SECTION 11 Uneven Bars
111.1 GENERALThe evaluation of the exercise begins with the take
off from the board or the mat. Additional supports under the board
(i.e.: an extra board)are not permitted.2MountsIf the gymnast on
her first attempt touched the springboard, the apparatus, or ran
underneath the apparatus: - Deduct -1.00- She must start her
exercise- No Value will be awarded for the MountA gymnast is
permitted a 2nd attempt to mount (with a penalty) if she has NOT
touched the springboard, the apparatus, or run underneath the
apparatus - Deduct -1.00; Value is given for the mountA 3rd attempt
is not permitted.D- panel judges will take the deduction from the
Final score.3Fall TimeDuring a fall from the apparatus, an
interruption of 30 seconds is allowed (the timing starts when the
gymnast is on her feet after the fall) before the gymnast must
remount the uneven bars to continue the exercise. The elapsed time
during the fall will be displayed in seconds on the scoreboard.A
warning signal (gong) will be communicated at 10 seconds,20 seconds
and again at the30 second time limit.If the gymnast does not
remount the uneven bars by the 30 second time limit, the exercise
is considered terminated.4
11.2 Content and Construction of the ExerciseThe maximum 8
highest difficulties including the dismount are awarded. 5

HB to LB
CR 2Flight element on the same bar - award 0.509Hop-grip changes
do not constitute flight; e.g. giant hop 1/1

11.4 Connection Value (CV) D - PanelFor CV all C/D elements must
have flight or min. turnConnection Value can be awarded for direct
connections. The CV will be added into the D-Score.Formulas for
direct connections follow:0.100.2015D (flight - same bar or LB to
HB) + C or more (on HB)(must be performed in this order)+ D or more

MountsCan fulfill CR 1 for flight from HB to LBElements
performed as mounts or vice versa can be performed within the
exercise but receive DV only once.1819With the direct connection of
3 or more elements, the repeated flight element on UB, or salto on
BB & FX must be directly connected. CV will be rewarded for all
connectionsExamples: Bkwd. Stalder 1/1 + Tkatchev + Tkatchev + Pak

Total CV + 0.40The flight element may be used:the first time as
the 2nd element of a connectionthe 2nd time as the connection of 2
same flight elementsthe 3rd time as the 1st element to begin a new

Dismount with fall
If the salto for the dismount has not begun (no initiation of
rotation) and a fall occurs, or
No attempt for DMT at all (landing on feet or falling after
landing on feet)
Example: Underswing with no rotation to land on back or feet
Evaluation:No CR (D- panel)NO DV - count 7 elements only (D-
panel)0.50 No attempt to dismount (E- panel)Fall 1.0 or Apply
landing deductions if no fall (E- panel)
28Dismount with fallIf the salto for the dismount has begun and
then a fall occurs:Example 2: Underswing salto fwd tuck with
failure to land feet first Evaluation:No CR (D- panel)No DV - count
7 elements only (D- panel)Fall 1.0 (E- panel)
29EXECUTION PRINCIPLES Intermediate swing (No DV) do not deduct
for leg faultsOnly deduct once for internediate swing even when
multiple swings occurWhen gymnast hits the bar and then falls only
deduct for the fallWhen gymnast hits the mat do not deduct for leg
faultsMaximum deduction for leg errors will be 0.50 on each element
( open legs 0.3+ bent legs 0.5 Maximum = 0.50)30Connection of
Forward Elements2 forward elements ( weilers)1st element will be
given DV even if the handstand is not reached (within 10 degrees of
vertical) provided the hips are extended. Body alignment deduction
will apply. 31More InfoDouble layout salto dismount: A stretched
position must be shown during the 1st salto.
Pak Salto amplitude deductions when hands first grasp LB angle:0
30 = o.o deduction30 45 = 0.10 deduction45 = 0.30 deduction
There is no devaluation of this element. The D value is kept
even with angle deductions.
32Falls Flight Elementswith grasp of both hands (momentary hang)
on the bar - DV is awardedwithout grasp of both hands on the bar -
No DV is awarded 33
