1 Article 10 BALANCE BEAM
2
2 10.1 General u The evaluation of the exercise begins with the take-off from the board or the mat. Additional supports under the board (e.g. an extra board) are not permitted. u A second run approach for the mount is permitted, if the gymnast on her first attempt (balk) has not touched the springboard, or the apparatus. u After a 2 nd unsuccessful attempt to mount she should begin the exercise. Deduct 0.10 mount not from table. u "Mount" not from the Table of elements – deductions will apply, but no additional penalty if she has not touched the springboard or the apparatus. u Third attempt is not permitted. Deduct 1.0 for third run approach and 0.10 mount not from table.

3 The duration of the exercise on the balance beam may not exceed 1:30 minutes (90 seconds). u The Time Judge 1 (Assistant) begins timing when the gymnast takes-off from the springboard or mat. She stops the clock, when the gymnast touches the mat upon completion of her beam exercise. u A signal (gong) will be communicated ten (10) seconds prior to the maximum time limit and again at the maximum time limit (1:30) to indicate that the exercise is to be finished. u If the dismount lands at the sound of the second signal, there is no deduction. u If the dismount lands after the sound of the second signal, there is a deduction for exceeding the time limit. The judges evaluate the entire exercise including the dismount.
4
4 TIMING – Cont’d u The deduction for overtime will be taken, if the exercise is more than 1:30 minutes (90 sec.). - 0.10 P. u Elements performed after the 90 second time limit will be recognized by the D- Panel and evaluated by the E- Panel. u Time violations are reported in writing by the respective Time Judge to the D- Panel judges, who then take the deduction from the Final Score.
5
5 Intermediate (fall) time: u For interruption of the exercise due to a fall from the apparatus, an intermediate time period of ten (10) seconds is allowed (Time Judge 2 begins timing when the gymnast is on her feet after the fall). u The duration of the fall is timed separately; it will not be calculated in the total time of the exercise.
6
6 Intermediate (fall) time: u The fall period ends when the gymnast takes-off from the mat to remount the beam. u After remounting the beam the resumption of timing by Time Judge 1 begins with the first movement to continue the exercise. u The elapsed time during the fall will be displayed in seconds on the scoreboard. A signal (gong) will be communicated at the 10 second limit. u If the gymnast does not remount the beam by the 10 second time limit, the exercise is considered terminated.
