Due to changes in the audience wheelchair access in Pershing Auditorium, there is a change in the judges stand location. When facing the announcers stand, the judge’s location for all events except figures will be on the right hand side of the auditorium. This is the same location the judge’s were placed during the 2008 Figure National Championships in Lincoln, Nebraska. USARS is sorry for the change of our original plans, but it was out of our control.
