My daughters competed in a meet over the weekend, and we were all very frustrated by the break-down of the age groups. They were broken down like this:
Level 4:
age 6-7 (16 gymnasts)
age 8 (15 gymnasts)
age 9-11 (29 gymnasts)
age 12+ (3 gymnasts)
Level 5:
age 7-8 (11 gymnasts)
age 9-11 (35 gymnasts)
age 12+ (10 gymnasts)
Of course, each of my daughters ended up the huge age 9-11 age group! Why didn't the gym break down that age group more to make it more even with the others? My level 5 daughter scored a 9.75 on beam, and that was only good enough for 4th....and my level 4 daughter scored a 37.925 in the AA, and that was on enough for 3rd in such a big age group! I don't understand why a gym would leave one age group so big while breaking down the others......
