    WAG Switching from righty to lefty half way through compulsory

    All of the dance (incl leaps and turns) has to be done the same way. Certain skills can be reversed (as indicated by an asterisk), but not the dance. It may be better to do the lefty routine and reverse the gymnastic elements (e.g. round off) to right. Or she can just learn how to leap and turn...

    Challenge cup

    I really think that the British Gymnastics path has become too convoluted. I would support a level system, similar to the US, whilst maintaining floor and vault and perhaps an X-cel-like or watered down levels alongside national levels. The current system excludes so much talent at such a young...

    WAG Moving to South Korea- need help with gymnastics!

    South Korea competes in FIG meets, so the national federation would be a good place to start. If you don't have any luck googling the national federation, FIG (federation Internationale de Gymnastique) should have contact info on their site.

    That shipping cost is ridiculous!

    WAG Spot deductions

    Leaving it out is double the value of the element. A spot is 0.50, plus up to the value of the element, and I believe execution deductions on top of that. I think the back walkover is worth 0.60.

    Off Topic Undergarments for meets

    I don't know what part of the country you are in, but it may be worth looking at places like TJ Maxx, Ross, Marshalls, Bealls etc. I've definitely come across undies that look like they should fit under a leo, but it is hit or miss. Even as an adult, sizing and fit varies SO much in clothing. I...

    British WAG and MAG team

    Disappointing. They are better than this. I think there were too many silly mistakes, which cost both the MAG and WAG a medal. The girls especially look a little out of shape, compared to the USA, and are too tentative. They need to go out there KNOWING they WILL hit.

    WAG Confusion about Optionals...

    Hearts, those skills that you listed, are what my old L5 (L4 under new system) were working during and after their L5(L4) season, and also back tucks on low beam, gainer d/mnts etc. I don't hold kids back, but also it is nice to have kids who are prepared for their current level, so that we have...

    WAG Mckayla Maroney/gymnastike

    To check if back up is activated, I went to the settings tab, and scrolled down until I saw "backup and reset", then I clicked on that. Sorry for 2 posts, Firefox keeps typing backwards, then crashing on me. Technology, huh?!

    WAG Mckayla Maroney/gymnastike

    I just checked my smart phone and tablet, both of which use the Android operating system. Both were set up to automatically backup data to Google servers, even though I have never activated these options. I believe that must have been done automatically on many of the OS updates I've installed...
