This new code, which incorporates open difficulty, has gone through various development phases. It has been circulated to all member federations of UEG so that comments can be submitted. It has been trialled in several major competitions in Denmark. All feedback has been considered. The committee wish to express their sincere thanks to everyone who put their time into submitting their comments.

This version includes Revision A August 2010. It incorporates several minor corrections and many clarifications that were discussed at the Judging course in Frankfurt in December 2009. The pages and the structure have been kept the same except for 16.3.2.9 and 17.3.2.9 - Team Round Error - which has been transferred to 16.4.2 and 17.4.2 under composition. It also includes Revision B October 2011 which has many minor changes plus a revision of the floor difficulties to bring it in line with Tumbling and Trampet.

15.2.1 General Bullet 4 15.2.3 Pirouettes (P) Last sentence about groups changes
.....perform the pirouettes simultaneously or close in time. All gymnasts in the same sub group (more than 2 gymnasts) must perform the turn facing in the same direction. (A sub group is distanced from other sub groups by at least twice the distance between gymnasts. If there is different number of male and female gymnasts, the difficulty for movements in pairs, may still be counted if one gymnast is not paired. A Combination of Elements can only be awarded for direct connections between two different elements with different code numbers, which are performed to the norms. A combination of a succession of 2 different pirouettes (with different code numbers) A combination of a succession of 2 different jumps or leaps or hops (with different code numbers) with a maximum of one intermediate step. A combination of a succession of 2 different shapes of balances elements (with different code numbers). There will be a deduction for example, for extra steps, jumps, arm and leg movements, hand support or a fall. HJ deduction for coach giving instructions is 0.3 once, from the final score
15.2.8.1 General First sentence changed. 15.2.8.2 Combination of Pirouettes First sentence changed 15.2.8.3Combination of Jumps First sentence changed 15.2.8.4 Combination of Balance Elements First sentence changed 15.3.2.8 Balance and Controlled Execution Added fall to list 15.3.4.1 Coach giving Verbal or Visible Instructions Change last line 15.3.4.3 Wearing Jewellery
HJ deduction for wearing jewellery 0.3 once, from the final score

HJ deduction for wearing intrusive bandages 0.3 once, from final score
This deduction is used if the team is not following the discipline or other competition requirements, For example:
15.4.2.5
The whole floor area must be used during the program. If less than 90% is used, the deduction is 0.2 and a further 0.2 for each additional 10% (Gymnasts paint the floor with a 2 m brush as they move around the area). .......the deduction will be 0.2 per level. .......sideways (left or right). .......deduction will be 0.2 per direction Elements/moves must be performed facing all 4 sides (fronts). Diagonal fronts are not demanded. Not all gymnasts need to be at the same time, but all gymnasts need to do all fronts. If some direction is missing, the deduction will be 0.2 per front. Corrections to table in line with above. The shape or the size of the formations not varying Removed 0,3 from Choice of elements and movements Corrected Use of floor area deductions. add exactly to the same series Second and Third Rounds - Different series can be performed, but the order is restricted by intensification requirements, Cartwheel 0.0 (but allowed)

The three scores are then averaged and rounded to nearest 0.1.
Elements must be performed at appropriate height and length. In particular the centre of gravity of the final salto should be lifted approximately 1 times the height of the gymnast The final salto should not be too long approximately the height of the element. Deduction: Height 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 each time/gymnast. Length 0.1 each time/gymnast
Page VIB of XVIII
In the first round every gymnast must perform the exact same series. Its called the Team round and there should be no difficulty intensification. Deduction 0.2 per gymnast Remove: of elements with body positions (shape), turns and/or double saltos. Missing Team Round 0.2 per gymnast add exactly to the same element Second and Third Rounds - Different elements can be performed, but the order is restricted by intensification requirements,

Handspring 180 on 0.45 While calculating the judges score, deductions are taken from 10 points for each of the three rounds. The three scores are then averaged and rounded to nearest 0.1. Elements must be performed at appropriate height and length. The centre of gravity should be lifted approximately 1 times the height of the gymnast and the length should not be greater than the height of the element. Deduction: Height 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 each time/gymnast. Length 0.1 each time/gymnast In straight salto the twist must be initiated in the air. This has moved to 17.4.2 Twisting doubles with less than 3 twists must clearly show the number of twists in each salto. Line about team round error removed

In the first round every gymnast must perform the exact same element. Its called the Team round and there should be no difficulty intensification. Deduction 0.2 per gymnast Remove: of elements with body positions (shape), turns and/or double saltos. Missing Team Round 0.2 each time If, for example, the leg separation requirement is not fulfilled the value will be lowered if possible. If there is no lower value for the element, it has no value. Pirouettes The following abbreviations are used in Floor Difficulty Tables: Fwd = forward (Turning at the same direction as the supporting leg) Bwd = backward (Turning in the opposite direction as the supporting leg) Corrections shown clouded in tables If the free leg is bent (fw/side) the heel is used to define the angle with the hip. If the turn is not completed e.g. P301 (but 360 is fulfilled) -> P201, if the leg separation requirement is not fulfilled (the leg is too low; P507-> P303) If the pike or legs straight requirement is not fulfilled, the jump can be valued e.g. as J410. If the free leg is lower than 45, the value is counted to be B314.

8.2.1 Generally
15.2.5 Balance/Power Elements Requirement clarified (B/Po) - Two different Balance/Power Elements may be counted towards the difficulty value 15.2.5 Definitions of Balance elements (B): Definition revised - To get the difficulty value: There must be a recognised shape where the whole body is held in a static position for at least two seconds without any additional movements. Bending the supporting knee will cause lowering in the difficulty value -0.2 (except for B203, B403, B603, B414, B614 and B814) Incorrect body shape may reduce the DV. Definition revised - To get the difficulty value: There must be a controlled movement with dynamic strength. Requirement clarified - Two different Section Elements may be counted towards the difficulty value. The value of the first Section Element is 0.4 and the value of the second Section Element is 0.6. Definition revised From a bent position an extension occurs through each joint as a wave through the body. It may also be performed from a straight position with a contraction. The body waves must include both the hips and the head. ..the difficulty value for movements in pairs.. Definition revised Two different acrobatic elements may be counted towards the difficulty value. Acrobatic elements must comply with recognised norms in gymnastics.
15.2 8 Combination of Elements To get the difficulty value: A Combination of Elements can only be awarded 15.2.8.1 General for direct connections between two different elements with different code numbers, The values of two movements in combination will be summed (e.g. 0.4 + 0.2 = 0.6 15.2.8.2 Combination of The connection between pirouettes of the combination may be performed Pirouettes without intermediate steps (but with heel touch of the support foot, in between) or with one intermediate step. 15.3.4.1 Coach giving verbal or visual instructions Coaches are not allowed to give any visual or verbal instructions to the gymnasts during the floor program.

15.4.1 General
15.4.2.3 The choice of elements Replace with : and movements The routine should present a variety of different gymnastic elements and movements using the entire body. All movements and elements shall favour dynamic execution, where the whole body is engaged. For example simple isolated arm and leg movements will be deducted 0.1 every time. Remove maximum deduction 15.4.2.4 Limitation of acrobatic elements 15.4.2.5 Formations Remove maximum deduction on
There must be at least one large size formation where gymnasts are placed in one shape, not several small groups. The size of the formation must be at least from side to side and from back to front (no further than 1.5 m from the edge). There must also be one small size formation (compact). Remove maximum deduction Remove maximum deduction Remove maximum deduction
15.4.2.8 Use of floor area, levels If less than 90% is used, the deduction is 0.2 for each additional missing 10% and directions (one floor mat). Assume gymnasts paint the floor with a 2.0 m brush as they move around the area. The program must include the gymnasts moving in different directions. E.g. forwards, backwards, sideways (left or right). There must be at least one sequence of combination of two different movements/elements in each direction. Intermediate steps are allowed. Acrobatic elements cannot be used for moving forwards, backwards or sideways. Elements/moves must be performed facing to 3 fronts (forward, backward and right OR left). Diagonal fronts are not counted. All gymnasts need to do all fronts at the same time. Remove the maximum deduction and change to three fronts in the table. 15.4.2.9 Unnecessary repetition of elements/movements 15.4.3 Composition Deductions (C-panel) Table 15.4.4.1 Movements corresponding to the music Remove maximum deduction
Deduction 0.1, 0.2 or 0.3 for Movements not corresponding to the music each time.

Amend last bullet point: One coach (and only one) can be present on or near the landing area for security Delete on the far side from the judges Add new 5 bullet point: - Triples saltos (backwards) are allowed in one round Amend bullet points 4, 6 and 8: - The value of shape in doubles and triples can be calculated from the sum of the shape value of each somersault (example Straight in first salto and pike in second salto will receive 0.15 plus 0.10 additional value for shape which when added to the value for double back of 0.65 gives an element value of 0.90) All elements are re-evaluated on what is actually performed - except in the first round. If a gymnast does not perform the same series as the majority in the first round the gymnast will be given zero for difficulty. When twisting doubles or triples with less than 3 twists in the first round the gymnasts must perform the same number of twists in each salto. Not landing feet first, the element will be valued at zero for difficulty. The actual performed number of complete somersaults and half twists are counted towards the composition value.

Deduction is based on the round where the twist is performed by the most gymnasts. (The half turn onto the vault does not count as twist) Add Saltos to the Title and amend paragraph as shown: The team must perform at least one round that contains a double salto. Double saltos count from trampet to landing (e.g. Tsukahara and handspring salto are included). One round that contains a triple salto (see 17.4.3.5) will also fulfil the requirement. Add new numbered item: 16.4.3.5 Triple Saltos The team are allowed (not need to) to perform triple saltos in one round. Triple saltos count from trampet to landing (e.g. Double tsukahara and handspring double salto are included).

Appendix A1 Table of Difficulty The difficulty value and thus the element reference numbers of many of the for Floor elements have all been amended. Only text changes are identified here. 3 Balance and Power Elements Insert the clarification from Appendix A4 before the table, with the following amendments : Balance elements The balance must stay 2 sec. without any additional movements. If there is only a slight movement but the balance is held for 2 seconds there is an execution deduction, but team will get the difficulty value of the balance. If the free leg is bent and forwards or side, the heel is used to define the angle with the hip. When the free leg is bent and backwards, the knee is used to define the angle with the hip. Bending the supporting knee will cause lowering in the difficulty value 0.2 (except for B203, B403, B603, B414, B614 and B814) Power elements There must be a controlled movement with dynamic strength. If not- there is no value for the element. If the positions before and after the power element are not clearly visible and identical (for all gymnasts), there will be an execution deduction, It is not necessary to keep the starting and ending positions (handstand etc.) for 2 sec.

6.2.1
Tolerance between the A Panel Judges Scores: The difference between the lowest and the highest of the judges difficulty values may not be larger than 0.2 in any case. If there is difference among the judges they must discuss to agree the difficulty score if possible. If they cannot agree, but they are inside the 0.2 tolerance, the HJ can count the average of the difficulty values. In case of an unallowable tolerance, judges must discuss and adjust their difficulty scores until they either agree or are inside the tolerance. If they cannot agree within tolerance, the Execution Head judge will adjudicate. Tolerance between the B Panel Judges Scores: The difference between the lowest and the highest of all judges scores may not be larger than 0.6 when the final score is 8.0 or above and 1.0 for scores below 8.0.

Floor Program
Discipline Requirements
General This is a Floor Program without hand apparatus, to music The team must wait outside the competition area, ready to jog into the arena when competition organizers direct them They wait for the green flag at the edge of the floor area When the green flag is shown, they should jog to their starting position on the floor, with no additional movements Difficulty The values of difficulty elements can be found in Appendix A1 - Tables of Difficulty Execution The team may present from six to twelve gymnasts Mixed teams must have the same number of male and female gymnasts It is not allowed to change a gymnast during the Floor Program Composition The Floor Program consists of a choreographed routine that is based on gymnastic elements Music is not allowed for entering or leaving the floor area The time limit is between 2:30 and 3:00 minutes

Difficulty Elements In the Floor Program, the difficulty can only be counted from the maximum number of elements in the following six groups: Pirouettes 2 Jumps/ Leaps/ Hops 2 Balance/ Power Elements 2 Section Elements 2 Acrobatic elements 2 Combination of elements 1 Pirouettes (P) Two different Pirouettes may be counted towards the difficulty value. Definition of a Pirouette: To get the difficulty value: At least a 360o rotation on one foot. The rotation must be totally fulfilled, measured at the hips. All the gymnasts perform the pirouettes simultaneously or close in time. All gymnasts in the same sub group (three or more gymnasts) must perform the turn facing in the same direction. (Sub groups should be separated by at least twice the distance between gymnasts). Incorrect body shape may reduce the DV. Pirouettes should be performed clearly on toes and without jumping. If it is not on toes or there is jumping the value for the element will be awarded but there will be an execution deduction. Jumps/Leaps/Hops (J) Two different Jumps/Leaps/Hops may be counted towards the difficulty value. Definition of Jumps, Leaps and Hops: To get the difficulty value: A recognised shape (position) must be formed in the air during a jump, leap or hop. The shape during the flight defines the level of the difficulty. No more than three steps are allowed (walking/ running) before the jump, leap or hop. Execution will take account of body control, amplitude, height and elevation. Balance/Power Elements (B/Po) Two different Balance/Power Elements may be counted towards the difficulty value Definitions of Balance and Power Elements: Balance elements (B): To get the difficulty value: There must be a recognised shape where the whole body is held in a static position for at least two seconds without any additional movements. Bending the supporting knee will cause lowering in the difficulty value -0.2 (except for B203, B403, B603, B415, B615 and B815) Incorrect body shape may reduce the DV. Power elements (Po): To get the difficulty value: There must be a controlled movement with dynamic strength. Section Elements (S) Two different Section Elements may be counted towards the difficulty value. The value of the first Section Element is 0.4 and the value of the second Section Element is 0.6. The Section Elements are: Women 2 Body Waves One wave must be sideways and another forwards or backwards. Men 2 Swing Movements Mixed 2 Movements in Pairs If the team performs only one Section Element (or for example - two Body Waves forwards) the difficulty value for Section Elements is 0.4.

15.2.6.1 Body Waves From a bent position an extension occurs through each joint as a wave through the body. It may also be performed from a straight position with a contraction. The body waves must include both the hips and the head. 15.2.6.2 Swing movements In a swing element there is an impulse or a release that lets gravity take the body into a pendulum swing. The swing must include the trunk and the legs. 15.2.6.3 Movements in pairs: A lift, throw or support element between male and female gymnasts (where the partner is carrying some weight). If there is a different number of male and female gymnasts, the difficulty value for movements in pairs may still be counted if one gymnast is not paired. Acrobatic Elements (A) Two different acrobatic elements may be counted towards the difficulty value. Acrobatic elements must comply with recognised norms in gymnastics. Combination of Elements (C) 15.2.8.1 General To get the difficulty value: A Combination of Elements can only be awarded for direct connections between two different elements with different code numbers, The values of two movements in combination will be summed (e.g. 0.4 + 0.2 = 0.6). An element can be counted only once in the routine. For example, if a split leap is counted as part of a Combination, the same leap cannot be counted as a leap. Combinations of Elements can only be performed within the following groups of elements: Pirouettes, Jumps/Leaps/Hops, Balance Elements, Power Elements and Acrobatic elements, or a mixed combination of these element groups. Section element cannot be awarded in combinations. 15.2.8.2 Combination of Pirouettes A combination of a succession of 2 different pirouettes (with different code numbers). The connection between pirouettes of the combination may be performed without intermediate steps (but with heel touch of the support foot, in between) or with one intermediate step. E.g. in first pirouette left leg as support leg, the right leg is free, step to the right leg and the second pirouette is performed on the right leg as support leg with the left leg free. 15.2.8.3 Combination of Jumps or Leaps or Hops A combination of a succession of 2 different jumps or leaps or hops (with different code numbers) with a maximum of one intermediate step. E.g. Split Leap, landing on right foot, step forward and take off with left foot for Scissors Leap. 15.2.8.4 Combination of Balances Elements A combination of a succession of 2 different shapes of balances elements (with different code numbers). The connection is performed with the body weight on the same foot or hands. It is possible to change bodyweight: a) from hands to leg, b) from leg to hands or c) from leg or hands to hands and leg (or reverse, e.g. from handstand to bridge) during combination, without intermediate supporting foot or hand movements. 15.2.8.5 Combination of Power Elements A combination of a succession of 2 different power elements. The connection is performed with the body weight on the hands during both elements, without intermediate supporting hand movements. 15.2.8.6 Combination of Acrobatic Elements A combination of a succession of 2 different acrobatic elements. The connection is performed without any steps between landing and take-off; both legs touching once on the floor (E.g. round off - flick- flack).

15.2.8.7 Mixed Combinations A connection between the difficulties of a mixed combination of 2 elements is performed without intermediate steps if possible, but if necessary, a maximum of one intermediate step will be allowed. If a team performs more than one Combination of Elements, only the combination with the highest value will be counted towards the difficulty. The execution of each element inside the combination, must comply with recognized gymnastic technique and definitions; otherwise, either the value of the combination will be lowered or it will not be accepted.

Execution (10.0)
General While calculating the judges score, execution deductions are taken from 10 points. All execution judges use deductions from the following groups: Very small 0.05, Small 0.1, Medium 0.2 and Large 0.3/ 0.5/ 1.0. Each judge gives a score to an accuracy of 0.1 point. Definitions of Execution faults 15.3.2.1 Precision in formations All the formations must be exact (e.g. lines straight when that is intended). Deduction 0.1 each time/ gymnast out of formation 15.3.2.2 Synchronisation according to the composition The out of time gymnast will get deduction 0.1 or 0.2. The lost gymnast will get 0.3 deduction each time. Deductions 0.1, 0.2 or 0.3 each time/ gymnast 15.3.2.3 Line violations Exceeding the prescribed Floor area (14x20 m), that is touching the floor with any part of the body outside of the border marking, will result a deduction of 0.1 each time no matter how many gymnasts perform outside the area. Border markings (the white line) are included in the performing area. Deduction 0.1 each time/ team 15.3.2.4 Good technique in difficulty elements The elements must be done according to the defined requirements. Some of the technique demands are mentioned in Difficulty tables and in Appendix A4; Element recognition examples. Deduction 0.05, 0.1 or 0.2 each time/ gymnast 15.3.2.5 Uniformity in execution The team must perform the same movements and elements exactly the same way, unless the choreography clearly states something else. E.g. in P201 the free leg must be placed equally (all gymnasts in the team). Deduction 0.05, 0.1 or 0.2 each time/ gymnast 15.3.2.6 Dynamic execution The team should perform the program with the dynamic execution the choreographer requires. Dynamic execution includes e.g. good rhythm and sense of gravity with relaxation and extension. The movement phrases must show continuity with a logical and natural fluency. The momentum should be used from the past movement instead of creating new force. Deduction 0.05 each time/ gymnast
15.3.2
Page 12B of 30
15.3.2.7 Amplitude and extension Elements and movements must be performed with the optimal amplitude. Even the small elements must be performed as extended as possible. Extension must be visible in each element through the whole program. E.g. pointed ankles can show the finished extension in leg- work. Deduction 0.05 or 0.1 each time/ gymnast 15.3.2.8 Balance and controlled execution The floor program must be performed controlled with balance. There will be a deduction for example for extra steps, jumps, arm and leg movements, hand support or a fall. Deduction 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 or 0.3 each time/ gymnast 15.3.2.9 Artistry of presentation Presentation of the Floor Program must be expressive. The team should perform the movement sequences in a way that the whole choreography is presented as meaningful to the gymnasts. Deduction 0.2 once 15.3.2.10 Interrupting the floor program The team is not allowed to change a gymnast during the floor program. If a gymnast stops performing the program, there will be a deduction of 0.5/ gymnast. Deduction 0.5/ gymnast 15.3.2.11 Wrong number of gymnasts In a floor program there must be from 6 to 12 gymnasts. If there is more or less than that, there will be 1.0 deduction. If after interrupting the program there is less than 6 gymnasts on the floor, there will be 1.0 deduction of wrong total number of gymnasts Deduction 1.0 once/ team 15.3.3 Execution Deductions (B panel each occurrence)

15.4.2.3 The choice of elements and movements The routine should present a variety of different gymnastic elements and movements using the entire body. All movements and elements shall favour dynamic execution, where the whole body is engaged. For example simple isolated arm and leg movements will be deducted 0.1 every time. 15.4.2.4 Limitation of acrobatic elements Teams can perform a maximum of four acrobatic elements. All acrobatic elements will be counted by composition judges, even if the whole team doesnt perform element (E.g. half of the team does round off flick flack and half of the team makes round off salto, there are three acrobatic elements). If there are more than four acrobatic elements, the team will get a deduction of 0.2. Acrobatic Elements must be natural part of the Floor Program and be linked to it fluently. A deduction is made if the Acrobatic Elements do not melt rhythmically into the movement sequences. For example: a pause to prepare an acrobatic element or a long run-up (more than three steps) to an acrobatic element the deduction will be 0.2. 15.4.2.5 Formations There must be at least 6 different formations in Floor Program. A deduction 0.1 for each missing formation The shape and the size of the formations must vary. If the formations are all similar straight lines there will be a deduction. There must also be at least two different formations in curved shapes (E.g. two different size circles are not counted as two different curved line formations). A deduction of 0.1 for each missing curved line There must be at least one large size formation where gymnasts are placed in one shape, not several small groups. The size of the formation must be at least from side to side and from back to front (no further than 1.5 m from the edge). There must also be one small size formation (compact). A deduction 0.1 for missing variation in size of formations 15.4.2.6 Transitions Transitions mean those elements/movements included in changing one formation to another. Transitions must have gymnastic and rhythmic quality and form a natural part of the Floor Program. Changing the size and the shape of the formation by simply walking, marching or running without any gymnastic quality, will cause a 0.1 deduction each time. The transitions between formations must be planned so that the gymnasts can easily make it without extra/large steps. 15.4.2.7 Fluency in connections Connections mean how the single elements/movements are built together as one harmonious sequence. There must not be purposeless stops between movements or pauses to prepare for movements. Deduction for connections is 0.1 each time. 15.4.2.8 Use of floor area, levels and directions The whole floor area must be used during the program. (No deduction for 90 100%) If less than 90% is used, the deduction is 0.2 for each additional missing 10% (one floor mat). Assume gymnasts paint the floor with a 2.0 m brush as they move around the area). There is a requirement of using different levels: E.g. laying, sitting, standing and jumping during the Floor Program. If some level is totally missing, the deduction will be 0.2 per level. The program must include the gymnasts moving in different directions. E.g. forwards, backwards, sideways (left or right). There must be at least one sequence of combination of two different movements/elements in each direction. Intermediate steps are allowed. Acrobatic elements cannot be used for moving forwards, backwards or sideways. If some direction is missing, deduction will be 0.2 per direction.

Elements/moves must be performed facing to 3 fronts (forward, backward and right OR left). Diagonal fronts are not counted. All gymnasts need to do all fronts at the same time. If some direction is missing, the deduction will be 0.2 per front.
Using all floor area (less than 90%) Using different levels Laying, Sitting, Standing and Jumping Moving different directions Forwards, Backwards and Sideways Performing three fronts

15.4.2.9 Unnecessary repetition of elements/movements If exactly the same elements/movements (e.g. arm movements) are presented more than 3 times, there will be a 0.1 deduction per element. 15.4.2.10 Effective teamwork The program must give the impression of working together. Solos and canons can give nuance for the composition, but they must not predominate. At last 2/3 of the program must be performed in unison. If more than 1/3 is performed in canon or differing groups of choreography, the deduction is 0.3. If more than is not in unison, deduct 0.5. Deduction 0.3 or 0.5 for the absence of effective teamwork 15.4.3 Composition Deductions (C-panel)

General Each team performs three different rounds First Round - All gymnasts perform exactly the same series Second and Third Rounds - Different series can be performed, but the order is restricted by intensification requirements. All tumbling performers must participate in the floor program unless excused by competition doctor due to injury (Penalty is disqualification) The team must wait outside the competition area ready to jog into the arena, when the competition organisers direct them The performance will start from the starting position of the run-up when the team gets the green flag from the Head Judge (B1) of Tumbling Its not allowed to mark the run-up or the tumbling track with clothes or other things Difficulty The difficulty values of most elements are shown in the Table of Difficulty (Appendix A2) and additional element values can also be calculated Execution The team presents only six gymnasts for each round Different gymnasts from the team may perform in each round After each round the gymnasts return by jogging back to get into position for the next round and they must return together, at the same time Additional gymnastic/dance movements before/between rounds are not allowed One coach (and only one) can be present on or near the landing area for security Composition At least one round must be performed forwards and one round backwards One round may be forward, backward, combined or a mixture of different series Each series (individual routine) must consist of a combination of at least three different acrobatic elements, without intermediate steps or pauses All gymnasts must land their last element in the landing area Triples saltos (backwards) are allowed in one round The complete presentation is performed to music (optional choice) which must be instrumental with no lyrics The time limit is 2 minutes 45 seconds - the timekeeping starts with the music and ends when the last gymnast lands in the third round

All elements are re-evaluated on what is actually performed - except in the first round. If a gymnast does not perform the same series as the majority in the first round the gymnast will be given zero for difficulty. When twisting doubles or triples with less than 3 twists in the first round the gymnasts must perform the same number of twists in each salto. Elements after a pause, a fall or intermediate steps will not count towards the difficulty Not landing feet first, the element will be valued at zero for difficulty. The actual performed number of complete somersaults and half twists are counted towards the composition value. Run through will be re-valued at zero for the difficulty Performing only one or two different elements will be valued on what is performed The difficulty values for the 6 series in a round are summed to form a value for the round, then the 3 rounds are averaged and then rounded down to the nearest 0.1 point, for the team's final difficulty value

Discipline requirements
General Each team performs three different rounds First Round - All gymnasts perform the same element Second and Third Rounds - Different elements can be performed, but the order is restricted by intensification requirements All trampet performers must participate in the floor program unless excused by the competition doctor due to injury (Penalty is disqualification) The team must wait outside the competition area ready to jog into the arena when the competition organisers direct them The performance will start from the starting position of the run-up when the team gets the green flag from the Head Judge (B1) of Trampet. Its not allowed to mark the run-up with clothes or other things. Difficulty The difficulty values of most elements are shown in the Table of Difficulty (Appendix A3). Additional element values can also be calculated. Execution The team presents only six gymnasts for each round. Different gymnasts from the team may perform in each round. After each round the gymnasts return by jogging back to get into position for the next round. The gymnasts must return together, at the same time. Additional gymnastics/dance movements before/between rounds are not allowed Two coaches (and only two) must be present on the landing mat, for security spotting of the landings and in the event of a dangerous situation, they must take appropriate action Composition At least one round must be performed on apparatus and the apparatus must be touched with both hands It is not allowed to touch the apparatus with the feet At least one round must be performed without apparatus Triple saltos are allowed in one round The complete presentation is performed to music (optional choice) which must be instrumental with no lyrics The time limit is 2 minutes 45 seconds and the timekeeping starts with the music and ends when the last gymnast lands in the third round

All elements are re-evaluated on what is actually performed - except in the first round. If a gymnast does not perform the same series as the majority in the first round the gymnast will be given zero for difficulty. When twisting doubles or triples with less than 3 twists in the first round the gymnasts must perform the same number of twists in each salto.That means for example all have full twist in first salto and say 1 in the second. Not landing feet first, the element will be valued at zero for difficulty. The actual performed number of complete somersaults and half twists are counted towards the composition value. Not touching the vault with hands, the element will be valued at zero for difficulty. Run through will be re-valued at zero for the difficulty The 6 individual elements difficulty values in each round are summed, then the 3 rounds are averaged and rounded down to the nearest 0.1 point, for the team's final Difficulty Value

Different elements must have different code numbers. For those elements that have an A or B variation the whole team has to do the same variation. Note that the A/B variation still has the same code number. Some elements dont have their own symbols and in this case it is allowed to use the symbol of the same kind of element. However the correct code number must always be used in conjunction with the selected symbol. If for example the leg separation requirement is not fulfilled the value will be lowered (if possible). If there is no lower value for the element, it has no value.
1 Pirouettes
B
The number of turns and the height of the free leg in pirouettes affect the value of the element. The turn is fulfilled when the hip has turned the whole way. If the free leg is bent (fw/side) the heel is used to define the angle with the hip. When the free leg is bent and backwards, the knee is used to define the angle with the hip. The position of the supporting leg, bent/ straight, does not change the DV. The pirouette is finished when the rotation is over and/or the free leg is touching the floor. Pirouette 120 90
Considerations: No value for the pirouette: - If min. 360 requirement is not fulfilled Lowered value for the pirouette: In following cases (if the requirement above is fulfilled) the element will be re-evaluated according to the CoP. If there is no lower value for the element in the CoP, it has no value. - If the turn is not completed e.g. P401 (but 360 is fulfilled) -> P201, - if the leg separation requirement is not fulfilled (the leg is too low; P607-> P203) or - if the free leg is not held in the right position for at least of the time of the rotation (e.g. P607-> P203) The following abbreviations are used in Floor Difficulty Tables: Fwd = forward (Turning in the same direction as the supporting leg) Bwd = backward (Turning in the opposite direction as the supporting leg)

Balance elements
The balance must stay 2 sec. without any additional movements. If there is only a slight movement but the balance is held for 2 seconds there is an execution deduction, but team will get the difficulty value of the balance. If the leg separation requirement in balance element is not fulfilled, the value of the element will be lowered. If there is no lower value for the element in the difficulty table, it has no value. Balances on tiptoes: If even one of the gymnasts fails to stay on tiptoes, the value of the element will be lowered If the free leg is bent and forwards or side, the heel is used to define the angle with the hip. When the free leg is bent and backwards, the knee is used to define the angle with the hip. Bending the supporting knee will cause lowering in the difficulty value -0.2 (except for B203, B403, B603, B414, B614 and B814)

Power elements
B
There must be a controlled movement with dynamic strength. If not- there is no value for the element. If the positions before and after the power element are not clearly visible and identical (for all gymnasts), there will be an execution deduction, It is not necessary to keep the starting and ending positions (handstand etc.) for 2 sec.

4. Section Elements
B
Body waves (S401, S601, S402, S602): The hips and the whole body (and head) must be included, and on body wave sideways hips should move only sideways, not fwd or bwd, if these requirements are not fulfilled, there is no value for the body wave. Swing movements (S403, S603): If the element is performed by muscle power instead of using the gravity, there will be no value for the element. Movement in pairs (S404, S604): Only ELEMENTS are counted, touching is not enough. Same symbol for all section elements: sec

Floor Programme
In order to achieve difficulty value, specific technical expectations are required. If these difficulty requirements are not fulfilled, there is no value for that specific element but the element can be re-evaluated according to what was actually performed. Also included are some execution requirements for some elements.
Straddle Pike
Difficulty requirements: Clear pike <90 , legs straight without a kick Execution requirements: Legs should be horizontal Difficulty requirements: Clear pike <90 Execution requirements: Legs horizontal before landing in front laying support. Execution requirements: Knees at horizontal 90 or less angle at knees Knees together. When twisting, the knees must reach the horizontal somewhere during the jump. Execution requirements: Knees lift alternatively to horizontal or higher. When twisting, the knees must reach the horizontal somewhere during the jump. Difficulty requirements: Clear pike <90 , legs straight before lying position. Execution requirements: Legs horizontal before landing in front laying support.
Shushunova
Tuck Jump/hop
Cat Leap
Wolf Jump
Sheep Jump
Execution requirements: Extended leg at horizontal 90 or less angle at knees Knees together. When twisting, straight leg must reach horizontal somewhere during the jump. Execution requirements: When twisting the right body position must be visible somewhere during the jump. Difficulty requirements: No kick Leg separation > 180 Rear leg at shoulder level Execution requirements : Legs parallel to the Floor Difficulty requirements: First leg must be straight, no kick, and swing fwd at least 45 before the leg change.
Scale sideways
Difficulty requirements: Shoulders and the hip both must be sideways, in the same direction. Upper body must be > 90 .
Bridge
Difficulty requirements: The bridge must be performed sideways or diagonal towards the judges Execution requirements: Arms and support knee must be straight. Shoulders must be above (or over) the hands
Combinations
