State Calendar Planning Procedure

All clubs need to notify Cathy Bennion (cbennion@usagutah.com ) with the number of competitions they intend to host prior to the calendar meeting each year.  If you are planning to host a meet in the Fall Compulsory Season or during Optional/Spring Compulsory season, then you would email me with the intent to host 2 meets, one in each season. It is recommended that you send a representative to the draw from your club or notify Cathy with how you can be reached the night of the draw. Any club 100 miles from the Draw site, may be included in the in the 1st Draw but must get dates to the SACC.
 
There will be 2 drawings:

Drawing #1: Any club or organization interested in hosting a meet will be put into a hat. Names will be drawn out one by one. If your name is drawn, you will select ONE weekend on which your club would like to host a competition. (You may select one weekend only at that time.) If your club wishes to host a second competition, you must wait until drawing #2 to select a second date. All gyms hosting an invitational in an outside facility that would like to secure their date on the calendar, will not have a second meet date choice until the 2nd draw.
 
Drawing#2: Any club or organization interested in hosting a second competition will be put in the hat and the process will continue as described above. If there are still weekends available, then we will draw a 3rd time.
 
The committee strongly encourages clubs to collectively schedule no more than two competitions on a compulsory or optional weekend due to availability of judges. The state cannot and will not deny any organization the ability to host a meet, however, judges will be assigned by NAWGJ Utah to the first 2 meets assigned on the calendar prior to any other events. Any competition hosted in an outside facility is eligible to be put on the state calendar rather than going through the above selection process. (Again, though, it will be considered their 1st draw date pick.) Please notify the SACC  (cbennion@usagutah.com)with your Invitational dates (outside facility meets only) any time prior to the scheduled calendar meeting.

*** All requests for judges must be postmarked by July 1 of each calendar year for your meets. All requests received by that date will be assigned equally with local judges if possible. There will be request for judge’s forms and stamped self addressed envelopes available for you at the draw.
