Raising the minimum score to a 35.7 would be a start (and totally fair)...
I'm curious about this..why would an arbitrary score of 35.7 be "totally fair"? Seems kinda random to me unless there's some data to back it up. I guess my fear in changing the rules is that certain regions won't be represented hardly at all ...region 2 comes to mind with fewer gymnasts to begin with and fewer gymnasts to get the higher scores. I know the gymnasts that do make it with the minimal qualification scores don't tend to do well but it is an accomplishment that they can strive for to represent their region...if you take that potential away from them, you may lose them entirely as they may leave the sport thinking "well if they just want certain regions at JOs, then why bother?"
