Most meets will not give a refund after the scratch deadline-some will replace one athlete with another from your gym at the same level however. They still have to run their meet: pay for the facility, judges, etc even when a few kids scratch. The meet's expenses do not change if one or 2 kids scratch each session-and usually all the trophies/ medals/ tshirts/ goody bags have already been ordered-so if you dont get your $ back-at least your DD will still get the goody bag!
On a money level, it makes sense, I totally get that. Just on a personal level, when you are struggling to pay for meets, it doesn't. LOL.
Abby is okay. She hurt her back last week (landed a front layout with her lower back arched weird) and it is still hurting. Her symptoms are very much what a child would have with spondylolysis (lower back stress fracture) and so I am thinking she will be missing at least the meets in January because they are at the beginning of January. X-ray was normal though and I took her out of gym this week, so she will have a break until Jan. 3. Hopefully she will be feeling better by then. A CT Scan is next on the list, so hopefully that will be clear and if she is pain free by that first week, then I will feel okay letting her start back at gym. But she probably still won't be ready to compete.
That said, she was going to go and cheer for her friends anyway, so now she can just wear her stuff, go around with them, scratch each event and hang with them I guess. And get her "free" t-shirt! (I say that because she always says that and I am thinking, it is NOT free, baby).
Thanks for asking guys.
It depends on the meet. Some refund if the injured gymnast has a doctor's note while others do not. I hope it's not Abby who's injured

It is, but she will be okay. I was really freaked out and almost 100% convinced it was spondylolysis, but I now I am calmed down and more leaning toward it just being muscular.
