Introduction

 

The 1999 National Championships consisted of two rounds of competition. The preliminary round of competition was held on Wednesday, August 25, 1999. All around finals were held on Friday August 27, 1999. Hartung and Orlofsky were the A panel judges. Freidheim, Boulton, Schott and Cook were the B panel judges. FIG rules were used with special USA bonus points.

This report contains a routine description from the All Around finals session from the top 18 all around competitors. Start values, USA bonus, and final scores from both rounds are listed, but the routine description and notes are from the All Around Finals session.

The routine descriptions came from the judging symbols that Michael Cook used during his B panel evaluation of the routines.

The routine notes came from discussions and a consensus among all the judges of the Rings panel.
