Good afternoon, Coaches, Judges and Club Owners!
Like many of you, I can’t believe how quickly this season has flown by! As we approach our Championship meets, I wanted to wish you all the best and provide some important updates and reminders regarding Regionals and beyond.
Regional Qualifying Scores
- Levels 7-10: 34.00 AA or 9.0 as an Event Specialist

*Prior to Dev Nationals, Tiffany (RDPCC) and Sandy (RACC) will send the Committee the “current” Regional and Western Championship standings, using the exsisting point system. The points will continue to be accrued through the final session of Dev Nationals. When all points are tallied, the top three clubs will be sent to the Committee. The Committee will then vote on the Regional Program of the Year, using the National criteria as found in R&P on page 82.
a. Program exhibits excellence at multiple developmental Program levels with an emphasis at the highest level in the current year.
b. Displays good sportsmanship, team spirit and ethics
c. Contributes to regional efforts (camps, clinics, congress, volunteer positions)
While the Committee will take into consideration hosting camps and sending athletes to camps, no set points will be awarded.
The Committee agrees that we would want to add an Xcel Program of the year. Diane Palmer advised us that this is a National Committee discussion and we will await the criteria.
