Dear Coaches & Judges,

 

Below are clarifications/corrections resulting from Region 5 Mini-Congress.  Please make these changes on your materials.

 

1.  On Bars

     a.  The JO angle deductions will NOT be used for casting at any level (Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum).

     b.  At the Bronze Level any leg position on a "cast, sole circle dismount" will count as 1 "A" element.  Gymnast may tuck, straddle, or pike legs.

 

2.  Vault - A Bronze level gymnast may perform a Level 4 Handstand Vault and a Handspring Vault.

 

3.  In Indiana, a two judge panel will be used for all Designated Local meets to judge Prep Optional gymnasts.  A minimum Level 7/8 rating is required.  This was announced at the State Planning meeting but was omitted from the Indiana Rules posted at the Region 5 PO website.

 

If you have further Prep Opt questions, please e mail Nancy Gibson @ judgen1@aol.com.

 

Thank you,

Nancy Gibson - Indiana Rep. for Region 5 Prep Optionals
