depends on how they are coachedAlso, this might be a misconception on my side, but do xcel gymnasts have worse form on skills than DP gymnasts?
(Might create a different thread for questions i have lol)

thank you. that makes me more interested in xcel for sureYep, state and regionals for Xcel, I know in our region (r6) it is very hard to get to Xcel regionals. Top 10-20 per level end up going. And definitely not. Some Xcel girls actually end up have much nicer form then DP girls, and there's much more routine flexibility.

got it, thanks guys!I do not think that Xcel gymnasts have worse form. Just like DP, it varies greatly from gym to gym on how they coach and run their program.
No, it’s a requirement from USAG. If you go Xcel, you don’t need it.I've never seen that happen at either gym my kid has gone to. That would really be up to your coaches.
Yes, it is a requirement but it sounds like it is really on the honor system based on a recent post. So, if a coach was willing to move someone up without the score they probably could.No, it’s a requirement from USAG. If you go Xcel, you don’t need it.
alright thanks a lotYes, it is a requirement but it sounds like it is really on the honor system based on a recent post. So, if a coach was willing to move someone up without the score they probably could.
There are requirements for Xcel as well. You could go to Gold with no requirement but for Platinum you would need to score a 31AA or petition in since you are 14 or older.
It is definitely not an honor system. Scores have to be reported to the state admin. If a gymnast competes in a meet and does not have the mobility scores necessary for their level, and they get caught, it negates the sanction for the meet. Scores are being checked, and there is a program in effect that is being implemented to check for fraud scores or lying coaches.Yes, it is a requirement but it sounds like it is really on the honor system based on a recent post.

Yeah, we're not doing that... gym owner refused.. will probably do L4 and L5 same season (hopefully)It is required. Don't take the chance of not getting the required scores.
Sorry, I did not realize people were joking about it. I personally don't know because it did not happen to my dd or any others at her gym. I normally wouldn't quote other people's info from previous posts but those that replied seemed to be very knowledgeable and involved in the sport.When I initially said it was the honor system at the start of this thread. I was joking!

Exactly, the scores exist, we can check them, but like our gym is hosting a meet with thousands of kids. No way is the meet director or anyone involved with registration making sure that all those kids have the required score for the level they’re inI was not joking. Sure… there is a system to check the scores… that doesn’t mean the system is being implemented in all areas.
I did not realize that it is the meet director who would check. I thought it would be usag. I'm assuming that it might happen sometimes but I hope only for kids who are truly ready for the next level and had a real reason for not getting the score.Exactly, the scores exist, we can check them, but like our gym is hosting a meet with thousands of kids.

The meet director will ensure that all the gymnasts attending have a valid USAG number, and it’s already a pain in the *** because inevitably someone forgot to register their kid, or they moved gyms and didn’t update their membership. No one’s taking the time to check their score out scores.I did not realize that it is the meet director who would check. I thought it would be usag.

You’re right about the meet directors not checking mobility scores. The scores are supposed to be submitted to a designated official in the state. They should be checked there so that the meet directors can just rightly assume the gymnasts are in the level the gym claims they are. It’s not the MD’s responsibility to check mobility scores, that responsibility lies with the clubs following the rules and submitting their scores through the proper channels and process, and the state official doing their job.The meet director will ensure that all the gymnasts attending have a valid USAG number, and it’s already a pain in the *** because inevitably someone forgot to register their kid, or they moved gyms and didn’t update their membership.
