INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this document is to clarify the 2013 FIG Code of Points, and subsequent
clarifications from FIG (Newsletters and the Judges Help Desk document) and
standardize its interpretation and application in Canada. The Canadian Models are
circulated in a separate document.
MODIFICATIONS:
The January 2014 edition of the Code Supplement is designed to assist with the
application of the 2013 Code of Points. Material has been removed from this supplement
that duplicates information contained in the 2013 Code of Points. The main purpose of
the Code Supplement is to provide clarifications to the Code and adaptations that are
valid in Canada as well as information about correct technique. Modifications made to
previous versions of the Supplement are identified as follows in the left margin:
ADD =
Addition
CLA
= Clarification of existing text
MOD = Modification of existing text
The following abbreviations are used:
PD-AG
=
Program Director, Artistic Gymnastics
TBC
=
a confirmation will be sought/is expected from the FIG.
VICO
=
valid in Canada only.
NEW INTERPRETATIONS / IN CASE OF A DOUBT:
a)
New interpretations:
No new interpretation may be introduced at a national level competition unless
written notification has been circulated by GCG before the competition.
It is understood that a province may put emphasis on certain aspects of the Code
or even modify certain regulations and guidelines. This is their privilege within their
area of jurisdiction. However judges must ensure that provincial
emphasis/modifications are not automatically transferred to national level
competitions.
Execution is to be judged according to the FIG Code of Points, and Section II of
the Supplement.
b)
In case of a doubt:
In case of a doubt regarding the current interpretation of a rule, the benefit of the
doubt will be given to the gymnast until clarification has been received from GCG.
The concept of “benefit of the doubt” is to be applied only in cases where the rule is
unclear according to the judges, not when there is a different interpretation of the
rule between the coach and the panel or jury.

SECTION 2
REGULATIONS FOR GYMNASTS
2.1.
Rights of the Gymnast
APPARATUS
Safety Directives
WAG has several developmental programs, which authorize modifications to the FIG
specifications for equipment.
Refer to the current edition of the Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Equipment Specifications
and Measurements Procedure for detailed information on safety directives.
The directives apply for all WAG national level competitions and GCG sanctioned domestic
inter-provincial or international club competitions. The deductions regarding extra mats are
below.
For National Level competitions, additional safety measures may be taken by the Superior
Jury on an ad-hoc basis to ensure that the safety of the athletes is not compromised.
Deduction in Case of Use of Unpermitted Additional Matting on UB - by D1 Judge
a)
If the safety mat is slid in, the 0.50 deduction will be applied if the 20 cm safety mat is
left in place, immobile too long - maximum 2 moves preceding and following each
acceptable element.
VICO
b)
There is a 0.50 deduction if the 20 cm safety mat is under the rail and no D, E, F or G
release element is performed. (Except for Novice and Open)
VICO
Balance Beam: Supplementary mat:

Supplementary mats are only available on one end of the beam only.

All gymnasts are expected to dismount on the same end of the beam.
Mount and dismount:
ADD:
Exception:

400 cm at one end of the beam (dismount end)
500 cm at the other end (mount run up area)
Gymnasts may place the supplementary mat at the side of the beam for
dismounts to the side. (coach should inform the D1 that the supplementary mat
will be moved)
Equipment Set-up and Verification
a)
It is the responsibility of the Organizing Committee to set-up the equipment according
to the directives and specification. The PD-AG and Canadian Head Judge or their
representatives will ensure that the equipment is correctly set up. The Canadian Head
Judge or Assistants will check it at the beginning of each training day. The
Competition Head Judge will ensure that the directives and specifications are in effect
at the beginning of the warm-up of the session.
b)
The verification of apparatus will include the lines on the regular and supplementary
mats for Vault.

c)
The D1 is responsible for ensuring the correct equipment specifications are verified
prior to the warm-up for each competition session.
Withdrawal from Competition (Scratches)
a)
If a gymnast will be withdrawing from the competition and the decision to do so is
made prior to or during competition warm-up, the coach of the gymnast must inform
the PD-AG, who will inform the Chief Scorer and the Canadian Head Judge.
b)
c)
VICO
During competition, gymnasts may warm up on the event apparatus as permitted by
the rules as outlined in the Code of Points or in the Code Supplement. Gymnasts
may not warm up on other event apparatus. i.e. when warming up for beam, using
the floor exercise mat unless authorized, for a given session, by the Canadian Head
Judge (or designate) or the PD-AG.
Elite Canada and Canadian Championships: Warm up for all Categories – see
Women’s Program Manual Section 5.2.5
Preparation of Equipment
a) During the competition, the apparatus may be prepared ahead of time but the gymnast
may not warm up on the apparatus before the official time begins.
b) A coach whose athlete was on Vault may prepare the rails when the competition on
UB is finished, upon permission of the D1.
c) Following the warm-up period or during the “competition pause” the apparatus may be
prepared (max. 2 persons on UB) but not used.
2.1
VICO
If a gymnast will be withdrawing from the competition after the competition has
begun, the coach must inform either the Canadian Head Judge or the Competition
Head Judge who will then inform the Chief Scorer and the D1 of each event.
Warm-Up
a)
Unauthorized warm-up will be considered as unsportsmanlike behaviour with direct
impact on the result/performance of the gymnast/team. The Canadian Head
Judge will warn the offending coach first then if necessary shall give a Yellow Card
and the corresponding deduction of 0.50 will be taken from the gymnast’s final score
on that event.
b)

Responsibilities of the Gymnast
Competition Attire
a) Incorrect attire is taken only one time per Competition Phase. Non-transparent is
defined as follows: the skin cannot be seen beneath the fabric. For competition, ‘cutouts’ are not permitted on the body of the leotard. The body of the leotard is defined as
per the FIG Code. (In front, from the line marked by half of the sternum and below. In
back, from the line marked by the shoulder blades and lower.) Sleeveless leotards are
permitted, therefore, transparent material and/or ‘cut-outs are accepted on the sleeve
area.

b) Competitions I (Qualification) and IV (Team Finals): It is not relevant how many
gymnasts do not wear identical leotards. The deduction is 1.00 from the Team score.
P/T with individual gymnasts do not have to wear identical leotards.
c) The Canadian Head Judge takes the deduction of 1.00 for different competition attire
from the team score total, for the team competition if the P/T has a team. This rule
applies to the Canadian Championships and the Canada Games.

d) Advertising must meet the FIG Publicity Rules. The Superior Jury (Canadian Head
Judge in Canada) will be notified if it is not appropriate. It is then the responsibility of
the Chair of the Superior Jury (Canadian Head Judge in Canada) to take the deduction
from the gymnast/event/score.
2.1.2
e) In case of a lost or forgotten number, the athlete must obtain a replacement number
from the Organizing Committee for the price determined by the Host Organization.
VICO
f)
VICO
Gymnasts are not permitted to wear headbands. The Canadian Head Judge will first
warn the gymnast then if necessary shall apply the deduction for incorrect attire.
g) Body bandages must be beige or skin coloured when available from the Manufacturer.
Padding can be considered as a protector such as sponge on hips and ankles and is
not allowed. ‘Chinese ankle guards’ are acceptable if not too large. The Canadian
Head Judge will first warn the gymnast then if necessary shall apply the deduction of
0.30 for incorrect attire.
FIG
NATIONAL
COURSE
As per the Code of Points Regulations for Gymnasts (Section 2 Page 1): “Warm-up –
Following the warm-up period or during the ‘competition pause’, the apparatus may be
prepared but not used.” This includes the matting at an event. i.e. saltos on the beam
mat while waiting for the green light or signal to begin, are not permitted.
As per the Code of Points Regulations for Gymnasts (Section 2.3.1 Page 2): “She must
leave the podium immediately after the conclusion of her exercise”. In Canada this is
interpreted as also meaning that gymnasts may not perform a skill(s) as they are
leaving the apparatus area. i.e. on beam during the routine gymnast fell on back salto –
on leaving the apparatus the coach has gymnast perform element again on the landing
mat.

3.4
Inquiries During the Competition in Canada
Refer to Section 4 of the WPM for directives on inquiries and protests.
Protests
a) Coaches have the opportunity to make an inquiry or submit a protest regarding their
gymnast’s D and E Scores, as well as the time and line deductions. This inquiry or
protest gives the opportunity to the judges to review their work to be sure that the D
Score and Final Score are correct. If warranted, a change will be made.
b) It is the responsibility of the D1 and D2 judges to ensure that the D Score and the E
Score are correct for every gymnast. The D Score and E Score will be reviewed before
they are flashed in order to decrease the number of inquiries and protests. Due to this
additional monitoring, the D and E Scores are less likely to change should an inquiry or
protest occur.
c) If a protest is received for an E Score, a change will occur only if it will make a significant
difference.
d) Protests submitted for the last event that can be construed as submitted only to benefit a
gymnast’s AA score must be reviewed prudently.
Following a protest when a change is made to the D Score and/or E Score the
following will occur:
a) The Canadian Head Judge or Competition Head Judge will return the protest form and
the protest fee to the coach. The Canadian Head Judge or the Competition Head Judge
will explain the rationale for the change to the coach.
b) The Canadian Head Judge or Competition Head Judge will inform the Chief Scorer of
the change.
c) The score will be posted (on a distinctive color paper), in one of the waiting areas at the
designated location. It is the responsibility of coaches to check the designated location
for any changes to scores.

Functions of the D Panel
Page 10
VICO
a)
The D1 and D2 judges determine the D Score jointly, which will include the Canadian
Model. Discussion is allowed including consultation with the E panel judges on the D
Score. The D1 and D2 judges must come to an agreement on the D Score. If there is
no agreement, the D panel judges will discuss the D Score with the E panel judges.
The D Score agreed to by the majority of the D and E panel judges will prevail.
b)
The D2 judge flashes the D Score after the E deductions have been submitted by the
E panel judges.
VICO
c)
The D1 judge calculates the average E deduction, Final Score and applies neutral
deductions (e.g. time and line). She monitors the work of the secretary/scorer and the
flasher. She informs the flasher and ensures the E Score is flashed before the next
gymnast receives the signal to start her vault/exercise for ALL National level
categories. She makes the necessary changes on the score sheet following the
adjustment of D or E Score. She informs the Canadian Head Judge of the change.
VICO
d)
The D1 and D2 must duly record a control score of all exercises for the purpose of
evaluation of the E Score and to control the total evaluation and final score for each
exercise. This is to assure that the gymnast is given the correct score for her
performance.
VICO
e)
The D2 judge:
posts the D Score
ensures that the D Score is seen by the judges on the panel, the coaches,
television and the public. The D Score is posted until the D1 judge is ready to
give the signal to the next gymnast.
monitors the work of the timer(s)
f)
The decision to adjust the D Score must be taken by both D judges. A decision to
adjust the Final Score due to a modification to the E Score must be taken by all the
judges on the E panel. Problems and special cases are referred to the Competition
Head Judge or to the Canadian Head Judge.
g)
No judge is obligated to change her score but reaching an agreement amongst panel
members is highly desirable.
h)
The D1 judge is responsible to ensure that the equipment meets the specifications on
her apparatus.
JDWG
Feb. 2004
Functions of the E Panel
The E judges may indicate on their slip:
- a questionable difficulty value or connection
- spotting assistance by coach
VICO
Once the deductions are submitted, E judges may wish to determine the D Score.
Occasionally, they may alert the D judges if they believe that the D Score should be different.
However, this must not lead to a discussion of the D Score by the judges on a regular basis.
VICO
Functions of the Secretaries
The Secretary/scorer records all D Scores, E deductions, average deductions, E Score,
neutral deductions and Final Score on the score sheet. She checks the calculation of the
average score and the final score as part of the verification process. She informs the D1
judge in case of discrepancy. The use of electronic scoring may modify this process.
Gymnastics Canada Gymnastique

Process for Flashing Vault Scores when electronic scoring is used:
VICO
a)
st
1 Vault:
D Score is flashed manually
E Score is flashed manually
Final score is sent for electronic flashing
b) If a gymnast performs a second vault the same process is repeated with the
flashing of the D and E Scores manually. Then depending on the rules for the
category either the best score of the 2 vaults is sent for electronic flashing or the
average score is sent for electronic flashing. (See Canadian Models for specific
rules.)
Process for Flashing Vault Score when electronic scoring is not used:
st
a) 1 Vault:
D Score is flashed manually
E Score is flashed manually
Final score is flashed manually
b) If a gymnast performs a second vault the same process is repeated with the
flashing of the D and E Scores manually.
c) In finals it is not necessary to flash the average score.
VICO
Meeting After Each Competition Session
VICO
Judges will reconvene in the judges’ meeting room in order to:
address any remaining protest(s);
address concerns/issues when there are two (or more) sub-divisions in a competition;
participate in the post-session evaluation meeting, when appropriate.
SECTION 7 – REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE D SCORE
Extra step
“Without an extra step” means the free leg of the first element after landing is placed
immediately as the stand or take off leg for the following element.
The definition applies to dance, acro and mixed series and connections.

one foot landing - one foot take-off
This is a direct connection.
e.g. on beam
cat leap ½ turn with push-off from L leg and land on R leg followed immediately by a
cat leap 1/1 turn with push-off from L leg

A
B
one foot landing - two foot take-off
There is a direct connection if the free foot of the first element is placed immediately
next to the landing foot, to execute a two foot take off of the second element. An
assemblé (take off from one foot and land on two feet) will break a series.
e.g. on beam
Split leap with leg change followed by a tuck jump with ½ turn.
C

two foot landing - two foot take-off
If the first element finishes with a two foot landing, the second element must start
with a two foot take off.
e.g. on beam
Split jump followed immediately by a straddle pike jump.

SECTION 8 – REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE E SCORE
Fall during the intermediate time
If a gymnast falls while remounting the Beam or the Bars (after a fall), there will be a
1.0 deduction even if the timing of the exercise has not resumed.
2012 FIG INTERCONTINENTAL
COURSE Q&A
Attempt without performing an element - 0.30
This is applied when it is obvious to the judge that the gymnast changed her mind and
doesn’t perform an element.
- E.g. On beam gymnast starts a run for an acro element, changes her mind and just
runs down the beam. The gymnast did not fall but clearly shows an empty pass. The
judges must clearly see the intention of the gymnast and apply the deduction only
when it is a definite error.
- If the gymnast is able to cover up with choreography and the judge is not able to
specifically recognize an empty pass the deduction will not be applied.

Landing faults:
Body posture on landing
The new point of reference is the head for body position upon landing:
- Head at hip level – 0.10
- Head at knee level – 0.30
The point of reference upon landing in a squat is the hips:
- Hips slightly above knees – 0.10
- Hips below the level of knees – 0.30
- Deep squat – 0.50
2012 FIG
INTERCONTINENTAL
COURSE
A Lunge is considered as a step. Deduction 0.10/0.30, only for acro elements on floor.
Landing should be with legs together and in control.
2012 FIG
INTERCONTINENTAL
COURSE
-
When there is a step on dance element (turns) or a dance movement (not
necessarily an element of value), the deduction will be - 0.10/0.30 for lack of balance.
There is no deduction for precision, therefore an over turn may not be deducted.
Very large step or jump (more than shoulder width): 0.30
- The guideline for shoulder width is to consider the space between the heel of the front
foot and the toes of the back foot.

Desk
Landing Deductions:
 On a landing with several steps and then a fall, deduct only for the larger deduction.
i.e. fall 1.00.
 Deep squat and Fall = maximum deduction 1.00 (deductions for height must also be
taken if it applies).
 Deep squat and Steps = maximum deduction 0.80 (deductions for height, must also
be taken if it applies).

SECTION 10 – VAULT
10.1
ADD
a) If the safety collar is placed in the wrong position for round-off entry vaults, or if the
safety collar is “reversed” or is not close to the springboard, the vault is “0”. (A warning
to the Coach is permitted). The safety collar may be used for other vaults without
penalty.
ADD
b) The hand placement mat for round-off entry vaults may not be used for other vaults.
Improper use will result in a penalty of 0.50
10.2
Running Approach
a) Permitted running approaches: definition of an approach: more than one step.
An empty run is deducted - 1.00 taken from the final score of the performed vault.
10.3
The gymnast is in the list of qualifiers for C-III.
Example:
1st attempt – No Vault (without touching, etc.)
2nd attempt – No Vault (without touching, etc.)
3rd attempt – Vault performed
rd
The gymnast should not be allowed to perform a 3 attempt as she must first perform a
vault for C-I and then for C-III. In this case, the gymnast performs the maximum of 2
attempts without receiving any score. For Team/All-Around Total thE Score is thus ‘0’.

Identification of Vaults
a) Two possible values
If the vault performed cannot be easily identified, i.e. it cannot be distinguished from

COMPOSITIONAL REQUIREMENTS - CR
CR 2 – Flight element on same bar
ADD

Element 1.103 (straddle cut) does not fulfill this CR because it is not flight over the
same bar.

The ‘vault’ type elements 3.309 (C) and 2.202 (B) do fulfill the CR - 2 BUT only if the
gymnast releases the bar with both hands.

If the gymnast only releases 1 hand - no flight is credited and the CR - 2 will not be
credited for this element as performed AND the element will receive 1 DV lower (D
panel). The E panel will not apply deductions for insufficient height.

Elements 5.108, 5.105, 5.506 The sole circle with straight or bent legs will receive an A
value. If the legs bend at any time during the circle there will be deductions for bent
legs. There will also be a deduction 0.50 (a bar change without performing an element)
when followed by jump to HB and possibly deductions for the preceding cast.

Straddle Sole circle and Pike Sole circle are the same elements.
CR 4 - Non-flight element with 360º turn (No MT)


The mount or dismount may not be used to meet the Compositional requirement of a
non-flight element with 360° turn. e.g. 1.509 (round-off flic-flac with 1/1).
Examples: Giant hop 1/1 (3.401) and Caslavska pirouette (2.303) CAN fulfill the
composition requirement for a non-flight element with an LA turn of 360 °.

Giant Circles Prior To Flight Or Dismount:
 Giant circles (accelerating technique) without turns prior to flight elements or dismounts
have no deduction for not passing through handstand and they keep the same DV.

After a fall the judging resumes as soon as the gymnast performs the first element. No
deductions are taken for the way the gymnast returns to the bar.
If fall off UB
 apparatus
C
when do we take ‘bar change without performing an element’
deduction?


Answer: After a fall, we start to judge the routine from the first element performed. The
stand on the LB is not an element so when the gymnast jumps from LB to HB we start
judging at the circle or kip…so in this example there is no deduction for a bar change
without performing an element.
But, if the gymnast restarts the routine on the LB with glide kip then jumps on the LB to
stand and re-grasp the HB, then the 0.50 deduction would apply because we start
judging from the first element performed which in this example is the glide kip.

The deduction for Intermediate swings (more than one) in the same place is taken only
once.

A glide ½ turn glide on LB does not receive a deduction for empty swing. It is not a
stretched hanging swing but a variation of a glide element, and is considered a
different element from the glide kip.
If performed on the HB, it is then considered an empty swing (if below horizontal),
as it is a hanging swing.

SECTION 12 - BALANCE BEAM
12.1
Timing of Intermediate (Fall) Time: (10 sec. maximum)

The D2 judge will ensure that the Beam timer communicates the elapsing time by
counting out loud the 10 second limit (i.e. 1,2,3,...10).

At the count of 10, a final verbal warning signal of “Time” will be announced clearly and
loudly by the timer. The D1 will also announce that the exercise is ended.
Lack of signal for overtime
On Beam, the deduction for overtime is waived if the timer did not give the warning
signal at 1 min. 20 or did not signal the end of the exercise at 1 min. 30. All other
relevant deductions apply.


Principles for Direct Connection:
- Gymnast must land with arms slightly forward or back and immediately move into
next element. Arms must be already placed for the second element to
avoid additional arm swings.
- Arm swings will break the connection – even if gymnast has continuous movement
of arms. The timing of the connection is emphasized.

Execution Deductions
The direction provided by the FIG is that EVERY element in the exercise must be
perfectly executed otherwise there will be an execution deduction.
VAULT

First Flight Phase (all 5 groups)
flat and small first flight to produce high and long second flight
open angle between body and arms (shoulder angle) according to appropriate
technique for the vault; arms stretched [a slight bend in first arm allowed without
deduction in Luconi and Tsukahara vaults]

Repulsion Phase (contact)
repulsion occurs slightly before or at vertical
a large leg separation is a technical error that will facilitate gaining speed for the
twist in the second flight
-
Tsukahara vaults:
 slightly arched body is acceptable
 handspring with ¼ - ½ turn (90 -180 °) in first flight phase
 turn is completed with open angle at shoulder
 rhythm of hand placement – variation from slightly alternate to simultaneous is
permitted without penalty
 arms at contact – a moderate bend (for absorption) of the first arm is permitted
without penalty
 slight arched body is acceptable
-
Yurchenko vaults:
 open shoulder angle
 an arched body is acceptable but the body must be tight
 the desired body position (no deduction) is curvilinear open position or straight
body.

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
 Vertical
If the body is ± 10° from the vertical, the element is considered in handstand.
The angle of the body is measured by drawing a straight line between the hands and the
feet.
The angle between the vertical and the body is measured when the body has completed
the turn or the hop with grip change.
 Turn in handstand
There is no deduction if there is a slight arch during the turn in handstand.
SPECIFIC ELEMENTS

Cast to handstand with legs together and hips extended
2.201
If a gymnast casts near handstand but does not reach the vertical, returns to front
support on same bar, casts again to handstand, the deduction is:
-appropriate deductions for insufficient amplitude of casts as per the Code
-0.50 for an intermediate swing;

Clear hip to circle handstand
2.305
It must be executed with stretched arms (all the time) and with straight body in the
upward phase. The handstand must be reached dynamically.
A very slight pike at the hips is acceptable to facilitate transition to the next element.

0.10 rhythm deduction will be applied;
Handstand Pirouettes with ½ + 1/1 turns (180° + 360°) in handstand in different
directions (back/forth) have the same value as a 1½ turn (540°) in handstand in the
same direction.
The element will be deducted if:
the full turn is completed after handstand (as per FIG Code)

This deduction is used if, in the last 120, the technique performed is neither a clear
“stretched” or clear “stretched-piked” technique.
The deductions for body posture faults (poor head position, bent arms, bent legs, leg
separation), or rhythm fault apply to all phases of the circle.
Option B: press technique - for all categories
The element must be performed as follows:
First 120° - stretched body or curvilinear extension;
Second 120° - curvilinear flexion;
Last 120° - press technique (bent hips) with legs together or straddled to handstand
In handstand, straight body or curvilinear extension with shoulders opened, hips
extended and legs together.

The Code deduction for “insufficient exactness of pike or stretch position” applies to all
phases of the circle. The deductions for body posture faults (poor head position, bent
arms, bent legs, leg separation) and rhythm fault apply to all phases as well.
3.310

Giant circle forward in L grip with ½ turn in handstand phase
The C value will be credited if the ½ turn is performed with a hop and change of grip.
However, the hop must be initiated from the L grip.
If a gymnast does a giant circle swing forward with legs together and body stretched in L
grip, hops to reverse or regular grip more than 10° before the vertical and then does a ½
turn in handstand to regular grip, the element will receive a B.
6.302

Dismount: Underswing with salto forward
At the end of the swing forward, the body should be arched with the shoulder angle open;
then the salto forward is initiated.

BEAM (BB) AND FLOOR (FX)
GENERAL CRITERIA FOR GOOD TECHNICAL EXECUTION



All jumps, leaps and hop must have appropriate technique before they are
credited a value
Turns on one leg, leaps, jumps, hops, with turns – the E Panel does not take a
deduction for incomplete turns. The D Panel credits the turn completed, the E
Panel may deduct for precision, body posture faults, leg position, amplitude,
etc.
Leaps, Jumps and Hops
i)
General guidelines:
- body should be straight, close to vertical; slight inclination (10°) is
acceptable
- chest should not drop down
- square hips and square shoulders
- no sliding of the foot/feet to initiate or complete the rotation
- feet position: from points straight ahead to a 90° turn out
- Tuck Jump 1/1: the ideal body position is less than 90°. This position
does not need to be maintained during the entire element but must be
shown at one point in the element.
BB: 2.201
2.103
FX: 1.101
1.107
a)
Straddle Pike Leap or Jump:
Hips should be piked and legs at horizontal. If the legs are below horizontal
deductions are taken for insufficient amplitude (0.10/0.30). Deductions are also
taken for incorrect legs position if the legs are not parallel to the floor and for body
posture faults.
BB 2.306
b)
Split leap with leg change and ¼ turn to side split position (Johnson)
The appropriate technique is:
- the forward leg must reach at least 45º before the switch: a switch action
must be visible with the shoulders facing forward until the switch leg has
passed the vertical
the switch action is continued with the body turning sideways and is
completed with the legs reaching the side split (180º) position
FX 1.205
There is a deduction if the legs are not parallel to the floor in the side split position
or if the chest is significantly leaning forward upon landing.
BB 2.306
FX 1.205
c)
Johnson leap with ¼ turn - is not a Split leap with 180° turn. It will be recognized
as a Johnson leap. The additional ¼ turn does not change the DV of the element.
BB 2.401
FX 1.301
d)
Split leap 1/1 turn - slightly incomplete becomes a Tour jeté leap with landing on
two feet. It does not become a split leap ½ turn because the technique for the ½
turn is different.
e)
Split leap 1/1 turn - when more than 45° of split are missing becomes a straight
jump with 1/1 turn.
f)
A Split leap 1/1 turn - when it is slightly incomplete and more than 45° of split are
missing becomes a straight jump with ½ turn (not an element in the Code)
therefore no DV.
g)
The wolf jump/hop and wolf jump with leg change are different elements.

Turns
A hop during a turn interrupts the turn.
e.g. a triple turn performed with a noticeable hop after two turns is
credited as a double turn.

Course 2013
Deductions may be taken for insufficient split position.
If the free leg drops too early in the turns 2.403 (FX) and 3.304 (BB), award
element #3.101 on BB AND #2.201 on FX.
Condition: the held leg must be in correct position by the time 1/8 of turn is
completed, otherwise it will be recognized as element # 3.101 on BB and 2.201
on FX.

Landing from saltos with twists:
The principle of devaluation should not be applied for double saltos with turns.
SPECIFIC ELEMENTS – BEAM

Round-off flic-flac or round-off salto mounts; all elements on the beam
The value is given for the element if at least one foot touches the top of the beam.
For details regarding falls see Section 8.3 – FIG Code of Points.

Jump to handstand mount
There will be no value credited if the body did not reach the handstand (hips
above the hands) position.

Walkover and handspring
A fast walkover (hands and foot on beam at the same time) has an A value; the
element must be performed with flight phase before or after hand support to
receive a B value.
5.202

Round-off
The round-off must have flight phase after hand support and show a quick rise of
the upper body to receive B value.
5.208

Flic-flac to cross straddle sit
The athlete may go down to cross straddle sit by either:
a)
bringing the shoulders forward
b)
bending the arms immediately upon contact (beginning of support).
5.304

-
Flic-flac with 1/4 turn to side handstand
This is a flic-flac entry to a hold. Consequently the flight phase must be obvious
otherwise the deduction is 0.10/0.30 for insufficient height of elements.
Control must be shown in handstand and it must be held for 2 seconds.
5.305

Flic-flac with ½ turn
The half turn (landing foot and body) must be completed before the landing foot
touches the beam.

UPD-AGATED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SUMMARY - March 2013
Page 33
GENERAL
QUESTION
1. Can gymnast use chalk on their hands and feet
on Floor and on the Vault runway?
2. How many stud earrings can a gymnast wear?
3. What is the definition of ‘padding’? [e.g. are
Chinese ankle guards considered padding?
4. What if bandages are not available in skin
colour?
5. Bandage colour: is a knee brace that is only
available in black okay or does it need to be
wrapped in beige tape?
6. Is there a deduction for body tattoos?
7. If the SJ makes a score adjustment, must they
formally inform the concerned Federation? [coach
of athlete whosE Score is modified?]
8. Warm-up on vault is 30 sec. per gymnast X
number of gymnasts in the group. Who times this?
[Article 5.3 does not list a timer for vault]
9. Deduction for too close to the apparatus – before
moving out of landing deductions section – said “all
elements including dismounts” – doesn’t apply to
flight element on bars caught very close to bar?
10. Turns: Support leg bent or straight doesn’t
change the value; is there a deduction .1/.3 for bent
leg?
11. In leaps, if legs are not parallel to floor, there
are deductions for the E panel .1/.3 [e.g straddle
jump, Johnson] When does the D panel credit or
not credit the element?
12. For turns, when it indicates free leg optional, but
there is a deduction for body alignment [for leg/foot
position] what are the requirements for leg position?
E.g what is proper passé etc. position?
13. Absent from the Competition Hall without
permission – as long as there is no delay of the
competition due to their absence – there is no
penalty? [e.g leave for washroom]
14. For pike jump, is the only criteria for technical
requirement the hip angle; or should the legs also
be at minimum horizontal?
15. Section 2, page 3 Behaviour related violations;
in Section 8 indicates deductions taken by Chair of
SJ. Clarification: Once SJ is notified, the D-Panel
takes the deduction; from the Final Score?
16. Not competing in correct order – can this apply
to mixed groups?
17. Timing of application of neutral deductions:
Line, time, apparatus, behaviour – always deducted
from Final Score
ANSWER
YES
There is no regulation for that
Padding can be considered as a protector such as
sponge on hips and ankles. Chinese ankle guards
are OK if it’s not too big or too evident
Beige is acceptable
If only available in black it’s OK
No.
Yes
Line judge will count number of attempts of warm
up. ADD: FIG Newsletter 34
No, does not apply. For flight elements deduct for
height or bent arms, etc.
Yes, unless part of the choreography.
Position of legs: Parallel to the floor is -0.1 only
Legs at horizontal -0.1, below -0.3
D-Panel consider stretch jump if hip > is more than
135˚ or split less than 135˚
Proper position is point of feet touching knee or
close to knee.
Position must be aesthetic.
If low leg is in passé position, deduct if leg is too
low.
Yes, no penalty. Is recommended to notify SJ.
Hip angle is enough.
No, SJ takes the deduction.
No, only applies to teams. Secretary controls the
order.
Yes. Final = D + E Score
For short exercise: there will never be a minus
score; only “0” score.

Vault : 0.5,1.0, 2.0
Short Routine:
18. Sissone – if front leg is horizontal
Does E panel deduct?
19.Clarify hip angle vs knee angle:
20. Incorrect Leg position .10 when is it applied?
21. Change leg ring leap – when back leg is not
bent – should it be called switch leap?
22. Can a ring jump be credited with a straight back
leg?
23. What is definition of Ring position
24. When is a stretched salto with LA turn not
recognized as stretched?
25. Does E panel deduct for leg below horizontal in
Ring Leap?
Johnson leap with front leg bent or leg below 45˚
VAULT
MOD
1. In Qualification, gymnast exceeds the 25 m run
distance on their first Vault. As this is a neutral
deduction it is taken off the Vault performed, but off
V1 for purposes of Team and AA scores?
Page 33
D recognizes split jump.
No, Split jump with leg at horizontal is good.
Sissone must land on 1 foot, with leg angle or
recognize as split jump.
Knee angle of 135˚ refers to tuck position. If knee
angle almost straight – credit pike. Hip angle more
than 90˚ .3 deduction until it becomes stretched.
Pike jump angle refers to hip angle.
Split leap ½ turn when body is not in precise
position [e.g. cross vs side position-poor body
alignment] plus leg position in specific elements:
side leaps, straddle jumps and sissone.
No – devalue and keep the family if recognize head
release and upper body arch. If back leg is straight
– devalue.
Yes - 90˚ bend of back leg is a requirement only for
ring leap and switch ring leap.
Upper body arched, head release, closed ring
position [feet to head height, almost touching head]
Important to have hip extension and bent legs. If
feet not almost touching head – devalue to C on
BB. Can use developé technique in Ring Leap
Most of the time will be credited as gymnast must
open hips to turn. [except Full in double pike on FX
and BB and UB dismounts.] (180 min. +).
Application same - mostly for vault - salto stretched
credited. Front salto pike full turn. not possible on
floor - not enough time to pike and open - usually
not extended stretch. Early pike most often
happens on Vault for vaults with ½ and 1 ½ LA turn
that land facing the table.
No.
Credit another element. Also if shoulders not turned
90˚
Taken from the Final Score of the vault performed.
2. Rules for CIII: Would a Yurchenko stretch with
1/1 twist [#4.32] be considered a different vault than
a Front Handspring to Front Salto stretched with 1/1
turn [2.32]?
Yes, they are from different groups and different
second flight phase (bwd salto vs fwd salto)
3. Tsuk layout 1/1 and then nominates Yurchenko 1
½ but performs 1/1; will this be the same flight
phase deduction?
4. When has the run started and considered an
additional run?
Yes – consider the vault you see.
When there is more than one step forward; any run
towards the apparatus.
Same interpretation for UB and BB mounts.

5. Is this correct:
“Deduction for staggered/alternate hand placement
for forward entry vaults Group 1,2,5 (not applicable
for Salto fwd stretched with LA turn Group 5 vaults
– e.g 5.31,5.32, 5.33)”
6. Second Flight Phase – Exactness of LA turn –
applies to Cuervo and what other vaults?
Yes
7. Safety collar for Yurchenko vaults:
May it be used for vaults other than Yurchenkos?
If used, must it be placed ‘properly’? (i.e. no gap
between collar and board) or will there be a
deduction – “0” vault?
Yes, Criteria for not using safety collar mat is not
applied to groups 1, 2, 3. [except 1.40, 1.50, 1.51,
1.52, 1.53]
Code says: Includes Cuervo.
UNEVEN BARS
1. Execution Principles: If the gymnast hits the bar
and has an intermediate swing, do you deduct for
both .5 + .5?
2. Is 1.408 a flight element?
3. If Coach brushes the gymnast but does not
assist [e.g. gymnast swings into coach] what is the
deduction?
4. What is the deduction for 2 unpermitted
spotters?
5. If a gymnast performs a clear hip circle, splits
legs early [before handstand/vertical] puts feet on
the Bar, executes a sole circle, stands on bar to
grasp the High bar  what are the deductions?
Only for intermediate swing
No – flight requires a grip change of bars LB and
HB – e.g. jump to HB immediate underswing ½
turn to handstand on LB as mount
No deduction
Deduct one time – 0.50
Consider the lower leg to apply angle of completion
of element [.1/.3/.5] After sole circle apply 0.5 for
jump from LB to HB.
Same principle applies for cast to handstand.
ADD: Empty Swing deduction 0.5 after Mar. 11 in CAN. – FIG Newsletter 34
6. When a gymnast has an empty swing, hits the
One is a compositional deduction – Empty swing;
bar and then falls – what are the deductions?
and one an execution. Take both empty swing and
1.0 Fall. Do not deduct for the hit.
7. Empty swing in front support. Intermediate swing
in front support – what is the difference?
ADD:
Note: Shaposhnikova with no or 1/1 twist exempted
from this rule.
8. Glide kip to back hip circle: what are the
deductions applied?
9. If a gymnast performs a clear hip circle with ½
turn, does not reach the vertical line [handstand]
and swings back, are the .1/.3/.5 angle deductions
in Article 9.4.2 the only deductions applied?
10. Flight element regrasp bar please review with
examples when there is a grasp/ no grasp and
DV/no DV.
An empty swing is a compositional correction –
required to perform the next element [swing in one
direction, no element, swing in opposite direction].
Intermediate swing [0.5] is an error in performance
of the exercise, an additional swing or action to
perform the element [legs go up, down and up]
After back hip circle, there is an empty swing
deduction or intermediate swing is there is a pump
action before the cast. The deduction for the angle
of the cast before the back hip circle must also be
applied.
Yes, maybe body alignment too.
Brushing or hitting is not enough. She must
“deform” the bar. Both hands.

11. How is height of flight elements and dismounts
determined for purposes of E deductions?
12. Clarification on crediting Endos
13. What is the evaluation of a Weiler kip
connected to Weiler kip with ½ turn – the first
element does not reach within 10˚ of handstand?
14. What is the definition of ‘clear support’ for 4.101
and 4.104 [straddle circles forward and backward]
15. If a gymnast performs a pike sole circle with
feet outside hands, what is the value? Is this the
same element as 5.308? Is there a deduction for
leg separation?
16. Clarification: a) Clear hip circle, does not reach
within 10˚ of vertical, then falls:
b) Clear hip circle with ½ turn, does not reach within
10˚ of vertical, then falls:
c) Pak salto grasp LB go immediately into back hip
circle:

- apply empty swing deduction?
Page 35
For flight elements within the exercise, the height is
determined by the position of the shoulders as
compared to the bar. For dismounts, the height is
determined by the position of the hips as compared
to the bar.
When Endo or Endo in L grip do not pass through
handstand [extend the hips past the vertical] –
devalue one level. When Endo or L Grip Endo are
performed with a turn, credit the value and deduct
for the angle of turn completed even if the hip
extension is past the vertical [doesn’t pass through
handstand], could also deduct for body alignment
L grip Endo 1/1 and L grip Endo 1/1 turn initiated on
one arm = same element. However, if an Endo
does not extend hips within 10˚ of handstand but
continues into a second Endo, then the value is
given [see Weiler kip example below]
First Weiler kip is given credit as long as the body is
in stretched position.
Weiler kip straddle up to handstand: devalue DC
To receive credit, the gymnast must be able to
show a position that enables them to execute the
next element.
Same element - no deduction for legs outside
hands.
a) No DV
b) 1 DV lower + angle of completion of element
and fall
c) DV + height + DV for back hip circle (followed by
empty swing)
d) DV C + angle of completion of element and fall.
Deductions:
Only the two first elements receive bonus
D + X = 0.10
Yes E + D = 0.10
Yes. If stop after circle, apply 0.5 for intermediate
pump/swing or empty swing
20. Under table 8.3 landing deductions “brushing
apparatus is 0.3; but on bars is listed as 0.5 – this is
a specific apparatus deduction – apply only during
routine; but for dismount landing apply 0.3?
Is specific for UB. If gymnast on UB dismount
steps toward the apparatus and brush, apply 0.3

are supposed to use the 10 cm. Landing mat but
are not allowed to move the mat; is there an extra
mat that they are allowed to move to the side?
5. If a gymnast is attempting a back salto stretched,
but has very poor amplitude that it resembles a

and what deductions would apply?
6. CV for roundoff to Onodi?
7. Mount: a) Gymnast on her first attempt touches
the springboard, (or apparatus or runs under the
beam): Deduct 1.0, no value for Mount, E deduction
0.1 for mount not from table of elements.
b) If she mounts again, will she be awarded the
value of the mount? Will she be deducted 0.1 for
mount not from the table of elements?
8. Press to handstand – if not held 2 seconds, what
is the evaluation?
9. Split leap to sissone. Sissone is performed with
front leg at horizontal. Would this be a series for CR
or considered a reptition and therefore no series
awarded?
10. Split leap mount directly connected to split leap.
Cannot fulfill the CR for dance series, but mount
can be used as one of the 3 counting dance
elements for DV?
11. If the gymnast performs 6 acro elements
consecutively that are directly connected, can they

repeated in one connection.
After the previous gymnast the mat must be moved
from the end to the side.
ADD: FIG Newsletter 34: Must show clear elevation
of the center of gravity [height] as well as stretch, to
receive E value. If no clear elevation, then devalue
to D.
TBD
a) Yes
b) No DV for mount. If she can perform “inside” the
routine, you can give DV for that element. e.g 1.210
Not allowed a second attempt if on first attempt she
touched the springboard.
If remount after fall and falls again – deduct 2.0.
Will be devalued to A; may not be repeated and
receive credit. It the Handstand Mount is held 2
seconds, then the gymnast falls – no value as she
must return to the beam for value. If the gymnast
does not reach handstand and falls – can repeat.
Repetition, no series if split jump to sissone.
Split leap to sissone okay, since they are different
