The new code continues to develop and comments are coming in. However, vault appears to still be an event that will score higher then the other apparatus. This needs to be thought out. I am not sure that just having all gymnasts doing two vaults is the answer. The difficulty tables could be adjusted as a simple answer but not neccesarily the answer either.
One thing for sure, do not ush a new or revised code foward too fast. The code for 2005-2008 has constantly been updated and new interpretations have been coming in each year and not just one or two but many changes. Most of these are made through out the year at the World Cup events. But, there are changes and new interpreatations at every World Championships. A better idea would be to have a time period were all rules are locked in. Something like six months out and no new interpretations either.
This is a great opportunity to fix the code and improve the code for the gymansts, coahes and the spectators.
What do others think of the 2009-2012 code development? How would you fix the vaulting issue? Right now until all gymnasts have vaulted you have no idea how the gymnasts rank with each other. This is not a good competitive situation.
