Parents beam routine

[Annikins]

Just curious, not for me, for a friend. I think there is a requirement for a beam routine to have some sideways dance in it? What would be the penalty for not including this in the routine? I think it's under the FIG rules (we are not in the US). Can any judges out there help with this? Thank you!

There is a compositional deduction in the USA JO code for level 8-10 for failure to show beam choreography in all directions. I don't know fig code well though, but maybe there is something similar?

Just looked at the FIG code. There is a 0.1 E-panel deduction for lack of side movements on beam(must be in on DV parts).

Typo above, on should be non. That little n makes a big difference.

What does dv mean?

Difficulty value, DV parts are basically the counting elements(dance and acro) in the routine

Yes it is 0.1 in FIG. Also it has to be movements along the beam with the feet not just a side pose with arm waves. Which makes it a wobble fest for some kids so some coaches just do a side pose with arm waves and take the 0.1 if spotted.

Thank you Jenny. That's funny! I can just picture that!
