has been some confusion regarding the Level 6 Floor Bonus.

Bonus Awarded and Deduct 0.3 Endo roll handstand hold less than 1 second No Bonus, Deduct 0.5, CREDIT for skill Chapter 3 B 1.c. If the part is partially completed (more than 50%) it should receive credit and the appropriate FIG deductions (small, mediu, large or fall)

Please note the correction of the Regional Age Groups
for levels 8 & 9 posted below. (It was printed incorrectly in the
Texas Rules & Policies which was sent out last week) Texas
State Meet Recognized Age Groups Meet Hosts – It is encouraged that you use that you use the Award System for the level 4 athletes that is used at the state meet for your invitationals. That system is as follows: For each
individual event the top 1/3 will be awarded medals. The top ¼
of the top 1/3 on each event will receive a gold medal. The second ¼
of the top 1/3 on each event will receive a silver medal. The next ½
of the top 1/3 on each event will receive a bronze medal. So if there
are 60 gymnasts in an age group 1st-5th place will receive gold, 6th-10th
will receive silver, 11th-20th will receive bronze. All Around awards
will be given in rank order for the top 1/3. |

Please take note that the dates of the Level 4 & 5 North & South State Championships will take place on the weekend of April 24 & 25. (This is a change from the original dates discussed at the Summer Business Meeting) Please check to make sure this date is correct on your calendars! Uniform rules for Level 4 are now the same as level 5. Level 4s now have the option to wear competition pants and warm-ups. Remember Texas State meet entries need to be typed on the “Official Texas Meet Entry Form”. This form is attached, and available on the Texas Men’s Gymnastics website. If you are a club that prepares their entry form, and uses the same one throughout the season, you might want to consider using the Official Texas Meet Entry form throughout the season, so that it is not an inconvenience to use it for the state meet.
