Version 2.1 (published Sep 2, 2023):
The updated version of the Code of Points 2023+ provides further definitions on specific sections as well as corrections of minor errors. A list of all differences between version 2.0 and version 2.1 can be found on page 3 of the document. Version 2.1 will be the valid version for the 2024 individual world championships.

Differences between version 2.1 and version 2.0 (see page 3 of version 2.1):
RECOGNITION OF LOWER PHASE – MAY 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.
One extra element was added in March. The February link has therefore been deactivated and the March link (above) is now the valid one:
After the first IRV multiplier judging course in January and February 2023, the IRV Code of Points team made minor changes to the current regulations. These changes are aimed at clarifying certain topics. The differences between this version (2.1) and the previous version (2.0) can be found in the table below. Please keep in mind that whenever there is a discrepancy between the CoP 2023+ and the Technical Language of Wheel Gymnastics (1988), the CoP 2023+ is the valid source of information.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
New Code – valid from 1st January 2023
The new Gym Wheel Code of Points 2023+ will be implemented at the beginning of 2023 and aims at providing a fair and transparent system of regulations for all IRV Gym Wheel competitions.
