- Use the inquiry form provided at the location announced at the coaches' meeting.
- Submit it to the Meet Director or Meet Referee within 5 minutes of your squad finishing that event.
- There is no fee.
- Don't approach the judge about it. The form is returned to you after the Chief Judge responds.
What you can inquire about:
| Program | Grounds |
|---|---|
| Compulsory levels | Incorrect elements, evaluation of major elements, falls, neutral deductions, unusual occurrences |
| Optional levels (6-10) | Start Value, specific "flat" compositional deductions, falls, neutral deductions, unusual occurrences |
A camera flash is not grounds to ask for a routine to be repeated.
An inquiry is a second evaluation: the score can stay the same, go up or go down. The Meet Referee may watch video first to decide whether it goes forward.
Qualifying exception: at State or Regional Championships, if an all-around gymnast finishes 0.10 or less below the qualifying score, you may inquire on her lowest-scoring event. This can't be used for mobility, or where qualification is by percentage or a set number per age group.
