Coaches may submit a written request to the National Tournament Committee for a 4th speed judge for athletes that scored at or above the automatic qualifying score for that event, (2019 USA Jump Rope Competition Rule Book, Section 202, O., and Section 205). Written requests must be submitted as part of their team’s registration packet no later than 2 weeks following their regional tournament in order to be considered.
The scores must be officially recorded during the 2019 regional tournament competition. In the case of wildcard athletes in the 18+ age groups, coaches may request a 4th speed judge if those jumpers met or exceeded the qualifying score for that event during a 2018 USAJRF Tournament (Regional, Age-Division Nationals, or Grand Nationals). To be eligible for 4th judge in group events, all the jumpers in the group must be the same as when qualifying score was met.
To be considered for a fourth judge, athlete’s qualifying scores must be at or above the following:
