We are now taking requests from clubs interested in hosting a compulsory qualifier next fall. You must send in 3 weekend choices in rank order of preference. Requests must be emailed to [email protected] before March 1, 2018.
We also want to remind everyone that you may offer Xcel levels at the compulsory qualifiers this fall if you would like. This was included in the Minutes from the last Administrative Committee meeting on 12/2/17.
If an athlete has achieved the following scores at State or any sanctioned meet during 2019-2021 seasons, she is eligible to compete at Regionals in 2021.
The athlete needs to have achieved those scores at their current level.
The Regional Committee recognizes that some athletes have not been able to train due to COVID and are trying to encourage participation in State and Regional meets. If an athlete needs to petition to Regionals, the petition scores are the same as above.

USA Gymnastics has cancelled all sanctions for the month of March. All state meets held in March are cancelled. This includes the Level 6-10 state meet and the Xcel state meet. Decisions regrading refunds for state meets and whether Regionals will be held are currently being discussed.
Below is the letter from USA Gymnastics regarding this issue.
Dear USA Gymnastics Members,
Like many of you, we have become increasingly concerned with how the evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) situation could affect our community. Please know that the health and well-being of our athletes and community continues to be our organization’s top priority.
With that in mind, we have already limited travel for USA Gymnastics staff and national team athletes and staff, provided guidance from the CDC and WHO to our community, and urged our leaders and meet directors in each state and region to cancel events in areas of heightened concern.
Now, as we have learned more about how best to protect our community, we have made the decision to cancel USA Gymnastics’ events and event sanctions, at least through the end of March.
We recognize that this is a challenging time for our community, and that many of you will have questions about how this decision might impact postseason competition or your individual gym. Our program leadership teams are working to provide additional guidance and will be reaching out to you in the days and weeks to come.
While we know that disruptions and cancelations are not ideal, this decision was reached in service of our commitment to our community’s health and well-being. We appreciate your commitment to each other, and everyone’s efforts to make the best of this tough situation.
We will continue to monitor the situation and update our guidance as the situation evolves.
Sincerely,
Li Li Leung
President & CEO, USA Gymnastics
