COMPETITION DETAILS
EXCITING MEET FORMAT
The 2025 New York North Judges Cup will be held at The R.O.C.K. - Buffalo Niagara Court Center in West Seneca, NY this year. A Modified Non-Traditional (Modified Capital Cup) format will be used for each session, utilizing double sets of equipment for the Vault, Uneven Bars, and Balance Beam along with a shared Floor Exercise. These individual meets will be judged by separate two (2) judge panels and receive their own awards.

We will do our best to schedule teams with coaching issues in mind, but please know that this may not always be possible. We are asking clubs to have adequate coaching staff available in case they have athletes scheduled in both competitions in one (1) session.
