- Please make sure that parents or siblings are reminded they are not allowed beyond the stanchions, and that no flash photography is allowed.
- Please make sure your gymnasts store their personal items by the chairs provided at each event prior to March In to allow safe pathways when re-entering the ballroom in the dark during March In.

Award groups will be determined by the amount of gymnasts in each level per session and divided as evenly as possible and practical (not by specific age breaks). Much consideration is given concerning the level and age of the athletes when determining how many will be in an age group. The maximum amount in any age division is 15 gymnasts.
