| Open Team Cup |
Will be run strictly as a Team Competition
Meet along with the 14+ Open Optional Division AA and Individual
Competition. Open Opts. can compete as part of the Team Cup,
but will not eligible for individual awards as the rules are
different for that group. They can compete the next day as
Class 2s or 1s if they choose, though.
