3 FLOOR EXERCISE ~ Chapter 2 ~ General Information I. RECOGNITION (COUNTING) of VALUE-PARTS A. Any floor exercise skill / element listed on the Xcel Skills Chart for each Division or listed in the Xcel Code of Points may receive VP credit two (2) times in an exercise, provided that the element occurs in a different connection (i.e. preceded or followed by different VP element). Any element listed in the Xcel Code of Points is given the value that is listed, even if it is different than the value listed in the JO Code of Points. 1. If a leap / jump / hop is performed that cannot be specifically found in the Xcel Skills Chart or in the Xcel Code of Points, the Judge may award comparable Value-Part credit if they can recognize the root element. This would include variations of leg position, as well as landing position of any previously valued leap / jump / hop. 2. Any new element not listed in Xcel Skill Charts or in Xcel Code of Points: a. Must be evaluated by the Regional Technical Committee Chair and the National Xcel Committee Chair. b. Element Evaluation Forms can be found on the website in the Forms section under Women. c. A copy of this evaluation must be presented to the Meet Referee or Chief Judge prior to the competition in order to ensure proper awarding of difficulty. Evaluations will be valid for one current Xcel quadrennium (Xcel quadrennium begins August 1 of the year following the Summer Olympics and ends four years later on July 31) and will be posted on Regional websites. A Dance elements on Beam and Floor Exercise: if a variation of an A Dance element is NOT listed in the Xcel Code of Points; the Judge may award A value if it is comparable to the root element. 3. If the same element is performed a third time, or is performed a second time in the exact same connection (see Exception #5 below): a. No VP credit awarded. EXCEPTION: VP credit can be awarded for element performed for third (3 rd ) time, IF not previously awarded VP credit because: Element lacked completion first (1 st ) or second (2 nd ) time performed, OR Element performed in exact same connection a second (2 nd ) time. b. All applicable Execution and Amplitude deductions are applied. c. No Special Requirement awarded. Element must receive VP credit to fulfill SR. 4. All Saltos and Aerials must land on any part of bottom of feet first to receive VP credit. a. Simultaneously landing bottoms of feet and hands, Deduct 0.50 for Fall. Award VP/SR credit. b. Bottoms of feet do not land first, Deduct 0.50 for Fall. Do not award VP or SR. 5. Acro Flight elements with hand support are eligible: a. To receive Value-Part credit regardless of the number of times performed (provided the series are different). b. May fulfill Special Requirements. 6. Acro elements such as Rolls / Cartwheels / Walkovers are eligible for Acro VP credit with an optional ending position not specifically listed in the Xcel Code of Points. FLOOR - 9 Revised 11/19/18

4 FLOOR EXERCISE ~ Chapter 2 ~ General Information RECOGNITION (COUNTING) OF VALUE-PARTS (continued) B. Elements considered DIFFERENT for counting VP: 1. Different number in Xcel Code of Points or listed separately on Xcel Skill Chart. 2. Same number in Xcel Code of Points, but meet following criteria: a. Saltos performed with different body positions. 1) Tuck / Pike / Stretched Saltos considered different elements. 2) Body shape maintained during majority of Salto determines recognized element body position. b. Different Degrees of Turn (½, 1/1, 1½) Addition of ¼ Turn does not make element different, unless specifically listed in Xcel Code of Points. EXAMPLE: #1.115 Tuck Jump and Tuck Jump ¼ Turn considered Same element. c. Take-off for Leap / Jump / Hop from one (1) or both legs. EXAMPLE: #1.101 Split Leap / Split Jump considered Different elements. d. Xcel Acro series will receive credit as Different series when at least one of the following occurs: 1) Different number of Acro VP elements receiving credit in 2 nd series, OR 2) Acro VP elements in the second 2 nd series in a Different order, OR 3) Different Acro VP element in first 1 st or second 2 nd series. EXAMPLES: a) First Series: Front Salto Tucked step-out, Front Handspring, Front Salto Stretched Second Series: Front Salto Tucked step-out, Front Handspring, Flyspring, Front Salto stretched. Considered Two Different Series due to addition of Flyspring. VP credit awarded to all elements. b) First Series: Front Salto Tucked step-out, Round-off, Flic-Flac, Salto Backward 1/1 twist. Second Series: Round-off, Flic-Flac, Salto Backward 1/1 twist. Considered Two Different Series due to deletion of Front Salto Tucked. VP credit awarded to all elements. c) First Series: Front Aerial, Round-off, Flic-Flac, Back Salto Tucked Second Series: Round-off, Flic-Flac, Back Salto Tucked Considered Two Different Series due to deletion of Front Aerial. VP credit awarded to all elements. d) First Series: Front Handspring step-out, Round-off, Flic-Flac, Back Salto Tucked Second Series: Round-off, Flic-Flac, Back Salto Tucked Considered Two Different Series because of addition of Front Handspring VP credit awarded to all elements. e) First Series: Round-off, Flic-Flac Second Series: Round-off, Flic-Flac, Flic-Flac Considered Two Different Series with addition of Flic-Flac in second series. VP credit will be awarded to all elements. In reverse order, they would also be considered Two Different Series due to different number of elements in the series. C. Elements / Series considered the SAME for recognition of VP: 1. Salto with 2-foot landing or with step-out, considered same element. EXAMPLE: Front Salto Tucked step-out A / Front Salto with 2-foot landing considered same element. FLOOR - 10
