the entry fee will be refunded. Entry fees are non-refundable after the closing date.

Where it is necessary to substitute/add a coach, the club must inform the SG performance department,

so the coach can be checked for membership, awards and safeguarding, before they can be accredited

Where through unforeseen circumstances, this is not possible or, where information has not previously

been supplied, the substitute must inform the Organiser immediately on arrival at the venue and

produce their coaching award certificate, current Scottish/British membership card and Safeguarding

certificates.

Competition Regulations - Gymnasts

Membership

Gymnasts must have Scottish Gymnastics membership in order to enter a competition. For levels 1-3

recreational membership is required and for levels 4 and 5 gymnasts must hold competitive

membership. It is the responsibility of the gymnast’s club to ensure that each gymnast has the

appropriate level of membership. In “open” competitions, gymnasts must hold the appropriate

membership level with their home federation.

In normal circumstances, gymnasts should also be members of an SG/BG registered club. In

exceptional cases, where a gymnast does not belong to a SG/BG registered club they must contact the

performance department for clarification. In exceptional circumstances such gymnasts will be given

the classification of being ‘Unattached’ but the gymnast must meet all other membership requirements.

Gymnast Attire

Regulations of dress are contained in the F.I.G Code of Points and must be adhered to.

Gymnasts’ Code of Conduct

Clothing indicating National Team representation should not be worn by gymnasts or coaches

at domestic competition. Gymnasts must not remove leotards until they are in the competitors' seating area. Any gymnasts found breaking this rule will receive a deduction for an attire

violation in accordance with FIG code of points.

All competitors are expected to enter the arena ‘smartly dressed’. Gymnasts should wear either

a zipped club tracksuit or leotard. Non-uniformed t-shirts and outdoor shoes are not accepted

for march on.

Gymnasts should ensure that long hair is tied back, and any tattoos are covered up.

No jewellery, body piercing or adornments of any kind are permitted in training or competition.

Gymnasts will not be allowed to compete at any Scottish gymnastics event with jewellery on.

Gymnasts are expected to maintain high standards to behaviour at all times showing respect

for their fellow competitors, competition officials and coaches.

9

Competition Regulations - Coaches

Membership

Coaches who reside in Scotland must have Scottish Gymnastics Level 2 and above/Gold coach

membership.

Assisting coaches must hold a minimum level 1 coach membership or level 2 and above in line with

their current coaching qualification.

Coaches without an up to date Safeguarding certificate and a current Disclosure (PVG) Record will not

be eligible to take gymnasts on to the competition floor or accompany gymnasts to events.

Safeguarding must be renewed every three years and must be valid both at the time of entry and

through to the end of the event. Coaches must also hold a valid PVG certificate both at the time of

entry through to the end of the event.

Coaches who are substituting on the day of competition must provide a copy of their PVG, Safeguarding

Certificate and SGA membership card at registration, otherwise they will not be permitted onto the

competition floor.

Coaching Practice

All coaches in attendance at a RG event must have undergone appropriate training for skills

being competed by their gymnast. It is the responsibility of the club and the coach to

ensure that appropriate training has been completed by the nominated coach.

Assistant coaches are allowed on the competition floor but not in an active coaching role.

The competition organiser (or a nominated representative), has a duty to challenge unsafe practice but the ultimate responsibility on the competition floor is with the coach. In extreme cases, where a coach

does not respond to the concerns being expressed, the organisers could stop the gymnast competing

and remove the coach from the competition floor. Failure to adhere to these regulations will result in the withdrawal of the gymnast and is likely to negate the coach’s Gymnastics Insurance.

Coaches’ Code of Conduct

Coaches are expected to maintain a high standard of dress. Standard dress would include trainers, full-length tracksuit bottoms, t-shirt or polo shirt and tracksuit top / fleece identifiable

with their own club logo.

Coaches should ensure that long hair is tied back, and must ensure that all jewellery is removed

(or adequately covered up), small stud earrings and wedding bands are permitted.

Coaches are not permitted to use mobile phones or any other electronic communication devices including tablets, to make calls, take photographs/video footage or be used for any other forms

of main communication in the main arena during a competition.

Coaches must ensure that their language and behaviour at all times is appropriate, reflecting

highly on their club, themselves and the sport.

Coaches are not permitted to eat or chew whilst in the competition arena.

Coaches are expected to show respect for their fellow coaches and competition officials at all

times.

Coaches are not permitted to approach the judges at any time during the competition.

10

Competition Regulations - Judges

Membership

Judges must hold current SG/BG membership in line with the level they are qualified to.

Judges must also hold a current cycle of judging award (Cycle 13).

Although it is not mandatory it is considered to be good practice for judges to attend safeguarding.

Any judge who has a dual role as a coach within a club must have valid PVG and safeguarding as stated

above.

Coaches, Judges and gymnasts should carry current membership cards to all competitions and be

prepared for these to be checked by the competition organiser or their appointed officials.

Nomination of Judges

Any competition entry forms which are submitted without a nominated judge or the £50.00 ‘no judge

fee’ paid will be returned. If a revised entry form, including the name of a judge or the £50.00 ‘no judge

fee’, does not reach the SG Office before the closing date for the competition, the entry will not be

included in the programme for that competition. Clubs MUST ensure they have the agreement of the

judge in question to officiate at the competition entered PRIOR to submitting their entry. Failure to do

so may result in a further £30 administration fee being levied.

New Club’s Nominating Judges

During the first 12 months of competition in events organised by the RGTP, a club may apply for

exemption from the £50 penalty for not nominating a qualified judge.

The following procedure should be followed:

A written request for exemption from the £50 fee must be included when submitting the

electronic entry form

A separate payment for £50.00 must accompany the entry and will be returned once it has

been confirmed that the 12 month period has not ended

The nominated judge does not have to be a member of the club making the nomination.

Judging Attire

Navy blue jacket with navy blue skirt or full length trousers, white shirt or blouse with a collar (either short or long sleeved)

Hair must be neat and not inhibit vision Jewellery, if worn, must be professional in appearance

Shoes must be professional in appearance (in particular, no flip flops or trainers)

Judge’s Code of Conduct

Judges are expected to march into the competition arena prior to the march in of the competing gymnasts, unless notified otherwise.

Judges should keep their tables clean and only have on the table items required for judging, keeping all outdoor clothing and bags stored out of sight.

Judges are required to stay at the venue until released by the Competition Organiser in case

they are required to assist with the checking of scores.

11

Volunteering Regulations By entering an SG RGTP event clubs are required to provide volunteers who will be available to assist

on the day of the competition.

Procedure

When the competition programme goes out, each club will be contacted and asked to provide a

volunteer for an allocated time slot(s) over the competition day/weekend, failure to do so by one week

prior to the event taking place will result in your club being fined.

Club contact (as named on entry form) must provide a volunteer name when requested (one week prior to the competition)

The named volunteer must be at least 16 years of age, and preferably aged over 18. Please indicate if the volunteer is 16 or 17 years of age.

Any coaches named as accompanying gymnasts on the floor at the competition may not also

be named as volunteers. The volunteers contact telephone number and e-mail address should be provided to the RGTP

official as per e-mail request prior to each competition. It is the club’s responsibility to ensure that the nominated volunteer is advised of their role at

the competition, what is expected from them and the time there are required to volunteer for.

(Please ask the nominated RGTP official if unsure) The volunteer should then report to the Competition Organiser at their allocated time slot.

Please note that some volunteers may have agreed in advance to officiate as Floor Manager, Computer

or Manual Scorer etc at specific competitions and they may be nominated as the volunteer from their club for those competitions.

If a volunteer cannot attend for any reason it is the club’s responsibility to find a replacement. Failure to do will result in the club being fined £30.00

12

General Regulations

Registration

Coaches must sign in at the registration desk on arrival at the venue, where they will may be required

to produce their SG/BG membership card. Coaches must ensure they carry their SG/BG membership

card at all times as proof of insurance.

Order of Performance

In order to maintain a smooth and timely running of the event or where the safety, security and good

performance of the gymnasts is a concern, the RGTP reserve the right to alter the working order and

or time/commencement of the competition round as may be deemed necessary by the organiser or

authorised officials. Please note a draw will be made to decide the order of the gymnasts.

Wherever practical the organiser shall produce and circulate to all participating clubs a provisional

competition programme and running order for an event at least 2 weeks before the day thereof.

Before the start of each round of competition (as notified by the competition organiser) a judges

meeting will take place. The timing of this meeting will be stated in the event programme

Music

Floor music must be provided on a clean CD as a single track with the gymnasts name clearly shown

on the CD and case.

Please note the use of Disney, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Cirque de Soleil as floor music is not

permitted – for further details refer to www.ppluk.com and www.mcps-prs-alliance.co.uk.

Access to Warm up Area

Access to the warm up hall will be limited to the appropriate number of coaches as defined. On arrival,

coaches will need to register and collect accreditation from the Competition Organiser. In the case of an event spanning more than one day, separate accreditation may be issued for each day.

Judges will not be allowed into this area once the judges meeting has taken place.

Tariff Sheets

One tariff sheet per routine must be submitted at least ten days before the date of the competition

using one of the following methods:

Sending an electronic copy of each sheet by email to the email address shown in the pre-

competition information.

Sending a hard copy of each sheet by post to the mailing address shown in the pre-

competition information.

It is the coach’s responsibility to ensure that tariff sheets are completed correctly, and are legible and

clear enough to be photocopied. Where sheets are sent electronically, they should be provided as a PDF to minimise the risk of formatting issues after submission.

Tariff sheets for all competitions must be completed electronically (i.e. not handwritten) using the

symbols provided by the FIG and an Excel spread sheet or other computer program.

Changes to tariff sheets after submission will only be permitted at the sole discretion of the Judging

Co-ordinator

before the date of competition. If this is not paid before the competition, gymnasts whose sheets

http://www.ppluk.com/

http://www.mcps-prs-alliance.co.uk/

13

were not received by the deadline will not be allowed to compete. Furthermore, no gymnast from

that club will be allowed to compete in future National Competitions until the fine has been paid.

Health and Safety

The safety of all participants (gymnasts, coaches and officials) is the primary consideration. All SG

policies will be rigorously applied with regards to health, safety and welfare and child protection.

Coaches are reminded of their responsibility in relation to their gymnasts – in the competition

environment this will specifically include ensuring the gymnasts are adequately prepared (physically

and psychologically) for performing their routines in a competition situation.

Anyone requiring first aid assistance should speak to either a member of the events team or the

competition organiser.

Trophies

The gymnast’s club must assume total responsibility for any individual SG trophy once presented. They

are also responsible for its safe return before the same competition in the following year. This also

applies to the club winner of any team competition. All perpetual trophies remain the property of

Scottish Gymnastics.

Photography

In accordance with current SG policy, flash photography is not permitted during the warm up or

competition phases of any Scottish Gymnastics event.

SG accredited photographers may be present at SG events and in some cases events may be videoed.

These images/footage may be used by SG and our partners for the purposes of promotion, education

and development of the sport. They may also be shared with relevant third part organisations for

journalistic/promotional purposes.

Clubs must ensure that gymnasts/parents are informed of the photography arrangements for the

relevant event. Any gymnast or parent who does not wish themselves or their child to be

photographed/filmed at the event must advise Scottish Gymnastics Performance Department.

The SG photography guidelines are available on the Scottish Gymnastics website here

http://www.scottishgymnastics.org/clubs/safeguarding-clubs-polices-procedures
