By John ATKINSON - President FIG Aerobic Gymnastics Committee


The FIG Aerobic Gymnastics Technical Committee is pleased to provide this final Code of Points 2009 – 2012 to the FIG EC and the FIG Members Federations, proposed for implementation January 1st 2009.

The Code of Points has taken into account suggestions made by

b. FIG Member Federations
c. IAF / ANAC.

The most important changes are reflected in:

• The roles, responsabilities and rights of the Superior Jury, Chair of Judges panel, Difficulty Judges and Judges were reviewed and approved by the FIG Executive, May 2007
• Execution simplified with accompanying illustrated tables of deductions.
• Written description in Appendix II reviewed and corrected
• Minimum requirements reviewed and some Difficulty values readjusted
• Categories IM & IW: length of exercise 1’30” and 10 difficulty elements
• Coefficient for Trios and Groups: 1.9 point for Women and Mixed categories, 2.0 points for Men categories
• Floor area: 7m X 7m for Individual and 10 m X 10m for MP, TR and GR
