4 2018 NEBRASKA MEN S GYMNASTICS MEN S GYMNASTICS EVENTS POMMEL HORSE The gymnast must cover all three areas of the horse, the middle and both ends, while performing continuous circular movements interrupted only by the required scissor element. The only parts of the body that should touch the apparatus are the hands. The entire exercise should flow with a steady, controlled rhythm. Considered by many to be the most difficult of all men s gymnastics events, the pommel horse is also the most subtle. Each move is defined by complex hand placements and body positions. NCAA rules require gymnasts to include single leg work, circles, spindles and handstands, side and cross travels, kehres and wendeswings and a dismount. The pommel horse stands 42 inches high as measured from the top of the mat to the top of the apparatus. FLOOR EXERCISE The entire floor area must be used during the exercise, which consists primarily of three to five tumbling passes performed in different directions. The new NCAA scoring system requires gymnasts to include non-acrobatic elements, acrobatic forward, backward and sideward elements and a dismount. The exercise must also contain elements of balance, strength, jumps and leg circles. The area of the floor exercise mat is 40 feet by 40 feet. STILL RINGS The ring routine must include a swing to a handstand, swing to a strength element and a static strength skill. The exercise must also include kip and swing portions that may not lead to a held position. Examples of strength elements include a cross, an inverted cross or a planche. The rings should be absolutely still and in control at the end of each skill. The rings are 100 inches from the top of the mat. VAULT Each individual vault is categorized in the Code of Points, the official text giving relevant value of each skill performed. During the preflight from the springboard to the horse, the body must maintain proper form, i.e. legs together and straight. During the second flight, from the horse to the landing, the gymnast s body must rise and show a complete body extension before landing. The landing should be firm, without extra steps, and in line with the horse. The men s vault stands 53 inches high. The runway is a maximum of 82 feet long. PARALLEL BARS A parallel bar routine consists of swinging, flight and hold elements. The gymnast is required to execute swinging skills which originate from a support, a hang below the bars and an upper arm hang. Also required is at least one skill from the strength, leg swing and side bar element group. The parallel bars stand 70 inches high. HIGH BAR The routine on the high bar consists exclusively of swinging parts without stops. The gymnast must execute at least one move in which he releases and re-grasps the bar, and must perform at least one giant with either his back to the bar or with an eagle grip in which the wrists are rolled outward until the thumbs are on the outside. The gymnast is also required to perform an in bar skill like a stalder circle. The bar is 100 inches from the top of the mat.

5 MEN S GYMNASTICS SCORING HISTORY: HUSKERS Prior to 2005, both men s and women s gymnastics used the well-known scoring system with a top score of a perfect 10. However, in 2005, gymnastics officials created a new scoring system for men s gymnastics. In this new system, there is no limit to the score a gymnast can achieve for his routine. The top performances in men s gymnastics right now are receiving scores in the 15s and, occasionally, the low 16s. There are three components used in judging a men s gymnastics routine: difficulty, element groups and execution. THE DIFFICULTY SCORE: There are nine countable skills, plus a dismount. Skill values range from A to H, with A being the easiest and H being the hardest. (A: 0.1, B: 0.2, C: 0.3, D: 0.4, E: 0.5, F: 0.6, G: 0.7, H: 0.8). Judges will add the values of the 10 skills together to get the gymnasts difficulty score. Example Routine: E(0.5) D(0.4) C(0.3) C(0.3) D(0.4) B(0.2) A(0.1) B(0.2) B(0.2) D(0.4) equals a difficulty score of 3.0. ELEMENT GROUPS: There are four different element groups on each event and each group is worth 0.5. For each of the element groups that a gymnast fulfills, he receives 0.5. If all four element groups are fulfilled, a gymnast will receive 2.0. EXECUTION SCORE: Each gymnast automatically starts with an execution score of Judges can take the following deductions from that score: Small Error Medium Error Large Error Fall 0.1 (little step, small leg separation, slight knee bend, slight arm bend) 0.3 (big step, medium leg separation, medium knee bend, medium arm bend) 0.5 (large leg separation, large knee bend, large arm bend) 1.0 (falling off apparatus) The totals of these three components are added together to reach a start value: Execution Score 10.0 Element Groups Difficulty Score 3.0 = Start Value 15.5 If the gymnast had 0.9 points taken off for execution errors, the execution score would be 9.1 and the final score would look like this: WHAT TO LOOK FOR: Execution Score 9.1 Element Groups Difficulty Score 3.0 = Final Score 14.6 Though the scoring system is complicated, fans can still identify great routines without knowing everything about the scoring system. When watching a routine, be sure to look for: Good Form and Execution: A gymnast should always look as though he is in complete control, even when performing the most difficult of skills. Good form in gymnastics includes pointed toes, straight arms and legs and a tightness throughout the body. Every movement should look planned. Strength Moves Held Long Enough: On the still rings and on floor, the gymnast must stay in position for two seconds on each strength move (e.g. an iron cross). Height and Distance: In tumbling passes, vaults and release moves, the gymnast should look as if he is exploding off the apparatus. On vault, the distance a gymnast travels from the horse is also a factor in his final score. A Stuck Landing: On vaulting, dismounts, and tumbling passes on floor, the gymnast should end with a stuck landing -- he should not move his feet once they hit the ground. The gymnast is not allowed to lunge backward out of tumbling passes. (The women used to be able to do this without deduction, but it is now considered an error in women s artistic as well). Uniqueness of the Routine: A great gymnast will perform a routine that looks different from the rest. It will have something special about it -- risky tricks, an artistic flair or skills that are simply unique from others performed in the competition.
