    L8/L9 - How is regional qualification determined?

    Can anyone explain how L8/L9 regional (and L9 National) teams are determined? Does it vary based on region? It doesn't seem to be based solely on how the gymnast places at state. We had optionals qualify the last few years, but I've never understood the selection method.

    DD Competing at Emerald Team Challenge in Springfield Oregon as a Level 8

    We just got back from our trip up to Oregon for the Emerald Team Challenge. We were up there from Thursday to Sunday. DD had to compete at 8am on Sunday and with the time change, it felt like 7am. For our gym, this was considered a "team meet", which means the girls don't stay with their...

    1 1/2 at level 8

    My daughter and her team mate were going to do their 1 1/2 at the meet this weekend. Her team mate went first and did it beautifully! However, she was then given a SV of 9.5. Coach was told they counted it as a C because she did it so well. So coach told my DD not to do hers. So my question...

    Level 8 vault - another question

    The other Level 8 vault thread right now and my daughter's practice tonight got me thinking... I know with many things in gymnastics its a numbers game - you simply have to put in the numbers before you can safely/successfully perform them. For example, my dd has been training a yurchenko for...

    level 8 bar requirement

    Can you do a giant-giant tuck flyaway in level 8? Is a layout flyaway required, or is it just needed so that the gymnast has enough B's in her routine? If so, what other skills can be used to fill this B requirement?
