Team Fee Examples

For Nationals, there are individual fees and team fees. All Nationals competitors must pay individual fees. These are $65/individual due March 1 (with late fee of $20/individual if paid after March 1). Individual fees are discounted to $60/individual if paid before Feb 1.

As a team you can decide if you want to pay team fees. By paying team fees, your team will be included in the team competition, will be eligible for team finals and will qualify for the mercy rule (meaning that one person will be guaranteed a spot in finals). These are $100/team due March 1 (with late fee of $25 if paid after March 1).

You can have 8 people per team per event. For the team score, top 4 women's scores and top 3 men's scores per event are totaled.

Here are some examples ....

If you had a team of 12 girls, but not everyone did all around, so you had 6-8 people competing each event ... The 12 girls would need to pay NAIGC membership fees (since only members can compete) and Nationals individual fees. This team of 12 people could decide to pay the team fee or could opt out of the team competition (and also forfeit the mercy rule for finals).

If you had a team of 3 girls, who all did all-around thus having 3 people competing each event ... The 3 girls would need to pay NAIGC membership fees (since only members can compete) and Nationals individual fees. This team of 3 people could decide to pay the team fee or could opt out of the team competition (and also forfeit the mercy rule for finals). Given that 4 scores constitute a women's team score the team would likely not qualify for team finals. However they might still pay the team fee so that one person was guaranteed a spot in finals (by the mercy rule).
