travel meets a year, both in random, different regions, and then the rest of our meets are in-state. A region re-shuffle would only potentially change the location for a regional meet, not other meets. Maybe...

    Women New Regions?

    I’ve only once been lucky enough to be close enough to drive to regionals, and that’s when it was in my home state. I think this is already the case for many regions. I’m also not familiar with the reasoning behind why the men’s regions changed?

    Anon Yes Nationals Matters for Recruiting

    I agree for the top girls, but what about mid girls scrambling for a walk-on spot on a lower ranked team, you don't think making nationals could help them get exposure to coaches?

    Anon Yes Nationals Matters for Recruiting

    I somewhat agree with you, however we have had two girls from our gym recently recruited to top D1 teams before ever making nationals. (both did make nationals in junior or senior year AFTER verbally committing). So its not the end-all to recruiting. I do think it helps, and I know a lot of...

    Women New Regions?

    How would the regional competition be gone based on the proposed regions in the article, the regions are still there, just some states have been shuffled around? I don't like the idea of a min set of scores, only because you'd get a lot of people crying that the judging wasn't the same, and I...

    Also perhaps instead of highlighting score differences between regions I should have pointed out % differences like the article does. 90%+ qualifying in one region vs. 50% or less in others in not even close to equitable.

    Women New Regions?

    Wasn’t trying to region shame, just explaining why I’m in support of reshuffling which states are in each region to try and make things more fair.

    Women New Regions?

    I think this makes a lot of sense, they recently redid the mens regions, why not the women’s? I also think they could just do away with the regional competition at nationals and go by %. It would mean regions would be uneven at nationals, but it would be more fair individuality. I don’t seem...

    I’ve wondered this too, I have been working as a software engineer/web developer for 20+ years now and if I only had access to the data… It seems that no one place has all the data for all the meets unfortunately.

    Women WCC's Clinic of Champions

    Friends of ours sent their daughters a couple years ago, the girls had fun, but I wouldn’t expect anything beyond just a fun weekend.

    Semi-related, do any of these scoring sites mymeetscores or meetscoresonline have an api that developers can pull from?

    Unfortunately the answer is that likely those scores will never show up, I keep track of all of my daughters in a google spreadsheet. If these are level 10 state scores then I could see how that could be problematic for recruiting, if a college is trying to look up scores. Otherwise no one is...
