WAG "warming up" DURING a competition?

[Kiwi]

At our meets (in my bit of the UK anyway), they have a mass general warm up at the start. Then they are split into groups and at the start of each rotation they have a timed warm up. Then everyone sits down and they all compete.

Except for the beam. There we run what we call an American warm up. One girl performs, then while the judges are scoring, the next warms up. They alternate like that so for each individual gymnast they warm up, then watch one other girl compete, then someone else warms up, then they compete. I think that's right - I'm suddenly doubting myself.

That's how competitions are run here, too. General warm-up at the start on floor, apparatus warm-up at each rotation. Group warm-up for floor then compete, two practice vaults each on vault then compete, usually 'American' for beam and bar. For 'American', usually the first three warm-up and then it alternates compete one then warm-up one.
