Women Testing out before the 2013 changes

[wallinbl]

There seems to be some confusion among the gym management at DD's gym as to when the deadline is for testing out using current routines. There are a number of girls that are going to do current 6 before the changes, but various contacts at the state committee have given either "I don't know" answers or conflicting answers (one said May was it; the other said July 31st was the last day).

If anyone can point to a document with this information, it would be helpful.

I guess I would test out sooner than later, just to be sure...

We have heard that testing out just needs to be before 2012-13 meet season begins in August (compulsories here compete in the fall). However, DD's gym is planning to test out a group before summer starts just so they won't have to plan a test out meet around families' vacations schedules.

Edited to say that I just checked out our region's website. It just says that competitions using the new routines will begin August 1, 2013. So I guess testing out can be done up until July 31st, 2013.

July 31st would be my best guess. We still have a state competition after May this year!

The new routines go into effect August 1, 2013 (in time for the "fall" compulsory season many states do). So I don't see any other to reason to believe it wouldn't be July 31st. In other words, a competition held on July 31st, 2013 would use the current compulsory routines.
