• Team entry will be automatic and free of charge providing a club can nominate a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 5 gymnasts within the categories listed on page 1. The 3 highest scores achieved on each apparatus will count towards the team total.
• There is no limit upon how many teams a club can enter however, they must be clearly denoted on your entry form. Teams may be altered prior to the start of the competition if a team member has to withdraw from the competition due to illness or injury. Please Note - Team entry is for clubs only. Gymnasts registered with different clubs may not combine to form teams.
• We will randomly split large entries received for one section into two or more competitions.
• The final draw will be included with your competition programme, which will be sent to you in advance. Where possible, gymnasts from the same club will be grouped together. Please note that exact timings cannot be confirmed until after the entry closing date and numbers have been confirmed. Please do not contact us for precise timings prior to the entry closing date as these cannot be calculated until we know the exact number of gymnasts competing.
