  • General Faults & Penalties
    General Faults & Penalties COMPULSORY Uneven Bars, Balance Beam and Floor Exercise It is intended that all elements and connections be performed with maximum amplitude and execution and in the order as written in the text. Any departures from the correct technique or performance are to be penalized according to the following Table for General Faults and Penalties. Also, refer to each event for Specifc Penalties for each Level. Always apply these General Penalties whenever a Specifc Penalty is not indicated. Deduct all execution and/or amplitude errors leading to a fall. Do NOT deduct for BALANCE errors leading to a fall. The total execution and/or amplitude deductions taken on a major element MAY NOT exceed the value of the element plus 0.50. Deductions for FALLS, EXTRA SWINGS, and lack of continuity in required series due to a fall are taken in addition to the execution and/or amplitude deductions. General deductions apply in addition to or in the absence of specifc deductions. Points of Emphasis Explanation: For judging purposes, “Points of Emphasis” notes throughout the text refer to the general penalties listed. This is an important aspect in the judgment of the routine. For example, if the “Points of Emphasis” stresses “straight arms and legs” this refers to the “up to 0.30” each deduction for bent arms or bent legs. Similarly, if the “Points of Emphasis” includes a straight hollow-body position, this would refer to the “up to 0.20” deduction for incorrect body alignment, position or posture on major elements. ALL ROUTINES MAY BE REVERSED IN THEIR ENTIRETY; HOWEVER, NO SINGLE ELEMENT MAY BE REVERSED UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED.

  • Gymnastics Jargon Definitions
    Gymnastics Jargon Definitions Many terms are used in gymnastics that can be confusing to those not involved in the sport, or who have only been involved in the sport for a short time or even those involved in the sport from a different region. The following is a clarification on the meaning of these terms on this site. If you find a term on the site that you'd like clarification on please use the form at the bottom of this page and it will be added to the list shortly. Please do not ask for clarifications on skill names. The scope of this list is to clarify global terms, body positions, jargon, etc. Definitions Abduction: Hip abduction is pushing the knees outward. Shoulder abduction is raising the arms overhead by moving the hands out to the side. Adduction: Hip adduction is bringing the knees together. Shoulder adduction is pressing the arms downward while out to the side. Agonist Muscle: The muscle being contracted to perform a movement. All Around: Refers to a gymnast that competes all of their gender specific events. For men this is the 6 events, and for women the 4 events described below. A specialist, in contrast, only competes a sub-set of the events. Antagonist Muscle: The muscle acting in opposition of an intended movement. Amplitude: In gymnastics this term means height or spectacular excecution of a particular skill. When a gymnast performs a skill bigger than other gymnasts typically perform the same skill it is said to have a lot of amplitude. At various times the code has given bonus for amplitude.

There is NO deduction for more or less steps. The body should be tight, with the abdominals in, to execute a STRETCH JUMP while maintaining a straight-hollow body position. Land in demi-plié. ARMS: Lift to high on the JUMP. The landing position of the arms is optional. Extend the legs to finish in a straight stand. ARMS: Move to high position. HANDSTAND FALL TO STRAIGHT LYING POSITION The gymnast may step backward onto the board or remain on the mat prior to the kick up to handstand; how- ever, the hands must be placed on the mat. Step forward through the ball of the Right foot and execute a Right lunge. Lift the Left leg backward-upward maintaining a straight line from the hands, torso, and Left leg while reaching for the skill cushion. Continue this levering action and lift the Left leg backward-upward as the torso lowers.
