By DEBBIE HILL Herald Correspondent It's decision time for women's AUTO SERVICE CENTERS Intercollegiate Gymnastics. For the past three months, most team scores around the U.S. have been hovering in the 175 to 173 range. Suddenly, within the last week, the scores have zoomed up to the 189 range. That represents a .6 to 1 point gain. When most gymnastics teams win meets by five points it is like winning a basketball game 75 to 0. It's quite a jump in averages. Why this sudden influx in scores? Simple. The regional meets are two weeks away. The only way into these competitions is based on the UJ3 following formula. Each team must add their two highest home scores to their two highest away scores. To this they then add one more, which can be at home or away. The total is then divided by 5, to get the seasonal average. Six teams are invited to each of the given regional championships. They are the six with the highest average. This accounts for the panicked scores. It doesn't really matter if the team wins or not. The score is the important thing. It is possible for a team to lose every meet in their season, but one, and become the national champions. If a team lost all their regular season meets, but had one of the six highest seasonal averages in their region, they would qualify for regionals. They then could finish second or third in regionals, and with a high bid to score, receive an nationals. They could then win their first meet of the year and become national champions. The region BYU is in has developed into a real dogfight. It is by far the strongest region in the country. Utah, Arizona State, Arizona and Oklahoma have already qualified. The remaining two spots will be decided this weekend. Right now, BYU seems to be in fifth place. Minnesota, Nebraska and possibly New Mexico are within one point of BYU. The Cougar women must do well Friday night in a final meet in Logan against Utah State. Right now, the team has a 179.65 average. Anything above a 178.40 will raise this average. A 180 average should get BYU in.
