6. Intercontinental Judges Course in Bratislava (SVK)
TC members will make presentations of 90 minutes for their apparatus. Special attention needs to
be placed on changes occurring in the new Code of Points. The examinations will be held in a
different hotel than the presentations due to room size. All TC members are instructed to send the
MTC president 5 questions for their apparatus and 10 elements to be used on the theory
examination. The MTC president has also requested Liping HUANG to collect 10 D and 10 E
exercises (videos and evaluations) from each TC member to compile practice exercises for all
candidates to use for personal practice during the course. Please bring these routines to the FIG
Congress in Cancun (MEX) for collection. Liping Huang will also compile a Windows PowerPoint
and Mac Keynotes presentations for all apparatus to ensure each future expert has no problem
presenting the material.
Examination day will be December 8
th
, while allowing enough time to present results on the same
day. The practical examination will be from 09:00 to 12:00 and the theory examination from 14:00-
15:00. The Theory examination will have the number of options for answers reduced to three.
Some important items to check with the organizers: internet speed, projector quality, darkness of
room, printers, copiers, and hotel rooms for TC members. Sawao KATO presented a sample of the
practical examination video for review.
Note:
All federations requesting international courses should send the request to the FIG
office with copy to the MTC President.

the sole of the foot. Landing on the side or top of the foot does not meet the requirement.
Section 10 Vault

this deduction. This deduction will be treated as a neutral deduction and will be shown on
the screen the same way as line/time deductions.
-0.50 deduction for more than 25 meters running distance. It was confirmed that both
disciplines will apply this deduction.
Flash number of intended vault. Both TCs confirmed no deduction will be applied for not
