NY State Injury Petition Rule:
In the event that a gymnast was able to compete in an 'out of state' competition but then was injured for a significant part of the season, the gymnast may petition into states using an 'out of state' score, as long as they can provide the following:
- A doctors note with proof of injury.
- A coaches note explaining the conflict.
- Proof of All-around score THAT MUST BE .5 above the normal NY State qualifying score.
The meet can be out of NY state but must be sanctioned and posted online. The score must be from the same season that the gymnast is being petitioned into and at the same level. The petition must be submitted ahead of the State competition entry deadline. Once the petition is submitted, it will be reviewed by the State Chairmen and accepted or denied.
