FR: BERT BORGMANN, ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER

RE: INFORMATION FOR THE 2017 GYMNASTICS SEASON

Before the competitive interscholastic season begins, check to make sure you have not scheduled

contests in excess of the game/contest limit for your sport. For gymnastics no student-athlete should

participate in more than 11 scheduled meets excluding regionals and state (CHSAA Handbook, Article 35,

by-law 3500). Teams that have played more contests than allowed in the Sport By-laws will be restricted

from state playoff activities, without appeal.

The new 2017-2018 school year brings a number of changes to the girls’ gymnastics season. First, with

the changes in classification philosophy, we now have balanced the numbers between 4A and 5A. There

are 15 4A schools and 18 5A schools. The changes made at last year’s meets seemed to work and will

continue this year. While the details of the team and individual qualifications is listed in more detail in this

bulletin, the 5A state team and all-around meet is on Thursday, November 2, and the 4A state meet and

all-around on Friday, November 3. Both will be based on 12-team rotations. The finals will be held as usual

on Saturday, November 4.

Finally, during the finals, all finalists must wear team-approved, team-colored leotards in Saturday’s

performances. No club or third-party leotards are allowed. If you have any questions, at all, please do not

hesitate to contact Bert Borgmann or Stacy Folmar.

While many coaches are aware of how many competitors may compete in each event, a reminder may be

needed. The CHSAA Gymnastics Committee has determined that 6 gymnasts may compete, but no more

than 5 per event shall count toward team scores and those 5 shall be identified by the coach prior to the

event competition.

The CHSAA Constitution and By-laws are the official rules of the association. This bulletin provides the

regulations for gymnastics competition, but never supersedes the regulations found in the Constitution and

By-laws. Each coach should receive an official copy of the CHSAA Constitution and By-laws. REQUEST A

COPY FROM YOUR PRINCIPAL. The By-laws should be read prior to the season. If questions arise or

interpretations are necessary, please contact Assistant Commissioner Bert Borgmann, the administrator

responsible for gymnastics.

We encourage the telephone calls on areas of eligibility be made by the school principal or designated

administrator; rulings on season policies can be made by the gymnastics committee.

Good luck in the upcoming season and I look forward to working with all of you again this year.

The roster serves as a beginning checkpoint for a policy that was approved by the Legislative Council that

to be eligible to compete in the regional and state meets. Waivers for injuries or other significant issues may

be filed with Bert Borgmann, CHSAA Assistant Commissioner, for consideration.

need a rule book contact Whitney at the CHSAA Office.

EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS

All competitive equipment shall meet rule specifications. If equipment does not meet specifications, the

CHSAA is to be notified. It is the responsibility of the principal to provide equipment for competition that

meets rule specifications. If the safety of the equipment is in question, the officials, in cooperation with the

involved school administrators, will determine whether the event will take place.

ENTRIES

Each school may enter a maximum of SIX GIRLS PER EVENT for Regional and State Competition. The events

Under CHSAA policy, each school is required to submit a roster listing its girls’ gymnastics roster to the CHSAA

SCORE SHEETS

As per the National Federation 2016-18 Rulebook, "A gymnast’s scores may be checked by a coach at the

scorer’s table without a deduction." (5-1-6, page 15). Inquiry(ies) must be in writing and must be

submitted to the meet referee or Chief Judge.

7

NOTE: Your official score sheet, signed by the CHIEF JUDGE, MUST accompany this qualifying sheet. This

sheet plus your SCORE CARD MUST be presented to the CHIEF JUDGE prior to each event.

The scoring table must receive score sheets first.

Coaches may review true scores of their schools’ gymnasts only.

The score sheets for that event may be reviewed for a maximum five (5) minutes. After five minutes, the

score sheets are to be collected. The coaches may not retain score sheets.

All inquiries or verbal intents to inquire must be submitted to the meet referee no later than 5 minutes after

all scores are recorded for that event.

ASSOCIATION CLARIFICATION ON RULE REGARDING "CLERICAL ERRORS"

The procedure for dealing with verified clerical errors in scores has been determined by the CHSAA office.

"Thirty minutes after the conclusion of the preliminary session, all results will be final."

Once the meet referee verifies the meet results and signs the official score sheet, the results are final for

the entire meet.

Each host school must:

1) send score sheets directly to the scoring table,

2) allow score sheets to be reviewed one event at a time,

3) arrange for a person to supervise the viewing and collect the score sheets after five minutes.

PHILOSOPHY OF ENTRY FEES

While tournament entry fees have become a necessary part of high school interscholastic athletics, it is

the philosophy of the Colorado High School Activities Association that entry fees should be used solely for

tournament and/or games expenses and in no manner serve as a fund raiser for any other athletic/activity

event in any school or individual school program.

combine all the 4A and 5A scores from the average of their 3 highest scores turned into the CHSAA. They

will put them in order according to the highest average to lowest. They will be ranked and placed

appropriately according to the chart above.

Once teams are placed in a region, then the committee will seed them according to their scores. The teams

with the highest scores will be drawn from rotations 9-10-11-12 by the committee. The next highest scores

will be drawn for rotations 5-6-7-8 and the lower teams’ scores rotations 1-2-3-4.

Rule 1: Clarifies that an extra swing between elements on uneven bars will break a directly connected series.

Rationale: Clarifies how “directly connected” is applied on uneven bars.

Rule 1: Specifies that any size of hand placement mat will be allowed provided it is manufactured by a gymnastics

company.

Rationale: Accommodates various sizes of manufactured hand placement mats.

Rule 1: Redefines an acro pass to require all elements with the exception of the round-off to be of value, to allow

backward acro elements in a two element pass, and to require either a back-to-back superior, a high superior, or an

advanced high superior to be included in a two acro pass.

Rationale: Redfines an acro pass to include language that is consistent with other events that require all elements

to be of value and defines a two-element pass.

Rationale: Clarifies that if the legs are bent in the support phase in vault, an Up to 0.2 deduction will be applied.
