At DD's gym, the compulsories have 9 meets including state and the optionals have about the same number, not including regionals or nationals. I think the longest trip will be around 4 1/2 hours (last meet of the season).
 
Do compulsories have regional and national competitions too, or is that just optional's?

Up through level 7, you can only go as far as "States." Level 8 you can go progress from States to Regionals (how you qualify for regionals differs depending on your region). Level 9 you can progress from States to Regionals to either Eastern or Western Nationals (do I have this right?), and at level 10 you can go all the way to Nationals.
 
I am just going to add that in Region 8 they include level 7's in regionals.

To qualify difers from region to region. I can speak for my state in region 8(because the number of girls who qualify varies from state to state in R8) to qualify for L7 and 8 regionals its the top 16-20 girls in all age groups combined. (not a certain score) Top 8 make the State team and the others are All Stars.

L9 and 10 it's a 34AA
 
I have 3 girls on the team and in total they will be going to 11 meets. However, my youngest only has 6 and my older two girls have 8. We are just really "lucky" to have a kid in 11 out of the 12 meets that our gym is going to.
 
10 meets is BLEEPING ridiculous.

I see why some gyms and parents want to compete every weekend and rack up medals and ribbons and go to meets.

I like to set them up every other weekend. Sometimes back to back weekends early in the season or if need to get a kid to qualify a score but never 3 in a row.

Sometimes back to back early in the season and then with 2 weekends free to be polishing errors in the routine.

The idea is to not be burnt out by States and Regionals, etc.

OTOH, it does make for a lot of meet pay. Yippee!
 
WOW! 11 meets?! My girls did 11 when they were L4, including fun meets. Now I have a L9. She will likely do 7 plus States and hopefully regionals. Most are within 45min. Some up to two hours. None as of yet out of State but may have one 2 hours away.
Good luck and have a great season.
 
Just got the schedule and looks like 7 meets with one of them in Texas @ the Alamo classic so I'll be needing some guidance from my Cb friends on where to stay lol. I couldn't imagine 11 meets! Hoping for a terrific meet season for all the gymmies :)
