2022 US Nationals Freestyle Request

September 16, 2022

For the 2022 US Nationals Scoring, we’re requesting PDF copies of Freestyles, the same as for Regional’s. We will be preparing our scoring system in advance, and this saves time on site if we can get as many Free Programs loaded as possible before the start of Nationals.

Please don’t forget, nor hesitate, to resubmit if there are any subsequent changes. Submit via the instructions below.

Thanks,
