You obviously have never been to Louisville. Offense taken.Yeah it is a dumb move. I know a lot of kids that are level 6 or 7 on something and level 8 on another. I feel like if you are going to spend a ton of money to go you should get your moneys worth and be able to compete all 3 events if you qualified. It seems like kind of a rip off to go for 1 or 2. and even worse for gyms to decide if they are going to both or one or the either. It made life easier for me as I am a horrible tumbler and only compete level 6 but do level 9/10 on the other events as it made my decision solid to "retire" from tumbling, no point wasting time and wearing out my body training it if I can't compete it at National's and I am not paying for a whole other trip to do level 6 tumbling! I am sure a lot of people are going to be rather upset this year not to mention it is in KY at the chicken center of all places! Who wants to go to KY for any reason (no offence if you have to live there lol)

I'm excited to go to KY...never been there but it looks beautiful.
Having said that, I don't know anyone who likes this split. It is cost prohibitive for the gyms and teams. A lot of kids 5-7 go and really benefit, but the levels 8 and above have greater need. How will gyms and teams choose if they can't afford to do both? It is unfair for USA Gymnastics to do this for this sport that is growing every year and had a wonderful Nationals already. How does it affect Acro and Rythmic? Are they having to make such a big changes?
