Schedule

• Keep levels back to back do not split levels overnight (if possible)

• Levels that qualify by percent go first

• Levels compete oldest to youngest

• Sessions made by dividing the whole count of a level in order of birth dates and dividing it by number of sessions for that level

Age groups

• Age groups made by dividing the number of gymnast in a session into equal groups by birth dates (CHA, CHB, CHC ect.)

• For Rookie any 5 yr. olds will make their own age group

• Age groups not to exceed 25 gymnast per group

Rotation sheets

• Made by random draw, for starting event, and for order in each rotation (not grouped by team (or alphabetical)

• If a gym has two squads in a session make starting events all in one flight and odd events (exchange whole squad) ie. VT and BB in same flight
