I was always under the impression that when it came to # of gymnasts in optionals that Level 6 and 7 had roughly similar numbers, then the number of girls dropped... by an order of magnitude in some cases (like 8-> 9).
I was just curious if things have changed that much since the 2009 and 2012 numbers were published for registered athletes/level. Or if I just don't understand how the # of girls who qualify for regionals is calculated.
The numbers per level for 2016 Region 8 are below:
Level 6: 206
Level 7: 347
Level 8: 448
I would have expected the numbers to decrease... unless of course the issue is that far fewer girls actually qualify for state... much less regionals at the lower levels even though they compete that level??
