MAG Regionals

[skschlag]

Good luck to all of our boys competing in regionals this weekend!!!

 

[profmom]

Yes, especially to the optional guys who are hoping to qualify for Nationals! (DS and the rest of the level 5 machine compete Saturday and are mostly just excited that next week they finally get to start doing new things!)

Hope those that compete this weekend have a great time. We are still a week away from Regionals here.

Help me understand this. I get the warm up all, compete all, but why the 12 judges? Different judges will judge different age?

Session 2: Level 6 (105 Gymnasts) (Traditional Format; warm up all, compete all. Teams together alternating age groups; 12 judges)
4:45PM – Gym opens, open stretch
9:15 PM – Awards

 

[skschlag]

Yes. We have had that before. They will only judge a certain age group. It will speed things up, and still allow for the age group to have the same judge across the board. While one judge is "tallying" the other judge can immediately start a routine.

 

[sjm2b3]

Interesting.

I still don't understand why the girls always have 2 judges and the boys have 1???

 

[skschlag]

Because we can barely get enough judges?? LOL

Good luck to all competing this weekend. Our Regionals isn't until the following weekend.

Sorry you will have to split up to support them. We'll be in Phoneix next weekend too.

I'm going to Cali with my dd (dh can't do the "meet" hair, lol) Is your ds a Level 5? My ds is in the 12-up division L5. He's in the Sat early am session.

What regions are this weekend? Good luck to all those who are!!!

I get the hair thing. I missed ds' state meet because dd was in a youth theater production. No way Dad could do hair and make-up.

Yes, level 5, 11yo; so also Sat morning. He's on our 11 and up state team too. It's odd to me that they separate the 11yos. All season he's competed at meets where it was 11- up. The regional allotment is also 11- up, yet for the competition the 11yos will be a separate division.

 

[skschlag]

That age thing is odd. Our region goes strictly by the USAG recommended age ranges, no matter how many boys are in each age group. Makes it predictable at least.

Region 9 is this weekend!

We'll be in Phoenix next sat Saturday morning too. 7 year old division.

 

[Dr Maleficent]

Good luck everyone! Wishing you all straight legs (when needed), pointy toes and perfect landings!

 

[skschlag]

I Wanna be in Phoenix

 

[profmom]

Region 7 has compulsories this weekend and optionals next weekend. We will take all the straight legs, pointy toes, and stuck landings we can get!!

 

[MyBoysFlip]

I want to be in Phoenix too! Ours in next weekend also. Bright and early Sunday morning.
