| Coaches Special! |
Every year we have a customized coach’s gift for each coach attending the competition. Our goal is to give you something that represents your importance as a gymnastics coach attending a high quality national competition. One gift per club. If more than 8 athletes are entered, and you have two or more coaches, other gift(s) will be issued. We will make every effort to accommodate everyone. |
| Open Team Cup |
Will be run as a Team Competition Meet. All teams will compete under FIG rules or Level 10 rules. The idea is to give more teams the opportunity to be competitive for Cash Awards and Team Cups as possible! Example: Elites will compete under FIG rules (with any USA Gymnastics bonus added); Level 10s (14-15 and 16-18) will compete under USAG Level 10 rules. Any other levels that compete will need to compete under this format. In other words, Level 9s and 8s can be part of the Open Team Cup, but must compete as one of the above 2 levels.Individual AA and individual events competition are in other sessions (see schedule).Cash awards are given at all competitions, and we have increased the amount of cash of previous years. We are expecting a very exciting competition, so get your entries in early!
Note: Coaches and athletes will need to make the decision who, if anyone, accepts cash. |
| Jr. Team Cup |
This competition features the 12-13 Level 9s. Top 3 scores on each event count for team scores. Cash awards and cups will be given to the top 6 teams.
