B. EXECUTION


Function

The judging of Execution is based on the following:
1. Technical Skill
2. Synchronization

Criteria and Deductions

1. TECHNICAL SKILL

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.

2. SYNCHRONIZATION (- 0.1 point each time)

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.
