Age Divisions     Difficulty Levels

 

SMALL/LARGE COMBINING

For previously designated “Small” and “Large” divisions based on total team size (see above chart), event producers will combine “Small” and “Large” teams into one division when there are not at least 2 teams registered for each of these respective divisions. (Exception: Divisions will not be combined if a gym has both a “Small” and a “Large” team competing in the same category, so as to avoid having a gym compete against itself.)

 

JUNIOR COED COMBINING

Junior Co-Ed at all levels will be combined with their similar All-Girl divisions (Small Junior, Large Junior) if there are not at least two or more teams in the Junior Co-Ed division for that level.

 

SENIOR OPEN COMBINING

Senior Open at all levels will be combined with their similar “Senior” divisions (Small Senior, Large Senior, Senior Coed) if there are not at least two or more teams in the Senior Open division for that level.

 

SMALL/LARGE SPLITS

For divisions that have not previously been designated “Small” and “Large” based on total team size (ex: Level 3 Junior Coed), event producers will split the division into “Small” and “Large” divisions when there are at least three teams that will ultimately be registered in each respective division.

Small: 5 - 20 members

Large: 21 – 36 members

 

A/B SPLITS

For divisions that are designated “Small” and “Large,” event producers may further subdivide if there are 15 or more teams in the division. Event Producers must use a name such as “Division I”, “Division II” or “Division A”, “Division B” to denote the split and must clearly define the number of competitors permitted on the team for each of these particular divisions. No division may be subdivided further from the “Small” (5-20) and “Large” (21-36) classification if it means that only two teams will be left in a division.

 

COED SPLITS

For co-ed divisions that have not been previously designated "Limited" and "Unlimited" based on total number of males on the team (ex: Level 4 Senior Coed), event producers may split the division into "Limited" and "Unlimited" when there are at least three teams that will ultimately be registered in each respective division. This excludes the "Junior" level.

Limited: 1-4 males

Unlimited: 5+ males

 

SENIOR OPEN SPLITS

Event producers will split these divisions into Small Senior Open and Large Senior and/or Senior Open and Senior Co-Ed Open when there are at least three teams that will ultimately be registered in each respective division.
