On UB, when a 20 cm safety mat must be slid in for a D+
release element (C for Novice), the 10 cm supplementary
mat may be left slightly to the side at the beginning of the
routine so that tall gymnasts do not brush / hit the safety
mat. As soon as the 20 cm safety mat is removed, the
coach must adjust placement of the 10 cm supplementary
mat so that it is in the correct position for the dismount.
On UB, the 10 cm supplementary mat used for minimum B

Warm-up

General warm-up: In Canada, gymnasts are authorized to use
any apparatus during the general warm-up. They may vault
and/or perform skills or routines.

During the pre-competition apparatus warm-up, a gymnast
may warm-up only on the apparatus where she will compete.

Unauthorized warm-up will be considered as unsportsmanlike
behaviour with direct impact on the result/performance of the
gymnast/team. The Canadian Head Judge will warn the
offending coach first then if necessary shall give a Yellow Card
and the corresponding deduction of 0.50 will be taken from
the gymnast’s final score on that event.Vault

Warm-up

During competition, gymnasts may warm up
on the event apparatus as permitted by the
rules as outlined in the Code of Points or in
the Code Supplement. Gymnasts may not
warm up on other event apparatus. i.e.
when warming up for beam, using the floor
exercise mat, unless authorized, for a given
session, by the Canadian Head Judge (or
designate) or the Program Director WAG.

Warm-up
Vault Warm Up: Calculated for the group – includes
apparatus preparation.
 The maximum warm up time is 50 sec. each, x the
number of the gymnasts in the group.
 UB - The time permitted for the preparation of the
Uneven Bars will not be calculated into the warm-up
time allotted per gymnast. Each gymnast will be
permitted 30 seconds to warm up on the UB. VICO
 BB – 30 seconds each including board placement and
preparation. VICO


FX - each 30 seconds (minimum 3 minutes.)

Warm-up


The end of the warm up period is signaled by
a gong. If at this time the gymnast is
mentally and physically prepared to vault or is
still on the apparatus, she may complete the
element or sequence started.
When warm-up is over:

Following the warm-up period or during
the “competition pause”, the apparatus
may be prepared but not used.
11
Warm-up


As per the Code of Points Regulations for Gymnasts
(Page 2): “Warm-Up – Following the warm up period or
during the ‘competition pause’, the apparatus may be
prepared but not used.” This includes the matting at an
event. i.e. saltos on the beam mat while waiting for the
green light or signal to begin, are not permitted.
As per the Code of Points Regulations for Gymnasts
(Page 2): “She must leave the podium immediately after
the conclusion of her exercise”. In Canada this is
interpreted as also meaning that gymnasts may not
perform a skill(s) as they are leaving the apparatus area.
i.e. on beam during the routine gymnast fell on back
salto – on leaving the apparatus the coach has gymnast
perform element again on the landing mat.

ARTICLE 4 – REGULATIONS FOR JUDGES

Functions of the D Panel -VICO


The D1 and D2 judges determine the D Score jointly,
which will include the Canadian Model. Discussion is
allowed including consultation with the E panel judges
on the D Score. The D1 and D2 judges must come to an
agreement on the D Score. If there is no agreement,
the D panel judges will discuss the D Score with the E
panel judges. The D Score agreed to by the majority of
the D and E panel judges will prevail.
The D2 judge flashes the D Score after the E deductions
have been submitted by the E panel judges.
27
Functions of the D Panel -VICO

The D1 judge calculates the average E deduction and
the score. She monitors the work of the
secretary/scorer and the flasher. She calculates the
average score and the final score and ensures that
neutral deductions e.g., time and line are applied.
She informs the flasher and ensures the score is
flashed before the next gymnast receives the signal
to start her vault/exercise for ALL National level
categories. She makes the necessary changes on the
score sheet following the adjustment of D Score. She
informs the Canadian Head Judge of the change.
28
Functions of the D Panel -VICO


The D1 and D2 must duly record a control score of all
exercises for the purpose of evaluation of the E score and
to control the total evaluation and final score for each
exercise. This is to assure that the gymnast is given the
correct score for her performance. D1 and D2 Judges
should note the FIG tolerated deviations and use these as
a reference for the E Panel scores. (Code of Points – Page
6)
The D2 judge with the D1 judge, applies the sections of
the Canadian Models under their responsibility, posts the
D Score, ensures that the D Score is seen by the judges
on the panel, the coaches, television and the public and
monitors the work of the timer(s).
29
Functions of the D Panel -VICO

The D Score is posted until the D1 judge is ready to give the
signal to the next gymnast. The decision to adjust the D Score
must be taken by both D judges. A decision to adjust the Final
Score due to a modification to the average E deduction must be
taken by all the judges on the E panel. Problems and special
cases are referred to the Competition Head Judge or to the
Canadian Head Judge. No judge is obligated to change her
score but reaching an agreement amongst panel members is
highly desirable.
The D1 judge is responsible to ensure that the equipment meets
the specifications on her apparatus.D2 enters the D score into
