Drop back date — an
explanation. MN Drop back date – Feb
1st. 2007
Beginning
with the 1998-1999 season our State decided not to have optional
qualifiers. In researching this decision we decided to
incorporate what is referred to as a “Drop Back Date”
What this allows you to do is compete an optional
gymnast at the next level, provided she has received the mobility score, and drop
her back after the competition if you feel she is not ready. YOU MUST DECLARE her level to the State
Statistician by Feb 1st, our “drop back date”. Failure to declare will lock your gymnast in
at that higher level.
