1.0 INTRODUCTION & GENERAL INFORMATION
Gymnastics Canada has created a selection process as outlined below while recognizing that
environmental and safety concerns related to COVID-19 may have an impact on events and
activities at the International and National level. Thus, the following plans and processes may be
subject to change and every effort will be made to ensure such changes are made diligently and fairly
and are conveyed in a timely manner.
Canada can qualify an additional berth to the Tokyo Olympic Games by placing in the top 3
countries of the final All-Around World Cup ranking.
Participation at:
• World Championships 2019 or
• All-Around World Cup (American Cup 2020, Stuttgart 2021, Birmingham 2021, Tokyo

athlete specific in terms of qualification i.e., An athlete who qualifies in the Top 3, thereby earning a
spot for Canada, is not guaranteed to be selected for the Olympic Games. Their selection will be
made through the selection process (see GymCan's website).

5.0 PROCESS FOR VIDEO ROUTINES
The process for submitting routines has been detailed below to ensure consistency and equivalent
standards for all eligible athletes.
VIRTUAL COMPETITIONS
For virtual competitions athletes will be expected to warm-up and compete within one pre-
determined training session.
• Athletes are welcome to use as much warm-up time as necessary
• Athlete will indicate to the judge onsite her readiness to perform
• Athlete will present to the judge onsite
• Once the athlete presents (puts hand up), she will compete and that routine will be filmed.
• Only one attempt per apparatus is permitted
• Athletes must complete the entire virtual competition within 4 hours.
• A brevet judge will be required to be on site to ensure that guidelines have been respected.
• The onsite judge will not judge the routines or communicate any scores with the athlete or
coaches but will be responsible for onsite logistics and requirements as listed below.
STEP 1: Club is responsible for confirming virtual competition time and date with GymCan
and local Brevet Judge a minimum of 3 days in advance. If possible, it is
recommended that the club supply a volunteer to assist the BJ with the videotaping
of the routines.
Clubs are able to invite any available local Brevet judge (BJ), please refer to
Appendix 1 for a list of Brevet Judges. Please note that national team coaches who
are also BJ cannot act as on-site judges. Also judges who have been assigned as the
Virtual Competition D and/or E Panel Judges cannot act as on-site judges.
If no other judge is available, CHJ will have the ability to approve an assigned judge
or alternate judge (National or Brevet Candidat).
Athletes in the US for NCAA are able to invite a local US judge. The name of that
judge and contact information must be submitted to and approved by the CHJ.
STEP 2: Brevet judge arrives on-site to verify equipment and ensure that competition
guidelines are respected. Onsite judge will be responsible for:
o equipment verification (see Equipment section below)
o overall timing of the Virtual Competition
o ensure total time is respected (maximum 4 hours to complete upon
scheduled arrival time of on-site judge)
o filming from the position of the D1 and at a sufficient distance to capture the
entire body/routine. Use a stationary camera (ipad on a tripod is recommended).
It is recommended that the BJ and the Coach along with a volunteer assigned as
the videographer test the video requirements to ensure a high level of quality in
the video routines. Factors such as physical obstructions in the gym and lighting
may need to be addressed.

possible. Ensure that height above the vault and landing area are
captured.

landing area/allow for steps) are captured
o For Floor ensure that all tumbling lines and landings are visible on the
video.
o Responsible for signaling for start of routine once gymnast has indicated
readiness to present
o If possible can give an audio cue for the virtual judging panel who will watch the
videos of the routines (e.g., indicate verbally for video or show the number of the
vault to be performed and also verbally indicate the start of run for vault)
o Be prepared to time routines and note all time violations
o Be prepared to observe and note out of bounds violations
o Submit all time and line deductions and any other neutral deductions via email

started.
