This would result in a -0.30 deduction for missing a “B” VP.<br />- If one Special Requirement is missing and there is no “B” VP in the routine deduct -0.50 for the SR and -0.30 for the VP.<br />[8/20/10]]]></description>

Then again it is listed under under Clarifications as a 0.30 deduction. Since the statement is listed in two places does it mean there is a 0.50 deduction under SR and a 0.30 under clarifications or is it a 0.30 deduction for each routine?]]></description>

Gymnast who have competed level 3 can not compete Bronze and must compete silver if they want to do Prep Op. I feel it will be difficult to teach a new level 3 to vault over the table when for level 4 they don't even use the table. Maybe the level 4 vault could be used for a lower SV?]]></description>

<title>Qualifying scores</title><link>http://poguidelines.region8gymnastics.org/clarifications/read.php?11,149,149#msg-149</link><description><![CDATA[ Are PREP optional levels considered in addition to compulsory now? We have always competed just prep opt until our kids are ready to move to level 7 at which point we take them to a mobility meet until they qualify out of PREP. My gymnasts that have been competing Rookie, Novice and Prep 1 are prepared to go Prep 1 because they have acquired all of their skills to get them there. As far as the requirements for their level they are fine, but they do not yet have a qualifying score of 31.00 at Level 5 because they have never competed Level 5. Do they need to do that before they can be Gold (which seems like they are going backwards a level)? Thanks!]]></description>
