Code of Points 2023+
Gym Wheel
The updated version of the Code of Points 2023+ contains corrections and improvements that will have minimal effect on the composition of the gymnasts’ routines. An overview of the differences between Version 2.2 and Version 2.1 can be found on pages 3-4 of the document. Version 2.2 will be the valid version for the 2025 Team World Championships.

*** NEW ***
Version 2.2 (published 31 January 2025):
Difficulty Catalogues:
RECOGNITION OF LOWER PHASE – MAY 2024
UPDATED – FEBRUARY 2025
Published – JUNE 2024
On page 75 of the STL difficulty catalogue you will find the following text: “If one of the following lower phases is performed directly after an upper phase with D difficulty, the difficulty of the upper phase will be counted and not the difficulty of the lower phase”. This regulation implies that if C19 (angled sitting with 1/1 turn and take-off from floor, page 76 of the STL difficulty catalogue) is performed after a D element in the upper phase, the difficulty value of C19 will not be recognised, but the structure group IX will be counted. In the special case of a D element performed in the upper phase followed by D31b (=C19 followed by C7 a free knee swing into bridge forwards, see page 141 of the STL difficulty catalogue), the difficulty value of C19 will still not be recognised, but it will upgrade C7 to a D element. The structure group IX will be counted in both cases.
This version of the IRV difficulty catalogue for spiral includes the difficulty skills that were published in a separate document in March 2024 as well as corrections and improvements that were deemed necessary after the 2024 World Championships in the Netherlands. Yellow highlights have been used to draw attention to revisions. This difficulty catalogue has been given the version name 2.2 to bring it in line with the updated Code of Points 2023+ Version 2.2.
NB: Previous versions of the Code of Points can be found in the Gym Wheel Code of Points Archive.
