Not sure I can agree, as some kids may be missing skills to safely move to the next level.
Train without competing? Really? I'm sure that's going to go over well with people paying 300.00 a month in tuition. Plus, wouldn't that just make the kid want to quit? All kids who repeat are not just doing so to win?!? I definitely don't see moving someone up who scored 33-34 that isn't successful to me. If it is mandatory to move up, then the score would have to be 37 and even then success at one level doesn't mean you have the skills you need to move up or be successful at the next level. I'm not talking compulsory, I'm talking optionals!
They are saying that the Mandatory move up score would be 37.xx. They would not IMMEDIATELY move up. They have the off season to train new skills in addition to training them during the current season once it is clear that they will be moving up. PLUS... they could always SCRATCH the event they are not ready for... or at the Optional levels, compete a routine that isn't out of a 10.0 (My gymmie competed the entire season with a Beam Routine out of a 9.0 and finished as high as 2nd place).Train without competing?

This is the example that we were told by our HC.
One of our girls was in level 8 and she got a 37.+ at a qualifier and also scored a 37.+ at provincials. She will be required to move up next year to level 9.
We asked - what if she didn't want to. No choice - she is required to move up.
Back when our YMCA Zone (basically the state) had Mandate scores, there was a petition process to repeat... mostly only available one time per level per gymnast. However, at L8 there were more allowed petitions... and since we didn't have L10 as an option, L9 was the final level (although some girls really WANTED L9 or their coach was too lazy to petition... and they would compete L9 with one or 2 events still at L8 requirements). But remember, our mandate scores were much lower.This is the example that we were told by our HC.
