These are the routines that have been introduced with the new competition structure from October 2008. With the exception of FIG A there will only be two age groups (Under 15 and Over 15). The routines will be the same for both age groups at each level. Although regions may use different age groups for ease of competition, promotion and relegation in Regional D and National C, will only occur from rankings within these two age groups. (The East Midlands have not yet decided on age groups for the Club and lower Regional levels) A competition logbook is available to club secretaries and coaches via the bg-coaches website. It is planned to make the competitions logbook compulsory in due course and it is advised that you begin to implement the competition logbook immediately. Contrary to earlier assurances, it has now been established that a 0.3 deduction will be made for anyone failing to perform an 'armset' at the start of a routine. Until such time that the competition log books have become mandatory and where available, competitors will be given the choice of two compulsory routines. Irrespective of which routine is performed, all those within a specific category will be ranked together. | The old grading routines can still be found by clicking here |
