BC WARM UP PROCEDURES (2014-2015)
General
Warm up
20 minutes: Athletes may not start the general warm-up on the competition floor before the set time.
Athletes may not use the equipment during the general warm-up (not go on V, UB, BB – only light
tumbling on FX re: beam acro on line).
Sanction: first infraction: Verbal warning to athlete and coach, 2nd offence from same
coach/athlete: coach red carded – and removal from competition floor for that session

Levels 1-3 must warm up
on a line, not in diagonal
Levels 1-5: all athletes from
a given club must use the
same music in
competition. The coach
must inform the music
table.
Split warm up if group is:
Compulsory 13+ athletes in a rotation
Optional: 9+ athletes in a rotation
Those are the numbers suggested by USAG. Judges and coaches should be flexible at the
beginning of the season and allow for smaller sub-groups.
2 min / athlete
Minimum 10 min
2 min / athlete
Group warm up
2 min / athlete
Individual warm up
1.5 min / athlete
Group warm up
Min 5 min, max 8 min
UB: If there are athletes with and without grips/chalk, athletes are divided into 2 subgroups. Each sub-group will get their warm up time. 90 seconds is granted for each
different bar preparation. The D1 judge will agree with the majority of coaches on the
most efficient way to warm up.
At competitions, USA clubs use various types of warm up. The WTC/WAG program is opened to the
idea of using innovative warm up procedures that may be more efficient. Host clubs are welcomed
to use the warm up stated above, or use the ideas below. The host must inform the clubs of the
warm up format in their last communication with the club (with the final schedule, for example).
Whichever option is used, the safety of the athletes is paramount; a coach must be present with the
athletes while they warm up.
Innovative
warm up
procedures
Continuous warm up: once athletes have completed their competition on an apparatus, they move
to the next apparatus, without waiting for the rest of the athletes in their rotation. They present to the
D1 judge and can start to warm up immediately, in between competing athletes. For example: A
group of athletes is done competing on Beam. They go to Floor immediately, meet with the D1
judge, and warm up in between the athletes that are competing on floor.
2 sets of apparatus: one set of judges: If the layout of the gym permits it, 2 sets of the same
apparatus are placed next to each other, with judges sitting in between. While Group 1 competes
on apparatus A, Group 2 warms up on apparatus B. When all athletes in Group 1 have finished
competing, judges turn around and judge the athletes on apparatus B. At the same time, Group 3
goes to apparatus A to warm up. In this format, there is always one group warming up and one
group competing on a given apparatus.

•
•
•
In BC – all Major Elements (ME) must be performed as indicated in the manual. Also refer to the “Point of emphasis” for each ME.
On BB and FX, although it is expected that the athlete will perform the compulsory choreography, no text error will be taken.
Total execution deductions may NOT exceed the Value of the Element + 0.5 (excluding falls).
•
•
•
•
•
BB/FX - Reversing the order of 2 dance elements in direct connection – 0.3
All – Changing a Major Element (performing a variation of the element) – Value of the element
All- Substituting or omitting a Major Element (performing a totally different element or leaving it out) – Double the value of the element
All - Incomplete Major Element – Up to the value of the element
Adding an element that is not listed in the compulsory – 0.3 (In BC, this does not apply to simple chorography steps or passages)
•
If a Major Element is incomplete, judges will credit the % of the element completed. For example, kip not quite up to support – judges evaluate that 75% of the
element is complete. They will credit 0.4 of 0.6 (value of the kip).
If an incomplete Major Element is repeated successfully, the ME will be fully credited. Execution deductions (and fall) from the 1st attempt plus execution deductions
from the 2nd attempt starting judging at the point of interruption of the 1st element.
