Awards are given for both individual and team placement after each session. There is no athlete designation for team (top three scores count). Athletes are divided by birth date into small award groups. 100% All Around is awarded. All athletes are recognized for their commitment & accomplishments! Now for the really fun stuff.tim Rand started the tradition years ago, of rewarding athletes with play money or Twister Bucks throughout their competitive session. At the end of the session, athletes may spend their Twister Bucks at the Mall Table. The Mall Table has all sorts of wonderful items to purchase. The athletes have a great time, and the best part parents are not allowed in the shopping area. Kids can spend their cash however they want! Twister Bucks are earned in numerous ways. Here are just a few examples: Everyone starts out with some cash already. They are then additionally rewarded by their scores on each event and the all around, by showing aggressive rhythm on bars, performing a leap with great amplitude on beam, explosive or high tumbling, a no fall routine, artistry on floor that goes above and beyond, and of course, sticking landings. NEVER will you see the athletes try so hard to stick their landings! Get them psyched now. They could do a lot of damage at the Mall! A complete list of earning potential will be available on event day.
