Team Scoring
Team scores will be determined by Rule 4, Section 2, Article 2, 3 & 4 in the National Federation Rule book.
The top three individual scores will be totaled to determine a team’s event score.

Order of Events
The order of events shall be determined by draw for the teams.

Order of Competition
The order of competition will be determined by block style in the qualifying meets and in the finals. After the entry forms have been received, the sessions will be determined by random draw. Only schools traveling the greatest distance will be given consideration for change.

Number of Entries
Each team may enter four gymnasts per event, which will include all-arounds. More than one all-around may be entered. Only the top three scores will be totaled to determine a team’s event score.

Gymnasts
All teams and gymnasts must (except when prevented by injury) participate in a minimum of three (3) GHSA sanctioned varsity meets during the regular season in order to be eligible to participate in the state qualifying meet. (GHSA By-Law, page 71, D-6)

Team substitutions are permitted at the finals during the competition in case of an injury. Any individual that does not compete in the area meet, must meet all other requirements to be a substitute in the state finals.
