The Qualifier
When necessary, the Girls 2 Piece Premier National Championships becomes a 2 tier competition.

In the event of a tie in the 2 Piece Premier National Championships, where it may matter about placings when qualifying for the Girls 5 Piece Premier National Championships, the totals of the teams’ top 4 vault scores will be compared. In the case of this being tied then the decision will go on the totals of the top 3 vault scores and so on.
