2021 TEAMGYM BRITISH CHAMPIONSHIPS - QUALIFICATION PROCESS - BRITISH GYMNASTICS

2021 TeamGym British
      Championships
        Qualification Process

Due to the uncertainty around COVID restrictions, it will not be possible to stage physical events for Qualification
to the British Championships in 2021, which is scheduled for 29-31 October, at Fenton Manor Sports Complex
in Stoke-On-Trent.

Instead, teams will be invited to qualify via video submission.

Each team will be required to film their routines, and submit them for judging analysis, along with full tariff
sheets.

For full teams this will consist of three separate videos:
1) Floor
2) Tumble
3) Trampet (including Trampet Vault)

For micro teams this will be two separate videos:
1) Tumble
2) Trampet (including Trampet Vault).

These must be according to the following rules:

Determination of Qualifiers

    •   Routines will be assessed to ensure they are a safe and appropriate standard for the British
        Championships.
    •   With such a long time since it was possible to stage National competitions, the intention is to maximise
        the opportunity for teams to return to competition.
    •   However, as it remains unclear what COVID restrictions may remain in place by the time of the British
        Championships (29-31 October), it may be possible that numbers have to be restricted to meet the
        necessary health and safety requirements.
    •   If there is a capacity issue, teams will be ranked to determine which teams will be invited to the British
        Championships.
    •   A minimum required qualification score has not been set for 2021.
