Attention:  Club Owners and Coaches

From:  Dianna Gasquez – Judges Assignor

______________________________________________________________________________

In the past there have been problems with having enough judges to cover the weekends having 3 or 4 meets scheduled.  Here is the process I follow when short of judges.

1.  The meets with the largest number of gymnasts attending according to the Intent        

     Form will be given priority on the meet days and judges needed for their competition.  

     Smaller meets will be worked in to take advantage of our judging pool.

2.  If there is not a great difference in meet size then one or two meets may have to

     move to Sunday with the remaining meets competing on Saturday.  This enables us

     to assign the same judges to both a meet on Saturday and another meet on Sunday.

3.   The formula for determining the number of judges assigned to your meet is:

       1-20 gymnasts competing – 2 judges for 1 day (only if available)

      20 – 50 gymnasts  -  2 judges for 1 day

      51 – 160 gymnasts – 8 judges for 1 day or 4 judges for 2 days

      161 + more  gymnasts - 8 judges for 2 days

    * If your meet is lucky enough to be on a weekend with few meets, additional

      judges can be added if available.

4.  If your numbers change significantly because of out-of-state teams attending or 

     additional clubs telling you they will definitely be attending (but did not sign up on the  

     Intent Form) then let me know  ASAP  and I will make every effort to get more judges  

    for your meet.  If you wait  too long all the judges will already be assigned.

If you have any questions or concerns please get in touch with me.

Thanks
