Canadian session results

Posted on February 28, 2011 by rickmccharles

As an experiment this year, we offered one session where those foreigners from UP NORTH could compete within their own age and ability divisions. But at an American meet.

To keep it simple, we judged the routines EXECUTION ONLY out of the good old ‘perfect 10′. Those athletes with clean routines were at an advantage over those with more difficulty.

Leave a comment if you see any problems. Thanks.

Note: The program inserts for the sessions are printed in advance of the event. Sometimes there are changes (adds and scratches) after printing that cause an age group for a session to have a disproportionate number of gymnasts. In order to maintain equilibrium across the groups the age groups are realigned. This may cause a gymnast’s age group to differ between what is listed in the program insert and the results for the session.

Thanks to Paul our scorer for doing such a FANTASTIC job single handed, on results.
