However, some locals find the need to create physical DVDs for the routines so that their athletes can bring it home as a learning aid. Mario created a routine DVD of all the compulsory routines so that it can be copied/mailed out to all the locals. - SOBC created a Facebook group specifically for rhythmic gymnastics facilitate sharing and networking between coaches and judges. It is working well even though there are some still some skeptics. - Videos from the SOC Nationals in 2014 were used as a resource of officials training for exe- cution since the concepts are dependent on the choreography of routines. A repository has been created to store the viewpoints from different judges to facilitate a baseline for judges training. All officials training were done on demand and it greatly helped make more judges available. - This really helped bridge geographic gaps within BC training/working from a common base of interpretation of the rules.
