2019-2020 OFFICIAL Elite Compulsory – VAULTUpdated and approved by the IEC—9-23-19—from the Judges’ CourseUpdated and approved by the IEC—1-23-20Please note: All vaults will be valued at a 10.00. The coach announces the vault including the body position (tuck, pike, layout). The judges evaluate the actual vault seen, not necessarily what is announced by the coach. There is no deduction for performing a different vault that was announced. The figures are a GUIDELINE for understanding the vault. Techniques may vary in terms of timing. The evaluation emphasis will be on technique, form, execution, and body shape throughout themajor elements. Only One (1) vault is permitted. The vault entry and shape must be announced. The gymnast may choose from any of the FOUR entrances and perform the vault in one (1) of thethree (3) body positions. (TUCK, PIKE, STRETCH) The vault may be performed in a “pit” with a resi-surface of level matting over loose foam. The height of the landing must be at FIG competition level. Several layers of mats may be stackedto comply with the FIG specifications. The height of the table must be according to FIG apparatus specifications. Refer to USAGymnastics Rules and Policies. General deductions and judging guidelines are listed at the end of this document. If, after the completion of the last event, an athlete’s AA score is a maximum of 0.10 less than thequalifying score to Hopes Classic, American Classic, and US Classic (NOT applicable to HopesChampionships or US Championships), the coach may submit an inquiry for the gymnast’s lowestscoring event in order that the athlete be considered for qualification purposes. Any change ofscore is official and is included in the final results.The gymnast is allowed Two (2) attempts to perform One (1) vault . (For example: Performs a “runby” on the first vault, the gymnast is allowed a second attempt. Follow the JO “Balk” rules.) Elite Compulsory Vault – Page 1
