Rules Modifications 2024-2025, View
Provided by Janette Doucette - NCAA Women's Gymnastics Rules Interpreter
This new Rules Modifications 2024-25 has had a formatting and grammar review of the entire document, resulting in some restructuring to improve consistency, clarity, and ease of locating rules. Several paragraphs have been moved, and a couple new sections have been created containing previously published/clarified rules, in order to bring similar topics together.
Please read through the document carefully so you may become familiar to the new locations of rules. I do not anticipate any more major movements of sections in the future.

- Different format – it’s no longer organized by published date of the newsletters. To make it easier to find any specific Clarifications or Q&A, it’s organized by following the sections of the Rules Modification to which each entry applies, so this Archive can be used as a more efficient resource in conjunction with the Rules Modifications. Each entry has a notation of the date it was published. There is a note at the beginning of the document to explain this concept.
