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.
