New Quad, New Rules

Justine Kelly on FloGymnastics put together a series of posts on changes in the 2017-2020 Code of Points:

• 2017-2020 Code of Points – Part 1

• 2017-2020 Code of Points – Vault & Bars

•  2017-2020 Code – Beam & Floor

Beam should have more variety next cycle as many skills have been raised in difficulty.

Don’t count on all those changes surviving, however. A new President is coming in. I’ll be surprised if this is the final draft.
