approach to the vault, but does not contact
the board, it is considered a balk and is
counted as one of the 3 attempts

other than the one flashed
• The vault performed determines the Start Value,
not the vault number flashed or announced.

number (or announcing the vault.) Judge does not
signal until it is announced or flashed.
