The procedure for Petitions to Regionals will be as follows:

If the Petition is not approved the entry fee will be refunded

Level 9 & 10 Petition score is a 35.00 AA.

Level 8 Petition Information

Use your highest All Around score from this season
All Around score minus 1.00 will be the Petition Score (Gymnasts with a 37.50+ AA would have a Petition Score of 36.50+, and would be guaranteed a spot if the petition is approved)
The Petition Score will be added to the list of gymnasts from State Meets not attaining a 36.50 AA (This is consistent with the policy of Petition Scores being 1.00 higher than the qualifying score)
