What does MAQ mean?

Saw this acronym/abbreviation in my rink's freestyle schedule (as a level, eg, "MAQ and above"). But what in the world does it mean? Minimum age to qualify? Masters adult quality? More addlepated quilters? Any clues?

Looks like they define it as PreJuvenile or Adult Pre-Bronze through Silver

I give up - what does it REALLY stand for, for those of you who DO know the answer?

Hey, Casey, that's my club's website--I just noticed that earlier today (they just updated the website, after a looooooong period of old, old info). Funny that they don't bother defining the acronym. Everyone's favorite candidates welcomed. Most Audacious Quintessential? My Aggravated Quadricep? (I like that last one--injured a quad in college, thanks to hellish ski team training--and it took over a year for it to finally feel normal.)

Here's my guess, given that the context is a freestyle schedule:

minimum ability to qualify

I was thinking something like this. Maybe "Meets all qualifications" meaning you have to be able to do certain skills in order to be on there, you can't just be a beginner learning to march
