FIG Men’s Provisional 2024 Code
Nothing is carved in stone, as yet.
But if you want to see the direction FIG MTC is heading, click over to ngja.org.
Read a quick summary of some of the major changes.
Thanks Nate.
Hey – CROOKED Vault landing mat
Men’s team competition 2019 Worlds. Hopefully the Speith guys, judges or coaches will CHECK for the MAG Final.
related – Spieth is one of the providers for Tokyo. Another is Senoh. They’ll be no change from Spieth equipment used here through to Tokyo.
D & E scores – AA Final 2019
Nina had the highest E-score. Simone the highest D-score.
a new award for DIFFICULTY ?!
Bad idea. 😕
I’m be OK with additional awards for Elegance. Or E-score. But rewarding difficulty for the sake of difficulty could be dangerous.
“The gymnast must never attempt to increase the difficulty or the “D” score at the expense of aesthetic and technical execution. …”
Fujitsu 3D computer video analysis UPDATE
Today at Worlds, Fujitsu held a press conference telling us where they are at with the technology.
Former FIG MTC Chair Steve Butcher is our liaison.

It’s being used at Worlds 2019, but only in case of appeal or ‘blocked score’. Blocked score is when the Superior Jury disagree with the D-panel start score.
MAG Vault, Rings, Pommels and WAG Vault.
WAG Beam looks near ready but is not being used here.
Steve said it had been used on Rings already and that judges had found it valuable.
IOC has not approved it for use at the Tokyo Olympics but FIG and Fujitsu plan to roll it out increasingly through to the 2024 Olympics.
I’m most excited about it being used by coaches in the Gym. Fujitsu will offer it to National Training Centres (or equivalent) worldwide.

Horizontal Bar – German Giants
Just today I learned that FIG MTC has clarified evaluation of German Giants.
You can watch one variation HERE.
Some of the guys at Worlds can get 2 C-parts.
1. German Giant = C
2. Koste = C
The clarification is for gymnasts who do not make it to nominal handstand on the Koste. If not, it’s a part of no value — but without deduction.
That’s inconsistent with the rest of the Code. Illogical. But I kind of like it anyaway as I do appreciate German giants.
The alternative now is for gymnasts not to go to handstand and simply do Stalder (B-part) out. If they have enough value parts the net loss is only 0.1 from D-score.
Leave a comment if I still have this wrong.
