What can a video review be used for, and who conducts it?

At any Development Program meet, a coach may request a video review if video is available. It's conducted by the Meet Referee and the highest-rated judge unaffiliated with that event. If either is affiliated with the athlete, use the next two highest-rated unaffiliated judges, or the highest-rated unaffiliated judge and a USA Gymnastics officer. Video may be viewed at regular speed, slow motion or freeze frame.

Allowed only for:

• An element possibly missed by the judges that affects Start Value
• Whether the gymnast grasped or touched the bar with one or two hands before falling on a release
• Whether she landed on the bottoms of the feet first (vault, bar and beam dismounts, beam acro elements finishing on the beam, floor saltos)
• Spotting deductions, floor line violations, floor overtime (the coach must provide the video), or any neutral deduction

Not allowed for judgments of degree: casts, handstands, incomplete turns, direct connections, leg separation in leaps, timing and degree of twist on vault, and similar.

The Meet Referee must tell the panel that a review is starting and what was decided. The panel may watch the video once the review is finished.
