In JO, when several girls on a team compete one or so L4 & L5 meets in the fall to score out. Then skip L6 and compete L7 in the Spring. So our L4s, who are used to placing well, are lucky to get a 4th or 5th place. They are competing against girls with L7 skills. On one hand, I do understand that when you want to score out, you have to do it someplace. I just wish it wasn't a blowout in my kid's age group.
I mean, if you are scoring out, those meets probably don't mean anything to you because you are really working at a higher level. So why not do it at an in-house meet or something? Why throw off the placements of the girls that really do care about that meet, their current level, and their placement at meets at their current (accurate) level?
I've just been wondering about this for a long time. I never asked because once I get started, I talk a lot, see?
