Some notes:

• benefits being realized in the reduction to 8 elements
• FIG Executive Committee has approved placing a maximum cap of 0.5 for the dismount element group on Pommel Horse, Rings, Parallel Bars and Horizontal Bar.
• triple salto elements are prohibited for Juniors
• on Floor, corner transitions must be conspicuously different from one another. Otherwise a 0.3 neutral deduction is taken.
• all variations of the Stag Leap with 1/1 or 1/2 turn will no longer fulfill the Jump/Leap requirement 
• Certainly, current Floor rules have resulted in much more artistic routines. It’s working.
• hold positions with open hands may be deducted for false grip if the wrists are on top of the Rings

I noticed many more appeals at the two 2025 World Championships. MANY were for STICK BONUS.

Very slight brushes could be controversial.

A Winkler or Pogorelov (Element II.42) must be performed with a straight body up to the point where the feet pass nearest to the bar.

If the body is bent more than 45° prior to the feet passing the bar, the element will receive D value and a 0.3 deduction for nondistinct position.
