Competition Area:
This is a USAG sanctioned event so only team coaches, competing athletes, judges, and meet officials will be allowed on the competition floor. Please remind parents and non-competing team members of this rule.
Event Finals:
The Fiesta Jam event finals is our highlight event, it is a fun, exciting event for the athletes and the spectators.
Qualifying for the Fiesta Jam will be as follows:
- Level 9: Top 3 Juniors and top 3 Seniors on each event from each session
- Level 10/Open: Top 3 Juniors and top 3 Seniors on each event from each session
For the Fiesta Jam, athletes are limited to 2 events (athletes who qualify on more than two events will have the opportunity to choose which events they want to compete).
Finalists will be announced following the awards ceremonies, and coaches, parents, and athletes will receive more info at that time, including schedules, procedures for athlete’s parents to attend, etc. Alternates will also be named; they will be invited to attend in case of last-minute scratches. However, alternates will not receive a leotard unless they are competing.
Scores: Scores from each session will be posted following completion of each session as well as online at www.alamoclassic.com/results
Awards: There will be Individual and All Around awards presented to the athletes in each age group following each competitive session.
- Compulsory Level 2-3: Achievement ribbons w/All Around medal
- Compulsory Levels 4-6: 50% Individual events and 100% for all around, Level Team Awards for 50% of teams at each level (No Achievement Divisions)
- Optional Levels 7-10/Open: For individual awards, every age group is divided up into between 5 and 10 age groups, and this is done evenly, rather then by a specific age. For example, in level 8, there may be 6 age groups: The youngest 1/6 will be Junior A; the next 1/6 will be Junior B and so on. If there is more than one session of a level, the same numbers of age groups apply for every session, though exact dates will differ.
- Team: Team scores will be determined by top 3 scores per event for each team entered. Top 3 teams at each level will receive unique team awards.
