Recognition of DV elementsSame & Different DV

• The same element is recognized only one time as a DV

– If performed the 2nd time DV is not considered

DV

19

• Elements are considered different with– Different numbersExample:

• BB – 2.403 and 2.304

Different ElementsDV

20

UB elements:– are performed with or without a hop grip change

– giants fwd & bwd performed with legs straddled or together, with hip bent or stretched

Same Elements if listed under same numberand following criteria

DV

21

• Dance elements:when performed in Side or Cross position (BB)Jumps with 1/1 turn or more performed in side position will be awarded 1 DV higher than in cross position.

Jumps that start from side position and finish in cross position, or vice versa – consider as elements performed in cross position

with take off from one or two feet with the same leg positionland on one or both feet (BB)

land on one or both feet or in prone position (FX)turns in the forward and backward direction

Same Elements if listed under same numberand following criteria

5.3.2 Recognition of DV of elements

DV

(Help desk 2011)

23

Same # – Different elements

• there are different body positions (tuck, pike or stretched) in saltos,

• – the description for body position of dance elements is different

• – the legs are together or straddled in saltos (UB)• – the legs are in cross or side split in dance elements• – there are different degrees of turns

– ½ , 1/1, 1½ (180°, 360°, 540°), etc.– See Section 9 for specific apparatus requirements

• – the support is performed on one or both arms or free• – the acrobatic elements take-off from one or both legs

DV

24

Dance Same # = Same DV

• With take off from 1 or 2 feet with the same leg and body position

• Land on 1 or 2 feet or in prone position (FX)

DV

25

Same # = Same DV (BB)

• Land on 1 or 2 feet • Performed in cross or side position

• If the same dance element is performed in cross & side position– DV awarded 1 time only– in chronological order

DV

26

Same # = Same DV

• Jumps/ Leaps with ¼ (90˚)

• ½ (180˚) and ¾ (270˚)

• 1/1 (360˚) and 1¼ (450˚)and etc.

DV

27

Jumps with 1/1 or more turn

• Jumps with 1/1 turn or more performed in side position award– 1 DV higher than in cross position

Example: = C = D (reward DV in chronological order)

DV

28

Jumps with 1¼ (450˚)

• start from side position and finish in cross position (vice versa)– Consider same as element performed in

cross position

No higher value will be awarded

• DV awarded one time only• In chronological order

DV

29

ACROSame # = Same DV

• Acro elements land on 1 or 2 feet Examples

BB # 5.410 FX: # 4.101, 4.202

• DV awarded one time only• In chronological order

DV

30

Recognition of elements occurs in chronological order

• 3 principles to follow for recognition of elements:

• 1. An element devalued due to technical failure (credited one DV lower) that does not exist in the Table of elements is performed again in the exercise it will then be considered as a repetition and no DV will be awarded.

(Help desk 2011)

31

Recognition of element When an element devalued due to technical

B C D C

(Did not finish in handstand)

32

Recognition of elements

• 2. When an element is recognized as another element from the Table of elements due to

• technical failure.

• In this case, if the element is performed later in the exercise with correct technique, both elements will receive DV. They will be considered as 2 different elements in the Table.

(Help desk 2011)

33

A C D E (do not hold free leg at (do not complete horizontal exactly 3/1 turns)

to the end)

Recognition of elementsWhen an element is recognized as another

34

Recognize as different DV from Table

Free leg swing below 45° reward

If Performed 2nd time with correct

technique reward

DV

35

Recognition of element

• When no DV was credited due to technical failure.

• In this case, if the element is performed later in the exercise with correct technique, it will receive DV. Is not considered repetition since first time no DV was given.

(Help desk 2011)

36

-- D --- D (without landing feet first) no grasp on first attempt

Recognition of elementsWhen no DV was credited due to technical failure.

37

Criteria for Turns on one leg

• 1st – Degree of turn on support leg• 2nd – Free leg turn completion• 3rd – Free leg position

DV

38

Criteria 1: Degree of turn on Support

leg

• Increments of ½ turn on BB• Increments of 1/1 turn on FX

DV

39

Criteria 2: Free leg turn CompletionBB & FX

• BB & FX Free leg drops too early–Becomes an A-element –Performed 2nd time correctly – credit

DV• Turns performed in different directions

(in and out) are the same elements.

CR

41

Composition Requirements

• 1 element may fulfill more than 1 CR• Only element in table may fulfill CR• An element may not be performed

again to fulfill another CR

• Dismount Principle– No DMT, A- or B- award 0.00– C- award 0.30– D- or higher award 0.50

CR

42

No Dismount

• If the salto for the dismount has not begun– no initiation of rotation or

• No attempt to dismount at all – jump off

*DMT is always 1 of the counting DV

CR

Example 1 BB - No DMT credit

D- Panel• No DMT CR • NO DV – count 7

elements only

E- Panel• 0.50 No attempt

to dismount• Landing

deductions

— Round off miss foot and not initiaterotation for salto or

— Round off, jump off BB

*DMT is always 1 of the counting DV

44

No DMT - Calculation of DV

UB – BB- FX DMT - fails to land feet first

• 9 elements with DV performed – D- Panel

• count highest 7 elements• 7 elements with DV performed

– D- Panel• Count 7 elements

CR

45

Connection Value 0.10, 0.20 (possible 0.3)

• Devalued elements may be used for CV

• No CV can be awarded with a fall

• Elements used for CV do not have to be among the 8 counting DV

CV

CV Connection Value

a) Only elements from the Table of elements may fulfill CR.

b) One element may fulfill more than one CR;however, an element may not be repeated to fulfill another CR.

c) Same elements on UB, acrobatic elements on BB and FX may be performed 2 times within one connection

46

CV Connection Value Same flight elements on UB, acrobatic elements on BB and FX may be performed 2 times within one connection and still receive CV

UB D + D + X + D 0.10 + 0.20 + 0.10

FX C + X+ C 0.10 + 0.10 47

48

All acro flight elements (FX without hand support) & dance elements may be used for CV

The order of succession of elements within a connection can be freely chosen (unless there is a special requirement for connection recognition)

Connection Value

D- salto + A- jump

CV

49

• Elements may not be repeated in another CV – In connections recognition occurs

in chronological order

• Example BB

Connection Value CV

But can be seen 2x in one Connection

50

Direct & Indirect

• UB & BB– All connections must be direct

• FX– Connections may be

• Direct• Indirect*

*Directly connected acro elements with flight phase and hand support are performed between saltos

CV

51

Without:• Hesitation or stop between

elements• extra step between elements• Foot touching BB between elements• Lack of balance between elements • Additional hand/arm/leg movement

or swing

Direct Connections – Acro, Dance or Mixed

CV

52

• With the connection of 3 or more elements, the 2nd element may be used twice– 1st time as the last element of a connection– 2nd time as the first element to begin a new

CV

CV

53

CV

54

Acro Line

• An acro line may consist of a min. of 1 flight element without hand support and take off 2 feet (rebound) – Including mixed series– Failure to land feet first from salto is still

considered an Acro Line• The following are NOT acro lines

– Mixed series (no salto)– Elements

55

Score of “0.00”

• If E- score is “0.00” or a negative number (-) – the gymnast receives the value of the D-

score– neutral deductions are subtracted from

the Final score • In this case the D- score

SECTION 8 — Regulations Governing the E- Score

Description of E- Score 10.00 (Performance) For perfection of execution and artistry of presentation, the gymnast may earn a score of 10.00. The E- Score includes deductions for faults in: − Execution− Artistry and choreography

57

E-Score

• 8.2 Evaluation by E- Jury • The E- judges will judge an exercise and determine the

deductions independently.

• Each performance is evaluated with reference to expectations of perfect performance.

• All deviations from this expectation are deducted. • Deductions for errors in execution and artistry are added

together and then deducted from 10.00 points to determine the E- score.

86

9.1.2 Landings from Single Saltos with Twists a) Elements with twists must be completed exactly or another element from the COP will be recognized.*– as dismounts from UB and BB– during the exercise on BB and FX– all landings on VT

Note: The placement of the front foot is decisive when awarding the difficulty value

87

Landing from single Saltos with twist

For under turning:

• – 3/1 twist becomes 2½ twist

• – 2½ twist becomes 2/1 twist

• – 2/1twist becomes 1½ twist

• – 1½ twist becomes 1/1 twist

*FX: When there is a salto with twist directly connected to another salto and in the first salto the turn is not completed exactly (but the gymnast is able to continue into the next element), the first element will NOT be devalued.

88

Turn recognition in dance

• Must be performed exactly

• The position of the shoulders and hips are decisive otherwise another element from COP will be credited

• Turns on one leg are in increments of:– 180º for BB– 360º for FX

Under turning on Support leg:-3/1 becomes 2/1 turn (FX)-2/1 becomes 1 ½ turn (BB)

89

Dance -Turn Considerations
