Regional Prep Opt Rules Update

9/11/2010 Clarification

At the National Training Camp in Atlanta this weekend, there was a 2 1/2 hour session discussing the Region 8 Prep rules, judging sample routines, and listening to concerns.  We have a pretty good idea of how to judge with some consistency from across the Region. RTC, Marian Dykes and the members of the Region 8 Board were in the room helping with the concerns and clarifications.  Note the date on the attached set of rules.  I'd suggest that you throw the others away.

We will have a Q & A sessions for pro members on Oct. 23 at Kidsport after the last session of the Think Pink meet. We can explain and clarify your questions, hopefully.  We'll have sample routines on videos that will be judged and discussed.  There will be no charge.  This is just a good time to have a dialogue.

Couldn't figure out how to highlight changes on a pdf, so I'm just sending it.

Clarified were the following:
Note Gold bars - B's will be allowed except for release B's, dismount B's and no giants.
Removed from Gold bars was Level 4 dismount.  It was Lv 4-6 dismount or any A VP dismount.  One of the other restrictions is that the dismount was to have been from high bar...and the Lv 4 was from LB, so it was taken off the list.  The underswing from HB is an A VP. (can't remember # of VP but the description is with or w/out feet)

Bronze Beam - SR #2  Was supposed to have been leap or jump.

Standardized the terminologies of the restrictions under Clarifications to state 1 acro category SR and 1 dance category SR min.

Thanks for your help and patience.
