Region V ….PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER IN 2004
 

Region V All Purpose Entry Form
 

In the March Technique magazine, there is a list of new FIG Elements with the values for JO listed on the right side of the chart. Two errors have been noted on that document. The mistakes were as follows:

Bars: 8.403 was listed as a "C" for Elite and it should be a "D"

Floor: Split jump with 11/2 turn 1.302 for FIG should be listed for JO as 1.402 - "D"

The split jump 11/2 was listed correctly in the JO Element Supplement and the new symbol charts.

Elite NEWS:

Rule change effective at the American Classic/Challenge, March 22-24, 2002:

1.) The hold element on Balance Beam is no longer a Special Requirement. (However, you will not be penalized if you do a hold element.)

2.) The low bar "B" element on Uneven Bars is no longer a Special Requirement. (However, you will not be penalized if you do a "B" element on the low bars.)

All other changes from the FIG will take effect May 1, 2002. The State Value remains at 8.80. There is still no word on lowering the qualification score requirement. fro Classics.
