5. Changes to Code of Points and Technical Regulations
Code of Points
A few more changes (housekeeping) were proposed to the Code of Points for
clarification and will be explained at the Intercontinental course and then
published.
Clarification in Tumbling that the deduction 21.4.8 "Ending a complete pass on
the tumbling track as per §17.3. 0.2 pts", is not part of landing. Therefore this
deduction is additional.
Norms
We looked at trying to find better position for judges. This is a problem where the
judges in tumbling do not have the best position in order to appreciate the
exercises. It was observed that often the score coming from the FIG jury
standing on a podium were always higher than the score from the actual panel.
The proposal is to have the judges to be on a podium (50 cm) from a distance of
at least 10m if possible. The TC is of the opinion, that this will also help the
organizers to have a clear defined competition area. Here is a proposed layout
for next World Championships where a podium will need to be created for TUM
and DMT judges.

Technical Regulations
Tie breaking rule needs to be added to cover the second round of qualification.
A proposal was already sent way back in March and passed the Council meeting
in May with this section but it has not been included in the last version of the
Technical Regulations.
