PURPOSE: Brittney Hunt Memorial Invitational is in remembrance of Brittney Hunt. We hope to inspire all gymnasts to strive for excellence, not only in sport, but in life! The South Zone Championships is to declare South Zone Champions and to determine the gymnasts that will advance from the South Zone to the 2015 Provincial Championships. It also provides an opportunity for interclub and AGG competitors to perform their routines and receive constructive feedback from rhythmic experts. This opportunity is meant to encourage the participation of a wider group of athletes in competitive gymnastics in Alberta. This portion of the competition will be adjudicated rather than judged and will not require Difficulty and Artistry sheets to be submitted.

Scoring Guidelines for Skill Judge

1 = Attempted skill (no matter how briefly) 2 = Skill performed with major form errors, lack of shape, but somewhat recognizable 3 = Skill performed adequately with some errors in form or shape 4 = Skill performed well with slight errors in form or shape or sloppy ending 5 = Skill performed excellently (clean form, clear shape, controlled finish) A zero (0) should rarely be given. This should only occur, for example, if the gymnast forgets the routine, stands on the floor doing nothing and clearly no attempt to try the skill is even made. Judge WITHIN each level. Criteria for a 4 or 5 out of 5 at Level 1 is not the same as Level 4 (account for slightly less range of motion, strength, etc.) although the skill content of the routine should reflect the level of the gymnast (Level 1 gymnasts perform primarily A skills). Gold is the tope standard. A gold routine at any level should be one of the best routines of the meet.
