It’s #2, and it’s bright yellow.
A small sample:
1. Did you know that a Level 10 athlete can now get bonus on VAULT?
2. Did you know that on bars a Level 9 or 10 athlete will receive a .3 deduction for a cast to horizontal? Or that a clear hip circle under horizontal will receive “A” credit?
3. Too many pivot turns on beam now receives a .1 deduction for Levels 7-10.
4. The dance series special requirement on floor is now called the “Dance Passage” and has a new, expanded definition.
Don’t be caught short! Order the new rules and study up.
