Women'S National & USAG Brevet Judge's Courses
Note From Connie Maloney, Women's Jr. Olympic Program Director
This criteria must be met in order to be invited to the National Judges' Course
Technical Clarification for Uneven Bars:
This is in reference to the following changes made to the value of the 4.204 [long swing forward with 1/2 turn and flight over LB hang on LB - Bail], it is changed to a "C" whenever it is performed immediately following a D or E release element.
Question: Does this rule apply to Level 9's as Level 9 D's are awarded C's? Would this be a "C+C combination or would it be a C+B?
Answer from WTC: We have always had the philosophy that a Level 9 should not have an advantage by doing D skills. Since we do not recognize D's at Level 9 then the release is only considered a C, therefore the overshoot is only a B. She would receive credit for doing a C+B with no bonus.

Non-U.S. citizens who want to compete in gymnastics in the United States
To comply with FIG rules, a gymnast who is living and training in the United States but is not a U.S. citizen must acquire written approval from the gymnastics federation from his/her respective native country (for which he/she holds a passport) before he/she may compete in competitions held in the United States. More information here.
Updated Ruling for competitors who are non-citizens living and training in the US
Effective immediately, non-citizen athletes who meet the above criteria will be eligible to compete and receive awards for all USA Gymnastics Junior Olympic sanctioned events including State, Regional, East/West and JO Nationals.
If a non-citizen athlete places in the top four (4) AA at JO Nationals, she will receive the award for her All-Around placement, however; she is not eligible to become a member of the US JO National Team. In this instance, the next US citizen in rank order will be placed on the JO National Team.
