So I just saw the May meeting minutes for JO on the usag site and two interesting things popped up.
1. Proposing to change JO national qualification score to 35. Also looks like they are going to start using number of qualified gymnasts in a region to fill spots rather than last years regional team results. This should open some more spots for sure.
Looks like there would have been seven additional spots open up from region 2.
Sounds like good changes to me.
2. It looks like they are doing away with the level 8 vault debacle. It says they will be eliminating the language that states that the second vault score is the final score should they choose to attempt a second vault.
I am glad they are fixing this. Living through the new rule this year, it didn't seem to accomplish what they intended. Still plenty of scary vaults and more often if you missed the first one you would go again and if you hit the first one you were forced to not go for a better score because it was too risky, so really just punishing the kids who actually had good vaults.
