Championships.

each member of the pair/group will be delivered after additional trophies have been
ordered.
 2. Level 7 & below will be simply the highest score in that level. Level 8 and above will
receive the highest score based on the sum of all required routines performed.
Out of state athletes’ procedures:
--Since we have out of state athletes participating their awards will be handled in the
following way: They will receive duplicate medals/ribbons and will be acknowledged in
their own presentation on the awards podium following each award ceremony that
they participate in. For example: Level 6 WP, 1st place in state athletes, 2nd place out
of state athletes, 3rd place in state athletes. The in-state athletes will be called to the
podium first and the awards will be Gold medal and Silver medal to the in-state
athletes. Immediately followed by the out of state athletes will be called to the podium
and awarded their Silver medal.
