B.C. SECONDARY SCHOOLS GYMNASTICS ASSOCIATION - GIRLS ROUTINE RULES Revised November 2015 Style Definition: Normal The Girls routine rules were formatted from the Junior Olympic (JO) Program used by Gymnastics BC for its provincial program, which were altered to suit the beginner to experienced coach as well as the beginner to experienced school gymnast. These rules have the flexibility to suit beginner gymnasts as well as the more advanced. The following are some helpful hints in this regard. 1. A school coach or a group of school coaches may select only certain A, B or C moves to teach their gymnasts. 2. Music may be obtained from any instrumental arrangement. Ask the gymnast to find their favorite instrumental piece. Cut and record until the desired length of music is reached. Music with jazz arrangements is particularly appropriate. Normally, a routine s music will have a fast tempo portion for tumbling and a slow tempo portion for dance and controlled acrobatics. No vocals are permitted. One CD per gymnast, with gymnast s name and school name attached. CD players will be available. 3. ATTIRE school team gymnastic body suit (long or short sleeve), gymnastic shoes and grips (optional). Tights may be worn if they are no longer than thigh length and match exactly the body suit in colour and material. 0.2 deduction - for shorts other than above 0.2 deduction for jewellery, each time. (only 1 stud earring allowed) *Taken once from first event score 4. A vault, bars, beam, or floor routine may be repeated only in case of technical malfunctions that are beyond the control and responsibility of the athlete and coach. It is the decision of the head judge of the particular apparatus to decide upon request of the gymnast s coach. The gymnast may request to see the score of her first routine before deciding if she is going to repeat. The request must be made immediately after the malfunctions. 5. Scoring System *NEW for 2015 Season* Vault: Start value is determined by vault performed. Maximum start value in each level is. Final score is determined as follows: Start Value minus Execution Deductions = Final Score Example: Level 1 athlete performs a straddle through vault (no layout position) with spring board. Start Value = 9.0 Total Execution Deductions from judge (bent legs/arms, steps on landing etc) = 1.5 Final Score = 9.0-1.2 = 7.8 Bars/Beam/Floor: Maximum Start Value for all levels is. Start value for a routine is determined by, minus 0.5 for any missing Special Requirements, minus 0.1 for any missing required supplementary or A value skills or 0.3 for any required B value skills. Final Score = Start Value Execution Deductions Example: Level 1 athlete on Bars performs a routine with only 5 supplementary or A value skills (6 are required) and includes 4 of the special requirements, but missed the cast feet to bar height. Start value = 0.5 (missing special requirement of cast) 0.1 (missing one A or sup value skill) = 9.4. Final Score = 9.4 minus any execution deductions Short Routines: If a routine on Bars has less than 5 counting skills, or a routine on Floor/Beam is shorter than 30 seconds a 2.00 deduction is taken from the final score. IMPORTANT FOR 2015 SEASON! Due the significant change to gymnastics across the province this year, there are sure to be some confusion/mistakes on both the part of judges and coaches or athletes. Please keep that in mind this year and whenever possible/necessary give benefit to the gymnast so we can have success with our programs!

Clarifications to the Nov 23 rd Version of 2015 BC Highschool Gymnastics Updated January 2015 1. Deduction pages for tuck/straddle through vaults and handspring to back vaults are available and should be posted online with the code 2. Repeated skills will only receive credit if they are considered different. (This was previously only written under bars, but is applicable on all events) 3. Vault Questions: 4. Bars: 5. Floor a. Level 3 and up must vault with a beat board, no mini tramps b. Level 1 Handspring to back on mats must be with beat board only, no mini tramps a. For Special Requirement of two different circling elements in Level 3-5, if only one is performed, credit 0.25 towards their start value b. Casts that reach the amplitude required for the Special Requirements in that level will not receive amplitude deductions. Eg) Level 1 and 2: Casts to bar high no amplitude deduction. Level 3: Cast to horizontal no amplitude deduction. Level 4: Cast to 45 no amplitude deduction c. Long Swings: i. Below Horizontal Supplementary Value in Level 1 only. Given value if biometrically identifiable as a long swing ii. Long Swing to Horizontal Given a A value in all levels provided swing reaches within 20 of horizontal. Within 10 0.05 deduction, within 10-20 0.1 deduction a. Typo: Deductions for bent arms in handstand roll or backwards roll are 0.1/0.2/0.3 depending on the degree of bending (there was an error in the previous code that listed the deductions at 0.1/0.3/0.5) b. Typo: Level 3 Restrictions should read No B+ acro (ie B+ dance are permitted) Further Questions? Email at hcmhenderson@gmail.com
