Working Prerequisites for Moving Up

April 8, 2024

In Working, when a higher class was entered before the prerequisite lower class Qs had been earned, the required Q at the lower class was credited by using the higher class Q. This will no longer be allowed so please ensure you have earned the prerequisites before moving up.

The rule in the current Working Handbook page 10 section 2.6.12 will be enforced: Once a team has earned the required 3 passes under a minimum of two different judges for an exercise, they are qualified to move up to the next class for that exercise.
