6 General Rules 1. All athletes can register for 1 to 4 events. 2. Athletes who register for Artistic Gymnastics may not enter Rhythmic events. 3. An athlete who enters a Level A event (developmental) may not enter other gymnastics events in levels I thru IV. 4. Athletes may enter all 4 events and compete for an all-around award, (which will be a special medal) or be a specialist, competing in one, two, or more events within the same level. You must register your athletes in GMS for the all-around event to be eligible for the special medal. 5. A score and levels must be entered at registration. 6. Gymnasts will now rotate by assigned group or area to specific principal (event). 7. There are six levels of competition: I. Level A Compulsory routines for gymnasts who have ambulatory problems, etc., but are too advanced for the MATP (Mixed Gender) II. III. IV. Level I - Beginner Compulsory Level II - Intermediate Compulsory Level III - Advanced Compulsory V. Level IV Advanced Optional VI. Level B- Compulsory routines for gymnasts who are unable to perform level I routines 8. Level IV gymnasts perform an optional routine. 9. The text for all the routines is usually written for right dominant athletes. Left dominant athletes can reverse the whole routine to accommodate their dominant side. Once the routine is started on the dominant side, all aspects of the routine are executed on that same side. It is not recommended that the athlete change from the dominant side to the non-dominant side during any routine. Doing so will add extra steps/movements to the routine which will result in the athlete being deducted for extra steps/movements. 10. Athletes with Down Syndrome must have an x-ray indicating that he/she does not have atlantoaxial instability prior to participation in any gymnastics event. 11. Age group divisions will be as follows: 8-11, 12-15, 16-21, 22-29, and 30+. Schedules are sometimes presented as junior (8-15) and senior (16+). I. Age groups may be combined if there are not a sufficient number of athletes to have a competitive division. 5

7 Event-Specific Rules and Modifications 1. Athletes with hearing or visual impairments are allowed cues and signals from the coach. Coaches must notify the meet director and judges of the athlete s impairment before the event begins. 2. Modifications for athletes using canes or walkers: In the floor exercise, coaches may walk onto the floor and remove (and replace) walkers and other aids as needed without any deduction.

8 Registering for a State Event 1. Each coach must submit a Seasonal Intent form 8 weeks prior to the State Culminating event. The form will be ed out 12 weeks before the event date. 2. All athletes can register for 1 to 4 events. Athletes who register for Artistic Gymnastics may not enter Rhythmic events. An athlete who enters a Level A event (developmental) may not enter other gymnastics events in levels I thru IV. 3. Each athlete, coach, chaperone and guest must be registered in GMS by the registration deadline. 4. Once turned in, the Area Director will receive notification of any athletes with missing requirements, including missing/expired physicals or missing scores. If the information is not received, the area will be notified that the athlete has been dropped. 5. For an area to be in compliance for State Games: I. All athletes must have a current physical on file at the State Office II. III. IV. All Unified Partners must have a Unified Partner form on file at the State Office All coaches and chaperones must have current Protective Behaviors, General Orientation, and a Volunteer form on file at the State Office All coaches must have a current sport certification and concussion training on file at the State Office. SCORING PPPPT = Points/Tenths Example: PPPPT A gymnast score of 5.6 will look like: 5.6 A score and levels must be entered at registration, or by the Missing Scores due date. 7

9 Divisioning Process 1. Participants are placed in divisions (within age groups) based on scoring from previously completed compulsory routines. Competitors will be ranked by judges based on their execution and routine composition. Competition will begin with lower division scores and end with the highest. Heats will be combined if there are less than three in a heat (this could include age groups). 2. The procedures for divisioning have been developed to assist competition managers in applying the principles of fair and equitable competition to athletes of all ability levels. An athlete's ability is the primary factor in divisioning. Factors in establishing competitive divisions are age, gender, and times. 3. Ideally, a sufficient number of athletes or teams will participate at every competition so that equitable divisions can be structured. Experience has shown that in some competitions, however, there will not be a sufficient number of athletes to structure ideal divisions. 4. All coaches are reminded to review the sections in the Official Special Olympics Winter Sports Rules for clarifications of divisioning and age groupings. All questions concerning divisioning can be directed to Heather Burke at burke1hn@cmich.edu. 8

10 Training Requirements 1. In order for an individual or team to participate in competition, the athlete or team must be involved in an eight-week training program and receive training and competition opportunities. 2. A minimum 10 hours of training must occur before a culminating event. Training usually consists of 1-4 hours each week for eight weeks. 3. Although it is the desire to include every athlete that is training in all the games we offer, due to the many athletes we have competing in the state, it is not always possible. That is why we offer area, regional and a variety of state events to give all the athletes quality competition opportunities. 4. Coaches who are training athletes in a particular sport should follow the established SOMI sports seasons. The sports season is 8-12 weeks prior to the state competition for that sport. SOMI establishes sports seasons to provide maximum training time for the athletes and to coincide with competition opportunities. 9

11 Coaches Certification 1. The head coach or assistant coach for each team must be certified (in that sport) in order for the team to attend the state-culminating event and obtain an award. 2. To become certified in a sport the coach must: I. Complete the on-line General Orientation and Protective Behavior quizzes at somi.org II. III. IV. Completion of a sport-specific training school or mentoring program. Complete and turn in a Volunteer A form and Application for Sports Training. Complete and turn in Heads Up certification. 3. ** Coaches cannot train athletes unless all certification requirements and athlete medical forms are up to date. 4. A coach s certification will expire after three (3) years. For a coach to become recertified they may: 5. View an online recertification video 6. Attend a training school or webinar Concussion Certification 1. Sports-related concussions can be serious or even life-threatening situations if not managed correctly. The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have teamed up to provide information and resources to help educate coaches, officials, parents and students on the importance of proper concussion recognition and management. To take the concussion training course visit one of the following websites: When you complete the training a box will pop up asking you to enter your name, Please put your FIRST & LAST NAME. If you do not do that right away, you will have to take the whole training over again! 3.
