18. 18 Recognition of DV elements Same & Different DV The same element is recognized only one time as a DV – If performed the 2 nd time DV is not considered DV

19. 19 Elements are considered different with – Different numbers Example: BB – 2.403 and 2.304 Different Elements DV

20. 20 UB elements : – are performed with or without a hop grip change – giants fwd & bwd performed with legs straddled or together, with hip bent or stretched Same Elements if listed under same number and following criteria DV

21. 21 Dance elements: when performed in Side or Cross position (BB) Jumps with 1/1 turn or more performed in side position will be awarded 1 DV higher than in cross position. Jumps that start from side position and finish in cross position, or vice versa – consider as elements performed in cross position with take off from one or two feet with the same leg position land on one or both feet (BB) land on one or both feet or in prone position (FX) turns in the forward and backward direction Same Elements if listed under same number and following criteria DV

22. 22 5.3.2 Recognition of DV of elements DV (Help desk 2011)

23. 23 Same # – Different elements there are different body positions (tuck, pike or stretched) in saltos, – the description for body position of dance elements is different – the legs are together or straddled in saltos (UB) – the legs are in cross or side split in dance elements – there are different degrees of turns – ½, 1/1, 1½ (180°, 360°, 540°), etc. – See Section 9 for specific apparatus requirements – the support is performed on one or both arms or free – the acrobatic elements take-off from one or both legs DV

24. 24 Dance Same # = Same DV With take off from 1 or 2 feet with the same leg and body position Land on 1 or 2 feet or in prone position (FX) DV

25. 25 Same # = Same DV (BB) Land on 1 or 2 feet Performed in cross or side position If the same dance element is performed in cross & side position – DV awarded 1 time only – in chronological order DV

26. 26 Same # = Same DV Jumps/ Leaps with ¼ (90˚) ½ (180˚) and ¾ (270˚) 1/1 (360˚) and 1¼ (450˚) and etc. DV

27. 27 Jumps with 1/1 or more turn Jumps with 1/1 turn or more performed in side position award – 1 DV higher than in cross position Example: = C= D (reward DV in chronological order) DV

28. 28 Jumps with 1¼ (450˚) start from side position and finish in cross position (vice versa) – Consider same as element performed in cross position No higher value will be awarded DV awarded one time only In chronological order DV

29. 29 ACRO Same # = Same DV Acro elements land on 1 or 2 feet Examples BB # 5.410 FX: # 4.101, 4.202 DV awarded one time only In chronological order DV

30. 30 Recognition of elements occurs in chronological order 3 principles to follow for recognition of elements: 1. An element devalued due to technical failure (credited one DV lower) that does not exist in the Table of elements is performed again in the exercise it will then be considered as a repetition and no DV will be awarded. (Help desk 2011)

31. 31 Recognition of element When an element devalued due to technical B C D C (Did not finish in handstand)

32. 32 Recognition of elements 2. When an element is recognized as another element from the Table of elements due to technical failure. In this case, if the element is performed later in the exercise with correct technique, both elements will receive DV. They will be considered as 2 different elements in the Table. (Help desk 2011)

33. 33 A C D E (do not hold free leg at (do not complete horizontal exactly 3/1 turns) to the end) Recognition of elements When an element is recognized as another

34. 34 Recognize as different DV from Table Free leg swing below 45° reward If Performed 2 nd time with correct technique reward DV

35. 35 Recognition of element When no DV was credited due to technical failure. In this case, if the element is performed later in the exercise with correct technique, it will receive DV. Is not considered repetition since first time no DV was given. (Help desk 2011)

36. 36 -- D --- D (without landing feet first) no grasp on first attempt Recognition of elements When no DV was credited due to technical failure.

37. 37 Criteria for Turns on one leg 1st – Degree of turn on support leg 2nd – Free leg turn completion 3rd – Free leg position DV

38. 38 Criteria 1: Degree of turn on Support leg Increments of ½ turn on BB Increments of 1/1 turn on FX DV

39. 39 Criteria 2: Free leg turn Completion BB & FX BB & FX Free leg drops too early – Becomes an A-element – Performed 2 nd time correctly – credit DV Turns performed in different directions (in and out) are the same elements. DV

40. CR Composition Requirements 2.50 D- Panel CR 40

41. 41 Composition Requirements 1 element may fulfill more than 1 CR Only element in table may fulfill CR An element may not be performed again to fulfill another CR Dismount Principle – No DMT, A- or B- award 0.00 – C- award 0.30 – D- or higher award 0.50 CR

42. 42 No Dismount If the salto for the dismount has not begun – no initiation of rotation or No attempt to dismount at all – jump off *DMT is always 1 of the counting DV CR

43. 43 Example 1 BB - No DMT credit D- Panel No DMT CR NO DV – count 7 elements only E- Panel 0.50 No attempt to dismount Landing deductions — Round off miss foot and not initiate rotation for salto or — Round off, jump off BB *DMT is always 1 of the counting DV CR

44. 44 No DMT - Calculation of DV UB – BB- FX DMT - fails to land feet first 9 elements with DV performed – D- Panel count highest 7 elements 7 elements with DV performed – D- Panel Count 7 elements CR

45. 45 Connection Value 0.10, 0.20 (possible 0.3) Devalued elements may be used for CV No CV can be awarded with a fall Elements used for CV do not have to be among the 8 counting DV CV

46. CV Connection Value a) Only elements from the Table of elements may fulfill CR. b) One element may fulfill more than one CR; however, an element may not be repeated to fulfill another CR. c) Same elements on UB, acrobatic elements on BB and FX may be performed 2 times within one connection 46

47. CV Connection Value Same flight elements on UB, acrobatic elements on BB and FX may be performed 2 times within one connection and still receive CV UB D + D + X + D 0.10 + 0.20 + 0.10 FX C + X + C 0.10 + 0.10 47

48. 48 All acro flight elements (FX without hand support) & dance elements may be used for CV The order of succession of elements within a connection can be freely chosen (unless there is a special requirement for connection recognition) Connection Value D- salto + A- jump CV

49. 49 Elements may not be repeated in another CV – In connections recognition occurs in chronological order Example BB Connection Value CV But can be seen 2x in one Connection

50. 50 Direct & Indirect UB & BB – All connections must be direct FX – Connections may be Direct Indirect* *Directly connected acro elements with flight phase and hand support are performed between saltos CV

51. 51 Without: Hesitation or stop between elements extra step between elements Foot touching BB between elements Lack of balance between elements Additional hand/arm/leg movement or swing Direct Connections – Acro, Dance or Mixed CV

52. 52 With the connection of 3 or more elements, the 2 nd element may be used twice – 1 st time as the last element of a connection – 2 nd time as the first element to begin a new CV CV

53. 53 CV

54. 54 Acro Line An acro line may consist of a min. of 1 flight element without hand support and take off 2 feet (rebound) – Including mixed series – Failure to land feet first from salto is still considered an Acro Line The following are NOT acro lines – Mixed series (no salto) – Elements

55. 55 Score of “0.00” If E- score is “0.00” or a negative number (-) – the gymnast receives the value of the D- score – neutral deductions are subtracted from the Final score In this case the D- score

56. Help desk 2011 SECTION 8 — Regulations Governing the E- Score Description of E- Score 10.00 (Performance) For perfection of execution and artistry of presentation, the gymnast may earn a score of 10.00. The E- Score includes deductions for faults in: − Execution − Artistry and choreography 56

57. E-Score 8.2 Evaluation by E- Jury The E- judges will judge an exercise and determine the deductions independently. Each performance is evaluated with reference to expectations of perfect performance. All deviations from this expectation are deducted. Deductions for errors in execution and artistry are added together and then deducted from 10.00 points to determine the E- score. 57

85. Stretched Hollow in chest Stretched Slightly arched Pike Hip angle Good Stretch All body parts in alignment A slight hollow in the chest or slight arched body position is acceptable When any pike in the hips it is considered a pike position in: - Non-twisting elements - Vaults 85

86. 9.1.2 Landings from Single Saltos with Twists a) Elements with twists must be completed exactly or another element from the COP will be recognized.* – as dismounts from UB and BB – during the exercise on BB and FX – all landings on VT Note: The placement of the front foot is decisive when awarding the difficulty value 86

87. 87 Landing from single Saltos with twist For under turning: – 3/1 twist becomes 2½ twist – 2½ twist becomes 2/1 twist – 2/1twist becomes 1½ twist – 1½ twist becomes 1/1 twist *FX: When there is a salto with twist directly connected to another salto and in the first salto the turn is not completed exactly (but the gymnast is able to continue into the next element), the first element will NOT be devalued.

88. 88 Turn recognition in dance Must be performed exactly The position of the shoulders and hips are decisive otherwise another element from COP will be credited Turns on one leg are in increments of: – 180º for BB – 360º for FX Under turning on Support leg: -3/1 becomes 2/1 turn (FX) -2/1 becomes 1 ½ turn (BB)

89. 89 Dance -Turn Considerations Must be performed on the toes. Have a fixed and well defined shape throughout the turn. The support leg whether stretched or bent does not change the value of the difficulty. Degree of rotation is determined once the heel of the support leg drops (turn is considered finished) For turns on 1 leg requiring the free leg to be at a specific position, the position must be maintained throughout the turn. If free leg is not in prescribed position - credit another element from the COP
