1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

The goal of the Sport Canada Athlete Assistance Program (AAP) is to contribute toward improved Canadian performances at major international sporting events such as the Olympic/Paralympic Games and World Championships. To this end, the AAP identifies and provides funding directly to athletes who have already met or demonstrate the potential to meet the Senior National and International criteria. The Athlete Assistance Program has three (3) objectives: - to financially support Canadian athletes identified by National Sport Organizations (NSOs) using criteria

established by Sport Canada as performing at or having the greatest potential to achieve a top-12 team result or a top-8 individual result at Olympic/Paralympic Games and World Championships;

- to assist Canada’s carded athletes in preparing to engage in full or part-time career activities; and - to enable Canada’s carded athletes to participate in year-round national training and competition regimes to

further their athletic goals. Under the AAP, eligible athletes have access to the following benefits: - Living and training allowance - Tuition and deferred tuition support - Supplement support - More information on the AAP may be found at

http://canada.pch.gc.ca/eng/1414514343755/1414514385181 The AAP has four levels of cards, which will provide a monthly living and training allowance as follows:

Card Type Monthly Allowance Annual Value

Senior International Card (SR1/SR2) $1,765 $21,180

First Year Senior National Card (C1) $1,060 $12,720

Developmental “D” Card (Junior) $1,060 (minimum 4 months)

Up to $12,720

Sport Canada has allocated $148,260.00 to Men’s Artistic Gymnastics (MAG). Sport Canada may, at any time, adjust the carding quota. If they do so, GCG reserves the right to amend the carding criteria so that it may be applied fairly and correctly. The carding cycle will take place from September 1, 2019 to August 31, 2020, and the nominations will be based on results obtained between July 1, 2018 and August 11, 2019 (results cycle).

https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/funding/athlete-assistance.html

3.0 NON-ELIGIBILITY

An athlete is not eligible for “carded athlete” status if he is competing for an American University or other country. Athletes are not eligible if they have not met the criteria set out in Section 2.0.

4.0 APPLICATION AND DECISION-MAKING PROCESS

The selection of athletes to be nominated for carding will be the responsibility of the MAG Carding Working Group (CWG). The Working Group will be comprised of: - High Performance Director (HPD) - MAG Program Manager (PM) - MAG National Team Head Coach (NTHC) - Men’s Program Committee (MPC) appointed coach or judge representative, who is currently working with

the National Team

National team (NT) coaches with athletes being considered for the AAP will not be eligible for inclusion on the CWG due to a conflict of interest, but they may be present to provide information to the CWG. Nominations will be based on the expert assessment of the CWG. The HPD, National Team Head Coach, and Program Manager are responsible for presenting the nominations to Sport Canada for the AAP. All nominated athletes will be required to submit to Gymnastics Canada the Sport Canada AAP Application and complete the CCES online anti-doping education program’s two courses: “True Sport Clean” and “Sport Canada - Athlete Assistance Program” at the beginning of each new carding cycle. Failure to do so will result in AAP payments being kept on hold until requirement is met.

5.0 PRIORITIZATION AND SELECTION PROCESS

AAP Carding will be allocated in priority order as listed below until the carding quota is exhausted. A maximum total of $148,260.00 is available. There must be at least four months worth of funding available to allocate a partial card.

https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/funding/athlete-assistance.html

PRIORITY ONE: SPORT CANADA SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CRITERIA (SR1/SR2 CARDS)

Athletes who met the international standards at the 2018 World Championships set by Sport Canada and GCG; specifically:

- Athlete is a competing member of a team that ranked in the top-8 after the qualification rounds (C-I) and qualified to the team final or;

- Athlete ranks in the top-8 in the all-around final (C-II) or; - Athlete ranks, on one apparatus, in the top-8 counting two entries per country after the qualification

rounds (C-I) or; athlete competed in any apparatus final (participation of 8 athletes). Athletes who qualify under the Senior International criteria are eligible for two years of AAP support, with the card for the first year referred to as a SR1 card and the card for the second year referred to as a SR2 card. An athlete who meets the international criteria described above will be funded as a SR1 card even if it is the first time they are carded.

PRIORITY TWO: SENIOR NATIONAL CRITERIA (SR/C1)

Senior athletes who are eligible for carding and have accumulated points set out in the Senior Points Charts will be ranked in the Athlete Ranking List by their cumulative point total. These athletes will be compared against the following targeted objectives that must be achieved at either Elite Canada, Canadian Championships, Level A, or Level B international competitions (see section 6.0 below) beginning with the best ranked athlete. A maximum of seven SR/C1 cards may be allocated for athletes who meet Priority Two. For the purpose of this document, “two different competitions” will be characterized as two completely separate events with different titles, dates, and competitors/judges. For example, Pan Am Championships and Pan Am Games are considered two different competitions. The all-around finals and apparatus finals at Canadian Championships are considered part of the same competition. 2.1 Objective 1: A maximum of seven SR/C1 cards may be allocated to athletes who achieve an all-around score of 82.0 or higher at a minimum of two different competitions throughout the results cycle. 2.2 Objective 2: A maximum of one SR/C1 card may be allocated to an athlete (excluding those who met objective 1) who has the potential to qualify to the Olympic Games through the Apparatus World Cup circuit. In order to attain this card an athlete must win a medal by placing in the top three in any two FIG World Cup finals on at least one apparatus throughout the results cycle. If the card quota is not exhausted after identifying athletes who have met either objective 1 or 2, then objective 3 will be applied to the Athlete Ranking List. 2.3 Objective 3: A maximum of seven SR/C1 cards may be allocated to athletes (excluding those who met objective 1 or 2) who achieve a final score of 14.0 or greater on a minimum of three apparatus within the same day of competition at a minimum of two different competitions. These scores must be achieved on the same apparatus at both competitions.

- For vault, scores are compared with first (team) vaults only and must have a minimum 5.2 Start Value. Priorities Three and Four will be considered if there are funds remaining following Priority Two.


6

PRIORITY THREE: INJURY CARD

At the discretion of the CWG, up to one C1/SR card may be allocated based on injury card status, on the condition that there are carding funds remaining. Up to one senior carded athlete, who at the end of the results cycle has not achieved the standard required for renewal of carding status due to health-related reasons, may be considered for re-nomination by the CWG for an injury card as set out in section 7.0.

PRIORITY FOUR: SENIOR NATIONAL ATHLETES WHO HAVE NOT MET THE TARGETED OBJECTIVES

On the basis that carding funds are remaining, a maximum of seven SR/C1 cards may be allocated to senior athletes who are ranked in the Athlete Ranking List by their cumulative point total, but who have not met any of the objectives in Priority Two. Allocation will begin with the best ranked athlete who has not already been nominated and may contribute to the team’s qualification to Tokyo 2020 as determined by the CWG. If funds are remaining following the priorities for SR/C1 cards, then Priority Five will be considered for developmental cards.

PRIORITY FIVE: DEVELOPMENT CARDS FOR JUNIOR ATHLETES

Development Cards are intended to support the developmental needs of younger athletes who clearly demonstrate the potential to achieve the Senior National card criteria but are not yet age eligible to meet the Senior National card criteria. Should funding become available for a “D” card it will be allocated in priority order beginning with the best ranked athletes who have earned points from the Junior Points Charts and are ranked on the Athlete Ranking List. The decision-making process for a “D” card will be the responsibility of the CWG.

PRIORITY SIX: ALLOCATION OF ADDITIONAL FUNDING THAT BECOMES AVAILABLE

If additional quota funding becomes available due to unforeseen circumstances, funding will be allocated in priority order:

1. Additional funding to any partially funded athletes so that they may receive a full card 2. The highest ranked non-carded Junior athlete from the Junior Ranking List

Carded athlete status and all related benefits, including monthly stipend, would most likely be available for less than a 12-month period. A minimum of four months of carding support must be available in order for GCG to nominate an athlete.

6.0 POINT SYSTEM FOR SENIOR AND JUNIOR RANKING LISTS

As a country, Canada needs to focus on being competitive with the top-12 teams in the world. Targeted expectations for NT athletes have been set out and circulated by the NTHC (Appendix 1). These targets are necessary if Canada wants to qualify as a team for the Olympic Games in 2020. In order to encourage this focus throughout the program, the carding points have been established to reward: - Achieved results as determined by competition scores; an athlete’s D scores and final scores obtained in

domestic and/or international competitions


7

The cumulative points charts will be used to rank eligible NT athletes in the Junior and Senior categories. Its purpose is to show achieved performance results throughout the competition season. Points can be accumulated from domestic competitions (Elite Canada and Canadian Championships) and specified international competitions. International competitions have been divided into two levels. An unlimited amount of Level A competitions, and a maximum of one level B competition may be used to accumulate points. In the case of an athlete having attended more than the maximum number of events, the competitions with the most overall points would be used. Level A Competitions - Olympic Games, World Championships, World Cups CI & CII, Pan American Games, Commonwealth Games; - All days of competition will have the potential to contribute points; - Reserve athletes named to a Level A competition (except World Championships as explained below) will be

awarded points equal to the lowest points accumulated by any team member. If the lowest point total earned by a team member is zero, then the reserve will earn zero points.

Level B Competitions - World Challenge Cups, Pacific Rim Championships, Pan American Championships, UCIC, FISU Games; - International competitions for assigned NT members that are listed in the MAG program calendar; - NCAA National Championships for NCAA NT athletes; - All days of competition will have the potential to contribute points, except for NCAA Championships. For

NCAA Championships, athletes may use only their best score from Day 1 or Day 2 per apparatus and all-around to count towards carding points.

Additional competitions may be identified by Gymnastics Canada and communicated to NT coaches and Sport Canada at least 2 months in advance of the competition. For Juniors, all GCG assigned or approved international competitions can be used to accumulate points. No points will be awarded for competitions that are not assigned or approved by the NTHC.

6.1 ACCUMULATION OF POINTS

Points are awarded only for the respective carding cycle. An athlete has no points at the beginning of the period during which points are accumulated (results cycle): July 1, 2018 to August 11, 2019. Senior points will be accumulated from the Senior Points Charts and 2018 World Championships Rankings. Junior points will be accumulated from the Junior Points Charts. Senior athletes who participate at the 2018 World Championships will receive carding points based on the following rankings from qualifications as a team, on an apparatus, or in the all-around: Team Ranking Individual Event/All Around Ranking 1-8: 50 points 1-8 : 50 points 9-12: 25 points 9-12 : 25 points 13-15: 15 points 13-24: 15 points


8

The travelling reserve athlete for World Championships will only be awarded team ranking points if the team finishes in the top 15, but will not receive individual event/AA ranking points. They will, however, receive ranking points (from Schedule A) equal to the lowest point total accumulated by any team member. This point total could be zero.

6.2 RANKING LIST

The Athlete Ranking List will determine the final ranking of athletes as determined by the CWG based off results from the cumulative points calculations. This list will be provided to Sport Canada.

7.0 INJURY CARD

Carding support will be set aside until December 1, 2019 for an athlete who is eligible under section 2.0 and has met the conditions outlined below. If they have not been met, the athlete(s) will no longer be eligible for nomination for carding. It is the responsibility of the athlete and his coach to meet the conditions under 7.1 listed below even if there is no reminder sent by GCG.

7.1 CONDITIONS FOR INJURY CARD STATUS

The athlete may be nominated for carding if all of the following conditions have been met:

1. Was previously carded at a SR1/SR2, SR, C1, or D level in the most recent carding cycle;

2. The injury or illness was supported by a medical report and a physician’s documentation submitted to the Program Manager no later than September 1, 2019. The documentation must state: - the date the injury was incurred; - the nature of the injury, and whether or not this is an acute or chronic injury; - that the athlete could not compete at the event or finish the competition; - the rehabilitation protocol, the amount of training the athlete can do in the next 12 weeks, the

expected date for a) full recovery and b) return to full training; - the date that the certificate was issued.

GCG reserves the right to have the athlete examined by a physician appointed by GCG, at the expense of the athlete.

3. The athlete has competed in at least one GCG assigned competition, Elite Canada or Canadian Championships within the past two years.

4. The most recent competition results for the athlete (within two years) should demonstrate the athlete

was competing at a level consistent with athletes already nominated for a card in this period.

5. The coach of the athlete has confirmed in writing to GCG that the gymnast should be reviewed under the injury card criteria and has submitted to the NTHC the modified training program (content, skills, and load) that the athlete will do in September, October, and November.

6. The coach has submitted to the NTHC by the 1st of December a report stating the progress made

towards complete rehabilitation and indicating the training program that the athlete has followed since the previous report.


9

7. The NTHC may require the athlete to take part in a test event four months after the injury to confirm

that the athlete has returned to at least 60% of training (based on 21-28 hrs. per week as per NT Agreement)

8. If the athlete has not been able to return to full training and competition within six (6) months of the

start of the carding cycle, the NTHC will review the card with the possibility of extension or recommendation to withdraw the card being made to Sport Canada.

7.2 EXTENSION OF VERIFICATION PERIOD

If an athlete has not met all the conditions above by December 1, 2019 but has shown significant progress towards full recovery from the injury or illness as assessed by the NTHC, he may be given up to March 1, 2020 to meet the conditions. The decision and condition attached to the extension of the deadline will be made by the NTHC.

8. 0 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF YEARS AT THE SENIOR (SR) CARD LEVEL

An athlete is expected to improve each year to maintain a Senior card based on national criteria and to eventually achieve the international criteria. A five-year SR/C1 carded athlete must show the potential to achieve the international criteria and/or be a contributing member of the team towards Olympic qualification. A five-year SR/C1 carded athlete must have achieved one of the stated objectives in Priority Two for an SR/C1 card in order to be re-nominated for carding. In addition to achieving an objective from Priority Two, the following factors will also be taken into consideration:

- Ability to contribute to Olympic qualification - Past results from domestic and international competitions - Health and training environment of the athlete

Athletes must compete in at least one FIG approved international competition. All results will be tracked and evaluated. The CWG has the responsibility to determine whether an athlete carded for five or more years will be submitted for consideration to Sport Canada.

9.0 DE-CARDING

The NTHC has the authority to verify, at any time during the carding cycle, that the athlete remains committed to and/or meets the expectations laid out in their individual athlete verification plan and their signed NT Agreement. The duration of the verification is at the discretion of the GCG program staff. However, a yearly verification plan has been laid out in the Senior NT Performance Agreement. Should an athlete not be able to meet the verification standards and targets laid out for them this may lead to consideration for de-carding. The decision to recommend to Sport Canada to de-card an athlete will be taken by the CWG. A Senior athlete should meet the following expectations, unless ill or injured: - meet the targets and verifications set out in each athlete’s individual plan in coordination with the athlete’s

coach and the NTHC;


10

- demonstrate on an ongoing basis the dedication, determination, and commitment to hard work expected of a carded athlete;

- maintain a physical condition in accordance with the status of a carded athlete as determined by the MAG NT Head Coach;

- improve his level/performances when compared to the previous Canadian Championships and Elite Canada which means, among other things, competing with new skills, higher D scores, and higher E scores;

- compete in at least TWO international competitions in the last twelve months and a minimum of one per six-month period.

9.1 CONDITIONS FOR DE-CARDING PROCESS In addition to not meeting the targets set out in each athlete’s individual plan, as well as NT and Performance Agreements, the NTHC may initiate the de-carding process under the following conditions: 9.1.1. There is a lack of commitment of the athlete to the National Team training and competition program as indicated by, but not exclusively: - Failure of the athlete to meet the expectations stated above; - Absence of the athlete from National Team activities without the submission of verifiable documents with
