JUDGING (2009-2012)
To receive a pre-competition preparation (normally two days) by the Superior Jury for the roles and responsibilities of the competition
To receive respect for office held during competition
Records routine performed in same way as DJs
Reports new elements and value given (to be reviewed by TC after competition) Deducts from total score for infringements according to the Code of Points. Checks execution and artistry scores for logic and approaches judge with significant deviation from expectation to justify and consider a change of mark (the judge is allowed to refuse) Checks the range of Execution and Artistic Marks for tolerance and controls resolution Releases Scores After allowing time for the SJ to intervene if necessary. (15 seconds) Once the scores are released to the public, no change is possible except in the case of incorrect score display or inquiry.
The CJP MUST intervene :
when: The marks of the panel are incorrect. when: When the deviation/tolerance between the scores exceeds the range specified in the COP when: The difficulty judges cannot agree the difficulty mark when: A Line judge has not seen a fault
The Chair of Judges Panel writes down the whole routine (as a difficulty judge) and is responsible for the control of the judges’ work as determined in the Technical Regulations.
The Chair of Judges Panel must report all new difficulty elements which have to be evaluated on sight to the Aerobic Gymnastics Committee, who will review and add the new difficulty elements to Appendix III, Element Pool & Values in the Code of Points once per year. The Chair of Judges Panel is responsible for making deductions for more than or less than 3 lifts, prohibited moves, height of pyramids in Trios and Groups, interruption/stop of performance, time infractions/faults, failing to appear on stage within 20 seconds, Walk-over, presentation in the competition area, attire problems and disciplinary penalties.
Lifts
Three lifts are required in a routine. Any missing or additional lift will result in a deduction of 0.5 each time. A lift is defined as: when one or more competitors is lifted, held, and/or carried off the ground, showing a precise shape. A lift may involve any combination of competitors. A lift may demonstrate different shapes and different formations but these must be performed at the same time. Only the lifted competitor(s) may use elements listed in the “Prohibited Moves” (Chapter 6, 6.1) except airborne moves without contact with the partners, held handstand (more than 2 seconds) and propelling. b[Deduction: 1.0 point for prohibited lift ]b In the case of a standing lift, i.e. one person lifting two persons, the lift cannot be higher than 2 persons standing one on top of the other. b[Deduction: 1.0 point each time ]b
Physical Interaction is allowed and does not fall under lifts.
Physical Interaction is defined as: the relationship between one or more competitors during a movement while in contact with the floor. Prohibited moves Prohibited moves are those listed in the Code of Points list of Prohibited moves. (see Chapter 6.1). Every prohibited move will result in a deduction of 1.0. Interruption of performance Interruption of performance is defined wh en a competitor stops executing movements for a period of time between 2 and 10 seconds and then continues. This will result in a 0.5 deduction each time. Stop of performance A stop of performance is defined when a competitor stops and fails to continue his routine within 10 seconds. The competitor receives a score of 0 (Zero). Late appearance on the competition area Should a competitor fail to appear on the competition area within 20 seconds after being announced, a deduction of 0.5 shall be made by the Chair of Judges Panel. Should a competitor fail to appear on the competition area within 60 seconds after being called, this will be deemed as a Walk-Over. Upon the announcement of such a Walk Over the competitor loses his right to participate in the category in question. Presentation in the competition area When called upon by the announcer, the competitors are expected to go directly to their starting position without any excessive posing and theatrical presentation. Any infraction will result in a deduction of 0.5. Time fault and time infraction The time begins with the first audible sound (cue sign excluded) and ends with the last audible sound. For MP, TR & GR - A time infraction is when a routine is too short or too long (1’35‘’ - 1’40’’ or 1’50’’ - 1’55’’) and will result in a deduction of 0.5. - A time fault is when a routine is less than 1’35’’ or more than 1’55’’. This will result in a deduction of 1.0. For Individual (IM & IW) - A time infraction is when a routine is too short or too long (1’25’’ - 1’20’’ or 1’35‘’ - 1’40’’) and will result in a deduction of 0.5. - A time fault is when a routine is less than 1’20’’ or more than 1’40’’. This will result in a deduction of 1.0.
Attire problems
Incorrect attire refers to violation of Chap. 2 / 2.3 A (Profile) which will give a deduction of 0.2 point each time for different criteria. Wrong attire is when a competitor appears on stage with a totally different attire (other than described in Chap. 2 / 2.3 B - Attire) and will result in a deduction of 2.0 points. Disciplinary penalties A warning or disqualification is declared in accordance with the Code of Points section on disciplinary penalties. Themes in contravention of the Olympic Charter and Code of Ethics will receive a deduction of 2.0 points. 
The line faults are checked by the Line Judges placed diagonally in 2 of the 4 corners of the stage.
Each judge is responsible for two lines. The tape around the stage is part of the competition area, therefore touching the tape is allowed. However, should any body part touch the area outside the tape a deduction will be made. Deductions for a limb moving in the air outside the line will not be made. Line judges will use a red flag to show when a competitor steps outside the line.
Touching the area outside the tape by any competitor : each time 0.1

Line Judge
The Difficulty Judges record the whole routine (all difficulty elements), using the official FIG shorthand. They count the number of difficulty elements. They give a deduction for every difficulty element performed more than the 12 (MP, TR, GR) or 10 (IM, IW) required.
They give a difficulty value of 0.0 – 1.0 for the first 12 (MP, TR, GR) or 10 (IM, IW) difficulty elements performed and an extra 0.1 point for each combination, inside the maximum allowed. They evaluate new difficulty elements on sight (difficulty elements not listed in Appendix II and III and the new difficulty elements list). They give deductions for missing groups of the element pool, considering all of the first 12 (MP, TR, GR) or 10 (IM, IW) difficulty elements performed. They give deductions for more than 6 (MP, TR, GR) or 5 (IM, IW) difficulty elements on the floor, considering all of the first 12 or 10 difficulty lements performed. They give deductions for more than 2 difficulty elements landing in push up position and landing in splits, considering all of the first 12 or 10 difficulty elements performed. They give deductions for repetitions, considering the total number of elements allowed: the first 12 (MP, TR, GR) or 10 (IM, IW) difficulty elements performed. The two judges having considered all the previous directives should then compare their scores and deductions to ensure that they are in agreement and then send their scores. In the case of an irreconcilable difference, the scores will be averaged. They have to make a written report of all new difficulty elements evaluated on sight to the Chair of Judges Panel at the conclusion of the competition.
Writing down and counting the difficulty elements
All difficulty elements performed must be written down using the FIG shorthand shown in Appendix III, (Difficulty Tables / Element Pool and Values), irrespective of whether or not the minimum requirements as described in App. II are met. At Senior International events, difficulty elements with the value of 0.1 and 0.2 will not be written down and counted. Evaluating the difficulty elements The value is set according to Appendix III, (Difficulty Tables / Element Pool and Values) provided the element meets the minimum requirements as stated in Appendix II, (Guide to Judging Execution and Difficulty). A value is given only to the first 12 (MP, TR, GR) or 10 (IM, IW) difficulty elements performed. Difficulty elements not meeting the minimum requirements and difficulty elements with a fall will receive a value of 0.0, New difficulty elements are evaluated on sight, but the maximum value that can be given is 0.3. For the evaluation of the difficulty elements in Mixed Pairs, Trios and Groups, see also chapter 3. – 3.1, C. Difficulty and «repetition of difficulty elements» are described below. The difficulty judges evaluate each difficulty element separately. Combination of 2 elements Two elements, from the 12 or 10 chosen elements, can be combined directly without any stop, hesitation or transition. The 2 elements may be from the same or different groups, but must be from different families. They will be counted as 2 elements. These 2 elements cannot be repeated. To receive the additional value of 0.1 point, these 2 elements must meet the minimum requirements. An element to be combined has to have a number and a value in the difficulty table. All competitors (MP, TR, GR) must perform the same combination of 2 elements at the same time.
More than 12 (MP, TR, GR) or 10 (IM, IW) difficulty elements
For every difficulty element performed over the required 12 or 10 difficulty elements, a deduction will be made. All difficulty elements peformed, even if they receive a 0.0 value, will be counted in the total number. More than 6 (MP, TR, GR) or 5 (IM, IW) difficulty elements on the floor Difficulty elements on the floor are difficulty elements of all groups (A, B, C, D) which are performed or land on the floor (e.g. push-up, wenson and split positions, straddle jump to PU). More than 2 difficulty elements in landing to push up and 2 difficulty elements landing in splits position Difficulty elements in landing to push up position or in split position are all difficulty elements from Group C Jumps & leaps which land into a push up or splits position. Repetition of an element All difficulty elements performed must be from different families (eg. L-support, Straddle support, for Jumps and leaps : Straddle family, Pike family, Cossack family, Gainer, …, etc). For GROUPS: If the competitors perform up to two different difficulty elements at the same time or consecutively, the element of the lowest value will receive the difficulty score. If the competitors perform up to two different difficulty elements at the same time or consecutively and then consecutively repeat the same 2 difficulty elements but with different members of the group, this will not be considered as a repetition and the group will be credited for both difficulty elements. Example: Competitors 1,2 and 3 perform a straddle jump and competitors 4, 5 and 6 perform a free fall. Then immediately, 1,2,3 perform a free fall and 4,5, and 6 a straddle jump.
Missing groups of the element pool
A deduction will be made for each missing group of the 4 groups of the element pool. Only the first 12 or 10 difficulty elements written down will be considered. All elements with 0 value and all combinations of 2 elements are not counted toward the group. Difficulty elements in Lifts and Physical Interactions All difficulty elements performed while in a lift, will not be written down and counted. If in Mixed Pairs, Trios and Groups, athletes perform a difficulty element while touching or during physical interaction with another competitor, the difficulty element will NOT be counted.
Deductions:
More than 12 or 10 difficulty elements => per additional element 1.0 More than 6 or 5 difficulty elements on the floor => per additional element 1.0 More than 2 difficulty elements in landing to push up and / or to split position => per additional element 1.0 Repetition of an element => per element 1.0 Missing element groups => per missing group 1.0
Difficulty elements will get a value according to their difficulty level. (see Appendix III, Difficulty Tables / Element Pool & Values)
All difficulty elements and combinations that have received a value will be added together and the total will be divided by : - 2 points for IM, IW, MP, TR (men) and GR (men) - 1,9 point for TR (women or mixed) and GR (women or mixed) This results in the difficulty score. The score is therefore given in 3 decimal points. All deductions made are added together. The total will be divided by 2, resulting in the deductions of the difficulty judges. The deductions are therefore given to two decimal points.
The judging of Execution is based on the following:
1. Technical Skill 2. Synchronization Criteria and Deductions
The ability to demonstrate movements with maximum precision. (See also Appendix II, Guide to Judging)
Physical Capacities An excellent routine demonstrates perfect posture and alignment, active and passive flexibility, strength, power and muscular endurance. a) Form, Posture and Alignment : The ability to maintain correct posture and body alignment - natural spine alignments - (on the floor, on the surface and in the air or when landing) while performing the difficulty elements : as well as the complex Aerobic steps and Aerobic movement patterns and transitions. Position and stabilisation of the torso, lower back, pelvis and contraction of the abdominal muscles. Position of the upper body, carriage of the neck, shoulders and head relative to the spine. Positioning of the feet relative to the ankles, knees and hip joint. Correct alignment of all joints. b) Precision Precision means : Each movement has a clear start and finish position. Each phase of the movement has to demonstrate perfect control. Proper balance must be shown in difficulty elements, transitions, take-off, landings and aerobic movement patterns. c) Strength, Power, Muscular endurance The ability to demonstrate strength, explosive power and sustained intensity throughout the routine. Amplitude - the use of explosive power in jumps, leaps and pliometric difficulty elements.
SYNCHRONIZATION for Mixed Pairs, Trios and Groups is the ability to execute all movements as a unit.
u[DEDUCTIONS]u Deductions are made for every error as follows: small error each time 0.1 medium error each time 0.2 large error each time 0.3 unacceptable execution or fall each time 0.5 Maximum deduction for an element 0.5 point Maximum deduction for Synchronisation for the whole routine 1.0 point
A small error (0.1 pt) is defined as a small deviation from perfect execution.
A medium error (0.2 pt) is defined as a significant deviation from perfect execution. A large error (0.3 pt) is defined as a major deviation from perfect execution. Unacceptable execution (0.5 pt) is defined as when no requirements have been met for execution. A fall is defined as: where one or more parts of the body (aside from the perfect execution) touch the floor with a lack of control (e.g. in 1 arm push-up, chest and/or one knee touches the floor or in L-support, a heel and/or a buttock touches the floor). SCORING Execution is scored according to negative judging i.e. starting from 10.0 and subtracting points for errors.

Execution
The Artistic judge evaluates the CHOREOGRAPHY (Total 10 points) of the routine based on:
1. The Choreography Composition (Max. 4 points) 2. The Aerobic Content (Max. 3 points) 3. Presentation and Musicality (Max. 3 points) Artistic is scored according to a positive judging maximum of 10.0 points using a scale with increments of 0.1. SCALE: Excellent 1.0 Very Good 0.8 – 0.9 Good 0.6 – 0.7 Satisfactory 0.4 – 0.5 Poor 0.0 – 0.3 u[Areas of Judging Criteria: ]u
In the choreography composition, the judges evaluate WHAT, HOW and WHERE the following are made:
- Aerobic movement patterns - Difficulty Elements - Transitions and linking - Lifts (MP/TR/GR) - Partnership (MP/TR/GR) a) The dynamism and fluency of the whole routine b) The complexity and creativity level of these movements (except for sequences of AMP that will be evaluated in aerobic content and the Difficulty elements already have a value in the element pool and are evaluated by difficulty judges) c) The selection of the movements showing Variety (except for sequences of AMP that will be evaluated in aerobic content and for the Difficulty Elements) d) The Effective use of the competition space (floor-work, standing, airborne, whole horizontal area) and the placement of all these movements throughout the routine.
In the Aerobic Content, the judges evaluate HOW the Sequences of Aerobic movement patterns are made. AMP must include many variations of steps with arm movements, utilizing basic steps to produce complex combinations with a high level of body coordination and must be recognizable as continuous movement patterns.
a) The Variety of the Aerobic Movement Patterns b) The Complexity and creativity level of the Aerobic Movement Patterns. c) The Amount and balance of the Continuous Movements Patterns.
The judges evaluate the overall presentation created by the competitor(s) throughout their routine and the use of music by the performers which should reflect and provide the main characteristics of aerobic gymnastics.
a) Presentation: a1. Competitor(s) must give a clean athletic impression with a high quality of movements (clear and sharp). a2. Competitor(s) must show physical energy and showmanship reaching the audience with his/her physical capacities, skills, charisma, personality, magnetism, presence, body language without theatrical interpretation, in a natural way. It is not only to smile during the routine, it is to transmit with the movements, the body language this energy and showmanship. a3. Competitor(s) must show self-confidence with genuine and pleasant natural facial expressions (no artificial or exaggerated facial expressions), without shouting/singing. b) The construction of music adapted for Aerobic Gymnastics should reflect and provide the main characteristics of aerobic gymnastics. c) The use of music in choreography utilizes the idea given by the music. All movements must fit perfectly with the chosen music and stay in time with beats / phrases (TIMING). In the creative process, the choreographer creates the movements to that specific music and for that specific competitor/s.
