1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the following document is to outline the provincial qualification process for participation
at the 2021 Canadian Championships.

As a result of the evolution of the coronavirus pandemic, Eastern and Western Regional Championships
will not be held for the 2021 season. This is largely due to the on-going provincial closures, restricted
inter-provincial travel, and logistical challenges to host an in-person and/or virtual Regional
Championships during a global pandemic. For the 2021 season, provinces will be responsible for hosting
provincial qualification events.

Gymnastics Canada’s provincial partners, the local organizing committee for the 2021 Eastern and
Western Regional Championships, the RG Program Committee and all High Performance coaches were
consulted prior to making this decision.

This document will outline the following:
    1. The purpose of the provincial qualification events;
    2. Provincial qualification event logistics;
    3. The names of the athletes who earned direct qualification to 2021 Canadian Championships
       through 2020 Elite Canada;
    4. The quota’s for each province for the novice, junior open and senior open categories;
    5. The names of the invited athletes in the junior category to make a High Performance pool of 15
       athletes;
    6. The request to participate application process.

2.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of the provincial qualification events is to:
   • Provide a competitive opportunity for developing gymnasts;
   • To act as a qualifying competition for Canadian Championships for national novice, junior, and
       senior open individuals who are not eligible for direct entry as per the 2021 RG Technical Rules
       and Regulation.

3.0 EVENT LOGISTICS
The 2021 Canadian Championships is scheduled for July 22-25, 2021 and August 7, 2021. Please refer to
the event directives for additional details.

GymCan is carefully following the evolution of the coronavirus on the domestic level and how it may
impact Canadian Championships. Situations related to the coronavirus pandemic may arise that require
the tentative Canadian Championships date to be modified. Any modifications, specifically as it relates to
the domestic events structure, will be discussed with GymCan’s provincial partners, in consultation with
the Rhythmic Gymnastics’ (RG) Program Committee and additional working groups/committees as
needed.

The information included in this document is based on Canadian Championships going ahead as
planned on July 22-25, 2021 and August 7, 2021. More details to follow in regards to the Canadian
Championships event format. If scheduled in June, the event will be virtual and Canadian
Championships will follow the RG Virtual Event Guidelines.

As per the RG Technical Rules and Regulations, Eastern and Western Regional Championships are not
official GymCan competitions, therefore the provincial qualification events hosted by the provinces are
under the jurisdiction and responsibility of each province.

It recommended that the competition be held 4 weeks prior to the Canadian Championships dates.

The format, judge panels, competition schedule, etc., of the provincial qualification events are the
responsibility of each province. If the provincial qualification event is hosted virtually, it is recommended
that provinces follow the guidelines outlined in the RG Virtual Event Guidelines document.

Should a province require judge support from a neighboring province, please contact the Senior Program
Coordinator – RG at GymCan (bmosienko@gymcan.org).

All other athletes not named in section 4.0: 2020 High Performance Athletes and section 6.0: Invited
Athletes will need to qualify to Canadian Championships through their provincial qualification event or
through the request to participate application process outlined in section 7.0.

7.0 REQUEST TO PARTICIPATE APPLICATIONS
Should an athlete not participate in the provincial qualification process, GymCan will consider
participation at Canadian Championships for an “extenuating circumstances”. An extenuating
circumstance (e.g. an athlete not able to participate at a provincial qualification event as a result of
contracting COVID-19, and/or for health-related reason, etc.) must be approved by the program
committee. In this case, the athlete must submit a video of four routines, payment of $50, and complete
the application form in Appendix A by June 18 2021. Video recordings must follow the process outlined
in the RG Virtual Guidelines document. Routines will be assessed by two members of the JDWG who
are brevet level in the current cycle and non-affiliated. The All-Around (AA) score must be equal to or
higher than the last gymnast that qualified through said gymnast’s provincial qualification event. Athletes
applying under this category will be ranked by the AA score given by the assigned judges, and once
approved, will be invited based on the ranking until up to three spots for each category (novice, junior
open and senior open) are filled. Should there be more than three applicants per category and each
athlete has a higher All Around average than the last athlete that qualified within their provincial
qualification events, the top three athletes with the greatest difference between the last athlete that
qualified and their All Around score will be invited to attend Canadian Championships.
