19 JULY Technical Manual

3.2 . Judges
According to the ‘Sports, disciplines, categories and quotas’ overview, NOCs need to bring
one judge if they compete with at least two gymnasts (boys and/or girls). However, following
the approval of the EOC and the Technical Delegates, the Organising Committee would like
to ask and recommend that NOCs bring one qualified judge even when they have entered
only one boy and/or girl in order to assure the appropriate number of international judges.
The way the judges are to be distributed will be determined by the drawing of lots at the
judges meeting held prior to the competition. The D-panel will be nominated by the Technical
Delegates according to the category of the judges in the 13th cycle.
Gymnastics girls
Each NOC that has entered two girls will need to bring one judge (please see the
remark above).
A total of 31 judges will be required for the WAG competition. Six judges per
apparatus (two Difficulty and four Execution) = 24 judges. Seven assistant judges will
be required (times, lines etc.) in addition to these 24 judges.
The judges must be in possession of the international judges brevet, valid for the
current cycle (13th cycle).*
If there is a shortage of judges, the ‘missing’ number will be provided by the Dutch
Federation (Koninklijke Nederlandse Gymnastiek Unie), only judges with a valid FIG
brevet.
No fees or other (travel) expenses will be paid in respect of these judges. The judges
will be paid by the NOCs nominating them. For the Utrecht 2013 EYOF the
participation fee is € 65 per person per day.
Gymnastic boys
Each NOC who have registered two boys have to enter one judge (please see the
remark above).
For the MAG competition 41 (assistant) judges are required. Six judges per apparatus
(two Difficulty and four Execution) = 36 judges. Next to these 36 judges, five assistant
judges are needed (times, lines etc.).
The judges must be in possession of the international judges brevet, valid for the
current cycle (13th cycle).*
The ‘missing’ (number of) judges will be provided by the Dutch Federation
(Koninklijke Nederlandse Gymnastiek Unie), only judges with a valid FIG brevet.
No fees or other (travel) costs will be paid for these judges. Judges are fully paid by
the NOCs that nominate them. For the EYOF Utrecht 2013 the participation fee is
€ 65 per person per day.
*We kindly ask the NOCs to bring judges with relevant international experience. Although
the EYOF is an event for young gymnasts, they often have a high level of difficulty.
According to the FIG General Judges’ rules, Art 5, the judges‘ draw will be done with priority
to the higher ranked judges. Judges´ names (MAG and WAG) have to be sent to the
Organizing Committee until 31 May 2013. It is very important for the selection of the D panel.
