#2. Change to Prep-Optional sessions should be no longer then 2 ½ hours, and ½ hour for awards for all local meets.  For theme and invitationals, please keep in mind that these groups should get in and out as quickly as possible.
#4. Take out "Advance" and add "Unless approved by the State Chairman".
#5. Add "in advanced"

Some clarifications from Mass are:
   - Air-O-Board may only be used in Rookie and Novice divisions as stated in MA rules
   - Angles of leaps and jumps are not specific to a level.  However, it is expected the higher the division, the greater the angle should be.  Composition will come into play in this instance.
   - Degree of split Beam and Floor
         Since 30*, 60*, 90*, 120*, etc are all allowable elements to choose from, there is no “required” degree for each level.  However, you would expect the degree of the split in increase as does the level of competition. With no required split degree, there would be a deduction taken in Composition of up to .20 for “choice of element”.  The comparable level requirement is okay to use as a reference but keep in mind there in no specific deduction.
