Required Elements

In order to ensure that freestyle routines are well-rounded and varied, athletes will be required to perform certain skill types or elements. For each required element not fulfilled points will be deducted from the score.

The amount of required elements performed is determined based the marks made by the Technical Judge. Skills can be completed at any level to count as a completed required element.

For the IJRU World Championships Series, the following number of elements are required for freestyle events in the Senior competition, with the number of required elements for the Junior Competition and Open Tournament in (parenthesis):

• 6 (4) Power and/or Gymnastics skills
• 6 (4) Multiples
• 6 (4) Rope manipulation skills
• 4 (4) Partner interactions

Event Organiser Discretion

The event organiser for other events than the IJRU world championships may adjust these numbers.
