Thank you to everyone who sent in the anomalies. These were all documented, so if you do not see your suggestion listed in these changes, please bear in mind that there are some anomalies that will be referred to the WTC and also some that relate to the new code and will be picked up later in the year.
The April 2017 handbook is an interim version. It will cover the competitions in July. For clarification the Yorkshire competitions in July will be judged against the criteria in this handbook however the value of moves will be as per the new FIG code and the E deductions will be as per the new FIG code.
THE EXCEPTION TO THIS IS THE YORKSHIRE INDIVIDUAL FIG COMPETITION. The FIG competition will be judged fully on the new FIG code not only for element values and E deductions but also on the new code Criteria CRs, DVs etc.
It is unfortunate that it is necessary to have an interim criteria however, the centralising of judging courses to BG has led to some delays in the availability and delivery of the courses making a half way step necessary.
