The other big question is how all of this will work for team awards. I wonder if, for instance, they would let JD scores count if a JO team does not have enough guys? Better a 9.0 than a 0, right?
In our state, no. During a parent meeting at our state clinic, we were told the plan calls for a minimum of three kids to be needed to be eligible for team awards in one division, with the exception of L4. So, 3 kids to be eligible for L5 Div 1, and a second 3 kids to be eligible for L5 Div 2. But this may be tweaked in future years, depending on how this year goes. Sort of a bummer for small teams.
Edit: To add, I'm also thinking we were told that awards may vary some meet to meet (smaller meets may combine Div1&Div2 scores for team score), though it's possible I dreamt that. But what I said originally will be the case for state.
