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

u[Areas of Judging Criteria: ]u

A.1 The Choreography Composition (Max. 4 Points)

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.


A.2 Aerobic Content (Max. 3 Points)

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.

A.3 Presentation and Musicality (Max. 3 Points)

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.
