the past 3 different sportsman routines and just rotate them on a yearly basis.
This is nice because it doesn't requires a committee to come up with a routine
every year for those levels.&nbsp; Advanced might also fall into this category
as well, but definitely not Masters.&nbsp; They need a routine committee
