2012
MOON INVITATIONAL
Girl’s Gymnastics Invitational Rules
The 2012
Moon Gymnastics Invitational will be held at Moon Middle School
on Saturday, January 21, 2012.
Enclosed you will find
an entry blank which must be submitted to me no later than January 16, 2012. If you do not have enough gymnasts to
field a team, you may enter them for individual awards and for qualifying
scores.
To defray tournament
expenses, an entry fee of $5 per event will be charged. A maximum of $200 per team, unlimited
entries.
The following ground rules will prevail for this tournament.
1 Gymnasts will compete in one division –
Advanced/Diamond, Intermediate I/Gold, or Inter. II/Silver, or Bronze. Please enter your gymnast in their proper
division. This is early in the season,
so use your best judgment and take into account past and present
performances when making these decisions.
Ex. – If you anticipate your gymnast will be gold – but at the end of
season they qualify silver – this registration does not affect their
eligibility.
Independent gymnasts may
compete on any and/or all of the events.
You will be eligible for individual awards.
2 The top four scores from all of your
gymnasts on each event will count toward the team score.
3 If your competitor total exceeds 12 per event, we may
need to compete your team over two rotations to keep the tournament moving
smoothly. In this case you will probably
need two coaches with you, since your team will be warming up and competing in
back to back rotations.
4 Awards will be presented in each event and all
around for each division, proportional to the number of entrants in each
division.
5 Athletes MUST be present to receive awards.
Non-attendance of awards ceremony will forfeit award and it will be
presented to next in line. (Absent due to meet injury accepted
exception to this rule)
6 Team trophy(s) will be awarded to the gymnastics
team accumulating the most points overall during the invitational from their
top four competitors in each event. 1st
& 2nd place team awards.
7 A coach must accompany all competitors.
8 Student admission will be $1 Adults - $3 Tickets sold at gate only.
9 Please do not bring in outside vendor food into
this event. The concession stand helps
cover the expenses of hosting this event.

Please note: Warm-up / Compete rotations will be used for
bars, beam & floor. The table vault
will be available in the main gym. You
will warm-up and then compete on that event in a combined rotation. There will be a touch warm-up on bars, beam
& floor competitive equipment to allow any needed adjustments for the
gymnast. Bars, Beam & Floor
rotations will move to their next event simultaneously. Please instruct your gymnasts to remain at
their event until all competition is complete for that rotation.
The complete warm-up and
competition information will be passed out at the coaches meeting.
All
four events will run simultaneously – two officials per event.
Awards
will immediately follow the conclusion of all competition.
Gymnasts may use the set
of bleachers near the practice gym.
Please keep personal items in the locker rooms – limited seating.
The
main bleachers are for the spectators.
Entrance
doors next to the cafeteria (closest to the stadium) will be for spectators.
Teams
will use the gym entrance.
Please remind your fans of the proper doors to use.
A concession stand will be available for
participants and spectators desiring refreshments during the invitational. An eating area will be provided, as food and
refreshments will not be permitted in the gym. Proceeds fund the Recreational Gymnastics
Program. We hope this information covers
all questions with regard to the 2012 Moon Invitational.
