DETERMINATION OF SCORES
6.1
D-Score
This is also referred to as the Difficulty Score. This is determined by the content of
the routine.
6.1.1
Club Levels 1 – 4 (as per NDP 1-3)
Club Levels 1 to 4 have compulsory routines. If a gymnast completes all of the
elements/skills in the routine the D-Score will be 5.00.
In the case that skills are missing or attempted but not completed the following
deductions will be taken from the D-Score.
Skill omitted – the value of the skill for Bar, Beam & Floor
Skill attempted but not meeting the technical requirement – ½ the value of the
skill (0.5 or 0.30) is deducted
Broken series – 0.3 deduction
6.1.2
Club Levels 5 & 6 (as per NL 4-6)
Club Levels 5 & 6 have compulsory routines. If a gymnast completes all of the
elements/skills in the routine the D-Score will be 5.00.
In the case that skills are missing or attempted but not completed the following
deductions will be taken from the D-Score.
Skill omitted – 1.0 (omission) and the value of the skill for Bar, Beam & Floor
o The 1.0 omission is only applied if the entire requirement is missing.
Only the 0.5 value is deducted if part of the requirement is met (i.e.
missing one cartwheel from Level 5 floor routine). Any applicable
break in series is also applied.
Skill attempted but not meeting the technical requirement – ½ the value of the
skill (0.5) deducted
Broken series – 0.3 deduction
6.1.3
Club Level 7 (as per NL 4-6)
Club Levels 7 is a compulsory routine with limited bonus skills. If a gymnast
completes all of the elements/skills in the base routine the D-Score will be 5.00.
Gymnasts can achieve a maximum of 0.6 bonus (making a D score of 5.60)
on each of the following apparatus - Bars, Beam and Floor.
In the case that skills are missing or attempted but not completed the following
deductions will be taken from the D-Score.
Skill omitted – 1.0 (omission) and the value of the skill for Bar, Beam & Floor
Skill attempted but not meeting the technical requirement – ½ the value of the
skill (0.5) deducted
Broken series – 0.3 deduction
Gymnastics WA – 2014 – WAG Club Levels Manual
Page 8
6.1.4
Club Levels 8 and 10
Club Levels 8 and 10 are optional. A routine is composed of Difficulty Value (number
of skills from the code of points), Compositional requirements (types of skills, series
etc) and Connection value for each apparatus. The combination of the Difficulty
Value (DV), Compositional Requirements (CR) and Connection Value (CV) will form
the D-score.
Each CR is worth 0.50
Level 8 has a DV cap of 1.4
Level 10 has no DV cap
There is no cap on CV at all
6.2
E-Score
This is the gymnasts’ execution score. This is determined by calculating the total
deductions, composition and artistry faults in the routine and taking these from 10.00.
The final E-score is determined by averaging the judges’ E-scores. With 2 or 3
judges the average is simply calculated. In the instance where there are 4-6 judges
the highest and lowest E-scores are eliminated and the other scores averaged.
6.3
Final Score
The gymnasts’ final score is determined by adding the D-score and the E-score
(minus any neutral deductions).

15. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Here are some of the comments, suggestions and clarifications that resulted from
previous events:
General
Levels 5-7 is a combination of compulsory/optional aspects and can be
performed in any order
In Level 7 skills can only be replaced with a bonus skill on the same line
Levels 8-10 are purely optional routines
In Levels 1-4, if a skill is omitted, the gymnast loses just the value of the skill
(either 1.0 or 0.5)
In Levels 5-7, if an entire core skill is omitted, the gymnast loses 1.0 for
omission PLUS the value of the skill
In Levels 5-7, Skills are to be counted as per Updated Judging info for L4-6
document
In Levels 8 & 10, Skills are to be counted as per FIG principals
Vault
What is the deduction for an overarm action?
Currently there is no specific deduction
Use of Mini Tramp will incur a 2.0 mark deduction taken from the D-Score. It
can only be used for Handspring type Vaults.
Bars
Gymnasts are permitted to straddle at the back of a long swing
Gymnasts are permitted to perform glides with legs together or straddled
If a gymnast is too tall to perform glides on the low bar – they can be performed
on the high bar (instead of requesting the bars to be raised)
Club Level 5 Bars – if a gymnast chooses to perform a climb on the bar as the
Bar Change, there will be NO leg separation deduction if she puts her feet
between her hands then stands up. If the gymnast puts her feet on the outside
of her hands to stand up, this will incur a 0.30 leg separation deduction. In both
cases, deductions may also be taken for bent arms, loose legs and feet, and
lack of control.
Beam
Gymnast attempts a full pivot, falls off ½ way through, then gets back up and
does not repeat the element. (0.5 for not meeting the technical requirements
plus 1.0 for the fall).
Floor
Pivots are NOT to be included within a passage of dance.
Passage of dance must be travelling, therefore jumps or hops CANNOT be
included in the passage of dance.
Round offs and flips can be repeated and be awarded special requirements (in
Levels 8-10).
