Hi everybody.
We just had a meet where all our level 3 girls, that competed a glide pull over, got deducted because their mounting spring board wasn't removed until after they started their pull over. The judge said the deduction is called "failure to remove springboard or mounting mat/block after mount"
I found this specific deduction under the general penalties, it is a real deduction.
My question is, do we consider the glide or the pull over the mount for 3s? When do I actually need to move the mounting mat? According to the text, I believe, I only have to move after the pull over started, not before the pull over.
The text says: " Reverse the glide and swing backwards with legs together and straight, with the feet of the floor. At the competition of the backward swing, the feet may contact the mat to finish in a straight stand OR the body can continue the swing forwards, placing the feet on the mat closer to the apparatus."
I've looked for a place where it specifically says what kind a mat they are referring to when they say "May contact the mat" but I haven't had any luck.
Any body knows anything about this or is a judge or know who I can email or call to clarify this?
Thank you
