XII.  Warm-ups on Floor Exercise

 

Depending upon the specific format used for the competition, there are a variety of ways to conduct the floor exercise warm-ups (either timed or touch warm-ups). In situations in which the athletes warm-up between routines, there may be times, especially with compulsory competition, that there is not adequate time “between” routines to allow for adequate warm-up. The committee requested that a statement be added to the Rules and Policies which recommends that if the coach feels that the athletes have not had adequate warm-up time between routines, he/she can request of the Chief Judge to either have a short block of time for a squad or partial squad of gymnasts to warm-up, or for the judges to slow down to allow for up to 30 second between exercises, especially for Levels 4 and below.

XIII. JUDGES FEE SCALE FOR LEVELS 1-3 COMPETITIONS

 

Recommendation that the hourly judging fee for a professional member who is not a rated official and is assigned to judge a sanctioned Level 1-3 competition may be negotiated by the meet director. The negotiated fee may not exceed the hourly rate for a Level 5/6 judge. If the State Administrative Committee organizes a statewide Level 1-3 competitive program, the State Administrative committee may designate an hourly rate for a non-rated professional member to maintain consistency. Effective August 1, 2006

XIV. Level 4 Vault

XV. COMPULSORY BARS

 

Level 4 Bars - Front hip circle to immediate small cast

Clarification: If the gymnast finishes in a position that will not allow her to cast immediately, the 0.30 deduction for failure to execute a small cast immediately after front hips circle is applied. The gymnast is not required to perform the small cast at this point since she has already lost the opportunity to perform the cast immediately. If the gymnast does perform the cast, there is no deduction for extra swing.
