Club Cup Rules

Failure to complete a prescribed exercise as published above will result in an interruption to the exercise (e.g. for performing an incorrect element). The maximum mark will be determined according to the number of correct, complete elements performed.

Landing on one foot at the end of an exercise will be deemed as an interruption, therefore that move will not be counted and the gymnasts will lose 1 mark from execution and the difficulty of the element.

Arms should come into the chest on a half turn jump (as a final skill). Failure to do this will result in a technical error of 0.1 for arm position from the execution judges.

Where the half turn is ‘mid exercise, arms should go overhead. Failure to do this will result in a technical error of 0.1 for arm position from the execution judges.

Please note the changes in some of the levels, (e.g. club 5 exercise 1 is now a continued tumble and should not have any stops or pauses in).

Qualification to the Club Cup Championships should be based on one or more objective, predetermined criteria. It is for the regions to determine their qualifying criteria and the TC would suggest a minimum execution score of 46.2 for three exercises at one of the qualifying events.

There are no nationally prescribed qualification criteria and this is to allow regions appropriate flexibility to meet their needs. These technical requirements may also be used for Club competitions.
