3.1 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS


A. ARTISTIC

To meet the artistic requirements, a routine and its choreography must demonstrate creativity and sports specific content. It should also show a variety of movements and a high degree of correlation between the music, movements and the competitors expression.

Themes showing violence and racism, as well as those with religious and sexual connotations, are not in keeping with the Olympic ideals and the FIG’s code of ethics.

For Mixed Pairs, Trios and Groups, three lifts are required in the routine. This may include the opening and ending.

B. EXECUTION

All movements must be performed with perfect execution.

C. DIFFICULTY

Individuals, Mixed Pairs,Trios and Groups:

The routine must show a balance between airborne, standing and floor-work difficulty elements.

A maximum of 12 difficulty elements (MP, TR, GR) or 10 difficulty elements (IM, IW) must be performed by each competitor. Using only the 12 or 10 chosen elements, 2 elements can be combined from the same or different groups, but from different families.

An element which does not meet a minimum requirement is also counted in the 12 or 10 difficulty elements, will receive 0.0 pt value and will not count for the group.

To receive a difficulty value for each group, all the competitors must perform one element from each group without combination.

The difficulty score is the total value of the difficulty elements performed (max 12 for MP, TR, GR and max 10 for IM & IW) plus the value of all combinations.

All difficulty elements performed must be from different families.

A maximum of 6 difficulty elements (MP, TR, GR) or a maximum of 5 difficulty elements (IM, IW) on the floor is allowed including landing on the floor in split and in push up position.

A maximum of 2 difficulty elements from Group C are allowed landing in push up position and a maximum of 2 difficulty elements from group C are allowed landing in split position.

Mixed Pairs and Trios:
To receive a difficulty value, all competitors must perform the same element at the same time or consecutively, in the same or different directions.

Groups:
At least one element from each group of the element pool must be included.

In order to receive a difficulty value for these four difficulty elements, all competitors of the group must perform the same element at the same time or consecutively, in the same or different directions.

In order to receive a difficulty value for the remaining difficulty elements, the competitors may perform up to two different difficulty elements at the same time or consecutively. Any combination of competitors may perform these two different difficulty elements. (e.g. 1-5, 2-4, 3-3)
