I wonder if Chellsie is planning to make another run at competing this year.
 
Chellsie is scheduled to judge American Classic, which makes me think she’s done with elite (again), but not like she’s said one way or another.
 
Ah okay. Her recent SM posts suggest she’s more in “playing” mode than serious training mode, though clearly she’s still in ridiculously good shape. So that seems to back up what you’re suspecting, though I’d like you to be wrong in this case!
 
Is she allowed to compete and judge in the same qualifying series?
 
It’s USAG, so who knows. But it’s certainly a bit of a conflict of interest, no?
 
I mean, I’m 100% sure that Chellsie’s judicial integrity would not be affected in any way. She’s simply not that kind of person.

It’s the appearance of conflict, that’s the issue.

It’s like Sylvia judging Aly at Nationals. Or Kittia judging Gabby.
 
USAG never seems to try to avoid a bad appearance.
