Presidents Update – February 2018

President’s Update
February 1, 2018

To All NGJA Members,
Here is an NGJA update for February 2018.

  1. 2018 New Year’s Resolution – “Comfortability leads to Contentment!” Don’t let yourself get comfortable with
    the rules. Always prepare for your upcoming competitions and don’t rely on studying at the event!
  2. 2018 NCAA Judging Season – don’t let up now, keep applying the FIG rules at NCAA competitions!
    a. Road to Nationals – Go to roadtonationals.com then Men, then Charts, then All Team Charts to see the
    Home/Away difference!
    b. All “NCAA” Challenge routines used and evaluated in the December NCAA challenge are great for
    competition preparation!
    c. New NCAA routines will be posted every 2 weeks. These routines are evaluated by the NGJA Jr., Sr. and
    NCAA National Apparatus Leaders. Similar to the challenge routines, you can judge, review and
    compare your work at your pace.
  3. The 2018 JO Judging Season – all “JO” Optional, Compulsory and Technical Sequence routines used and
    evaluated in the 2017 fall JO challenges are great for competition preparation! You can access any of these
    routines to prepare for your judging assignments during the competition season at NGJA.org.
  4. National Assignments Posted– Congratulations to all the judges chosen to judge the NCAA Championships,
    Winter Cup, US Qualifier and P & G Championships. All assignments are posted under the membership tab at
    NGJA.org.
