Judges Scoring

  • Push Movements Judge: This judge will evaluate push movements, such as the planche, and iron cross, and assign scores based on difficulty, execution, and control. 5 points in total will be awarded between holds and strength dynamics.

  • Pull Movements Judge: This judge will assess pull movements, like the front levers back lever, and hefesto, and assign scores based on the same criteria as the Push Movements Judge. 5 points in total will be awarded between holds and strength dynamics.

  • Combo Judge: This judge will evaluate combo routines and progressively more difficult movements, considering variety, creativity, transitions, length of time, and presentation. 5 points in total are awarded.

Points can only be awarded for holds that last a minimum of 3 seconds, except for strength dynamics.

Judges Criteria

  • Difficulty: The complexity of the static calisthenics move attempted. More difficult movements at the end of your combo will give you more points.

  • Execution: How well the participant maintains the correct position and form during the move. A move needs to be held longer than 3 seconds to get validated. So once the static move is held this will be counted like 0, 1, 2, 3. Static moves that are held longer than 3 seconds can gain you more points, however you will need to create a combo, and staying in one move too long will cost you points.

  • Control: The ability to hold the static position without trembling or losing balance.

  • Creativity: Uniqueness and innovation in the final routine.
