60
Pommel HorseThe Flop Document

• This section summarizes Flops and Flops to
  Russians as explained in the The Flop Rules, by
  Dave Juszczyk and available on the NGJA Website.
• Flops are Group IV skills comprised of Direct
  Stocklis and/or Pommel Loops.
• All Flops start from front support. (FIG 5/01)

61
Pommel HorseThe Flop Document - I

• Flops are sequences of Stocklis (S) Pommel
  Loops (L) which can be combined to create skills
  of D or higher value.
• A gymnast can do any number of stocklis or loops
  in a flop sequence, but cannot perform 3
  consecutive stocklis or 3 consecutive loops.

62
Pommel HorseThe Flop Document - II

• A gymnast can do only 1 sequence of flops and 1
  combined sequence of flops and Russians in a
  single routine. However, they may not be directly
  connected. A B skill must be in between and not
  on one pommel.
• Flops can only fulfill the group IV requirement
• Flairing all skills in a flop sequence raises the
  value by 1 letter
• 3 flops D, Flaired E 4 flops E, Flaired
  SE

63
Pommel HorseThe Flop Document - III

• 1 or 2 flops can be combined with a single pommel
  Russian skill to create a separate flop-Russian
  combined sequence of D or higher value
• When starting from a 1/2 wendeswing (1/4 turn)
  all flops are counted from front support to
  front support, the 1/2 wendeswing is not
  counted as anything.

64
Pommel HorseThe Flop Document IVStockli Rules

• Stocklis are always counted from front support to
  front support
• A skill is a Stockli if it includes a 1/2 turn
  from front support to front support.
• The exception to this is for a longitudinal
  travel to the pommel finishing with a 1/4 turn to
  front support. This is also a Stockli.

65
Pommel HorseThe Flop Document IVPommel Loop
Rules

• Pommel loops All start from front support(FIG
  5/01)
• Front sup crossw PL to Front sup crossw
• Front sup sidew 1/4 t. PL to Front sup crossw
• Front sup crossw PL to 1/4 t. to Front sup sidew

66
Pommel HorseThe Flop Document VCombining Flops

• It is impossible to do a single pommel loop
  between 2 stocklis.
• In order to successfully complete 2 pommel loops
  between 2 stocklis (SLLS) the 2 pommel loops must
  each include a 1/4 turn (S - 1/4t. Loop Loop
  1/4t. - S)

67
Pommel HorseThe Flop Document VIConnecting
Flops To Other Skills - I

• Flops cannot connect to a Flop-Russian sequence.
• Travels that end in side support can connect to
  flop sequences if no more than a 1/2 circle
  between the skills. (e.g. Mogilny)

68
Pommel HorseThe Flop Document VIIConnecting
Flops To Other Skills - II

• A Sivado can connect to a flop sequence that
  begins with a stockli starting from a cross
  support on the end.
• Flop sequence or Flop-Russian can connect to a
  Russian skill on the end if the gymnast does not
  go to a rear support in between. (stomach must
  face horse throughout the connection)

Still RingsElement Groups

• I. Kip and swing elements
• II. Swing to handstands
• III. Swing to strength holds
• IV. Strength and hold elements
• V. Dismounts
• Apparatus height increased by 5 cm.

85
Still RingsGeneral Principles - I

• Connection ONLY for strength to strength.
• Same final strength hold position may be shown at
  most twice regardless of how the position was
  achieved.
• Even though the final strength hold position may
  be shown twice, a repeated element (same box) is
  not given credit.

86
Still RingsGeneral Principles - II

• No Crossing of the ropes allowed.
• Deductions are taken both for the initial entry
  position (gt15) and for the actual hold position.
  
• A false grip on strength parts is a deduction
  (-0.1).

87
Still RingsGeneral Principles - III

• Presses are recognized only if the beginning
  strength part was recognized and end position is
  held at least 1 sec.
• If the arm bend is greater than 45, then the
  felge to handstand is not recognized.

88
Still RingsGeneral Principles - IV

• Example of Deductions
• Felge to inverted cross
• Entry at 35 above horizontal
• Lowers to inv. cross 10 above horiz.
• Deduct 0.2 entry too high,
• Deduct 0.1 for position on the hold.

89
Still RingsWhat is a Maltese?

• Everything is a Planche unlessit is a Maltese!

90
Still RingsGeneral Principles - V

• A Maltese is recognized as such when the
  shoulders and hips are at the level of the rings.
  Anything higher is recognized as a planche.
• The correct arm position on a Maltese is with the
  hands flat to the ground. If the hands are turned
  in, there is a deduction. If the body is resting
  on the arms, there is non recognition.

Vaulting - FIG

• Salto vaults must display a distinct opening
  phase in preparation for landing.
• A landing that is not prepared is a sign of an
  error in technique and will usually result in a
  technical execution deduction as well as a
  landing deduction.

107
Vaulting FIGMarking the mats

• The taped line marking the 1 meter distance must
  be placed in the safe landing area. Landing on
  the tape is still good.
• The taped lines marking the 1 meter wide corridor
  must be placed in the safe landing area. Landing
  on the tape is still good.
• The supplementary mat should be placed on the 20
  cm mat so that they are even nearest the table,
  and the marks line up.

• II. Upper arm on bars
• III. Hang under bars

• Apparatus height increased by 5 cm.

113
Parallel BarsGeneral Principles - I

• Bonus for connection only when skills follow in
  same direction.
• Only listed strength elements permitted
• Saltos and dismounts in side hang not permitted
• Regrasp in bent arm upper arm finish
• Start in bent arm start from support

114
Parallel BarsGeneral Principles - II

• Most skills defined to handstand
• Swinging skills to handstand need not be held
• There should be no pause between skills that
  receive connection bonus
• Skills in unusual grip skill in normal grip

115
Parallel BarsGeneral Principles - III

• Connections must be without pause to earn bonus
  points.
• Steps in the handstand between skills will
  prevent connection bonus
• Pauses of less than one second may prevent
  connection bonus but do not rise to the level of
  an A part between.

116
Parallel Bars ConnectionSkills which connect
eitherforward or backward

• Pirouette 1/1 turn or hop 1/1 turn
• Diamidov 1 1/4 1/4 turn
• (must pass thru dbl undergrip so as not to have
  an extra hand placement for connection)
• Peach HS with 1/2 turn to HS
• All can connect in either direction(Forward or
  Backward)

122
Parallel Bars Skill Definitions

• Giant with a 1/1 turn performed as follows Giant
  with 1/2 turn followed by immediate pirouette
  CA even if the direction is the same.
• Peach with 1/2 or 1/1 turn must turn on the way
  up to receive its value.

123
Parallel Bars Skill DefinitionsPresses and
Straddling

• Straddling on a press on Parallel Bars
• A Panel award difficulty
• B Panel deduct 0.2 (gratuitous straddling)
• This includes the basic press from support and
  the glide to stoop through on 1 bar to handstand
  (group IV box 3).

124
Parallel Bars Skill Definitions

• Swinging elements will not be combined with
  strength elements even when achieving the
  strength position immediately.
• Therefore, a Moy, directly to a Manna will be
  evaluated as two elements, and receive a B C
  value.
• Back uprise to handstand, followed by Brandstrom,
  is considered as two elements - B and C, II-22,
  and I-38.

• Unless otherwise indicated, hop elements have the
  same value as analogous elements performed
  without a hop. But different boxes.
• Elements fulfill the element group requirement
  for only those groups that the element is listed
  in. e.g. Elgrip endo is listed in 4, not 3.
