All-Star New Rules Released Today?

[The Sixth]

Minus the standing doubles, still VERY disappointed with the tumbling rules. I still feel they have basically removed the distinction between above average tumbling and elite tumbling.

I have a feeling were going to see lots of whip double whip double whip double. :)

not without a back handspring...

 

[SmileCat]

No one to doubles :( Only thing i'm really sad about & the uniform rules not being changed..

On the plus side we can all go get a bacon sundae at burger King to make us feel better...

I feel pretty disgusted now and it's not even the new rules that caused it...

Really?? Eww

I can tolerate the new rules. Not a fan that you can't do one to doubles... but other then that, they are tolerable. Disappointed there was no apology of any sort for how things were handled and no apology for their previous wording in their Etiquette Guidelines.

so standing 2+ to doubles are fine. And then whip doubles? just no twisting before the double.. :) sometimes the wording confuses me lol

I think I just threw up in my mouth...

Whip doubles are legal, just no full double or double double

so a full full would be ok also.

Yup - the change says the only thing not allowed is standing one to double. Can still RO double, whip double, multiple HS to double.

 

[munchkinmom]

it also doesn't do much to address the confidence issue, They still say they can change the rules and age grids whenever they want if they deem it an immediate and important concern. I'm sure it was immediate and important that 12 year olds could be on a youth team and then that they couldn't

It does nothing to address the confidence issue.

Infact, I feel the wording of " Going forward, in an effort to advance the USASF's mission in a more substantial and timely way, the Board will give as clear a direction as possible to the Rules Committee as it relates to the development of rules." felt like they were saying "When the board decides that we need a change we'll strive to hand the Rules Committee the exact rules we expect them to implement for us" especially coupled with the next paragraph implying they intended on silencing the rules committee too.

not.amused.

I'm seeing just now twisting in or out of a double full....so whip/double/whip/double/whip/doubles across the mat now!

Looks that way.
