As you all know the WBTF is implementing a new “Twirling Judges System” to be effective for 2012 World Championships. This system, at this time, is only being used for the Freestyle event. This new system is really targeting proper technique of baton and body work. The following elements are high on their priorities and CBTF wants everyone to address them immediately on all levels of twirling; from the recreational level to elite.
A Directive has been issued to the Judges to draw attention to these infractions on score sheets. While there are no specific penalties at this time, these errors do affect the athletes' overall score.
