I know all warmup areas are different but I was thinking about this again yesterday. What if there were some basic requirements that all warmup situations must meet, but still gave the flexibility for Eps to create the area however needed? So in this example as long as the EP's warmup is the same or MORE than what is asked for that is fine.
My idea was:
All warmups must be at least 12 minutes on skill related mats (you can't say stretching is part of the warmup mats).
All warmups must include a full floor (9 panels) for at least 4 minutes.
All warmups must include two tumbling spring strips (I forget the length of a full floor diagonal but that length) with side mats sloping down.
No warmup will be allowed to put any less than 3 mats together on flat floor for warmup.
All warmup stations may not be less than 4 minutes.
This would allow Cheersport to have its hour long warmup but also everyone else to adjust. Any thoughts?
Oh, and while we are at it, all spring floors (whether in warmups or competing) must have an extra half foot after out of bounds and padded sloping sides.
