OF THINGS DURING THE YEAR ARE TIME SENSATIVE AND NEED TO BE DONE THROUGH E-MAIL. My normal email is jgumkow@aol.com Please use jillnlg@yahoo.com for any immediate needs - I get it on my phone.

A list of workers must be given to Jill at warm up of your session to be posted. Workers for the meet must report before March In. Timers for beam will be hired for states and will be judges if possible at GM. I will give actual meet assignments at a later date. We are still looking for a site near Burlington. I will let you know asap. Set up and clean up for the GM inv and state meet requires a minimum of 15 adult helpers. This year I will split the clubs by region for set up and clean up of the meets. Champlain Valley, Green Mountain and Regal are required to get parents to help with set up and clean up. North Stars, Northern Lights, Le Studio, Brattleboro and Woodman are required to get parents to help with set up and clean up. All vermont coaches and judges are asked to help with set up and clean up on both meets if available Format for the GM Inv will be the same as last year and state meet will be traditional warm up/compete format Meet Directors A few reminders for setting up meets: - you must list equipment including vault runway on all meet info - you must get a sanction from the usag office - you must send in $1 per athlete to USAG Region 6 for every meet you host. - you must send a copy of the sanction to USAG office, Regions 6 and to the State administrative committee chairman.

All theme meets must have a 2-judge panel for levels 5 - 10, you can use a 1 judge panel for level 4 and prep opt. All meet directors must submit a write up to the State Committee Chairman for approval of all theme meets. If you do not hear from me then you are approved. The usag milage is now 55 cents. Awards For all state run competitions (sectionals, gmi and states) an achievement ribbon will be given for each event and all around no matter how low the score is for level 4 & 5. State meet will still have small medals for event places below 3rd State meet awards will now include all teams Level 4 & 5 being called to the awards stand to receive their achievement awards and certificate. A participation medal will be given to each athlete in the meet instead of a gift. Pro Score has been designated the score system for all Vermont meets. It makes score tracking a lot easier. You must send a copy of your scores from any meet to Jill G Vanderpot so the scores can be tracked. An electronic version must be sent directly to Jill also. It has been recommended that all clubs attend at least 2 sectionals with their gymnasts. New regional Policy - all regional athletes will be required to give a $200 deposit for regionals at the end of the State competition. After the regional competition, when it is proven you have attended the competition, you will get a refund excluding the meet fee. This can be a club check or a family check - all checks will be deposited. This is an effort to cut down on no shows at regionals.
