British Gymnastics Championships
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The British Gymnastics Championships is an annual artistic gymnastics national competition held in the United Kingdom for elite-level gymnasts. It is organized by British Gymnastics, the governing body for gymnastics in the United Kingdom.[1] It is used as a selection event for the men's and women's national team.
In recent years the competition has taken place near the end of March at the Liverpool Arena and includes men's, women's, junior and espoir competitions, with a joint qualification and all-around followed by apparatus finals.[2]
The British Gymnastics Men's trophy is the oldest in the sport, starting in 1896 with the first women's competition starting in 1924.[3][4] The Royal Albert Hall was the first major venue to host the championships, starting in 1961 until 1971.[5]
Qualification
Senior gymnasts qualify by attaining an all-around ranking through a Home Nation Championships, with the top ranked gymnasts entering the competition (maximum 54). To achieve a ranking, gymnasts will need to be able to provide proof of achieving a minimum score of 41.50 from the previous years British Championships, Home Nations Competition, a regional FIG competition or Club Team Championships. They will then be ranked on their score achieved.[6]
