Cali-Battles 8

Freestyle Calisthenics World Championship
– Official Rulebook –

In this CALI-Battle, each participant will be evaluated across five distinct categories: Statics, Power Dynamics, Dynamic Tricks, Flow, and Combination. Within each category, a designated judge will assess the performance of every contestant, assigning scores according to the tables listed below. These tables represents a spectrum of difficulty for moves, ranging from S to D (S, A, B, C, D), allowing judges to precisely gauge the complexity and execution of each move. By employing this scoring system, it not only ensures a fair and thorough evaluation of participants' skills but also distinguishes the most complete athlete across all categories.

Awarded for transitions between moves.

N.B:

  • If a participant performs multiple combos in a round, the final score is determined by selecting the highest score achieved from all combos executed during that round.
  • A maximum of 4 moves per category (Statics, Dynamics, Power Dynamics) is allowed within a combination.
  • Any additional moves beyond the 4 allowed per category will not be counted towards the score.
  • To achieve the maximum of 12 moves, an athlete must perform 4 moves from each of the three categories.

Flow JUDGE (20 Points)

The flow judge possess extensive experience and expertise in calisthenics, as their role involves evaluating the fluidity, continuity, and seamless transitions between moves in a participant's routine.
The Number of Tricks performed in a row the Higher the Points.
The Harder the Transitions and Combinations the Higher the Points.

Rules

  • - If an athlete repeats the same performance combination multiple times, judges are permitted to deduct points.
  • - Communication with the main judges is not allowed. Any objections must be submitted to the side judge, who will determine if the issue merits review by the main judges. (If an athlete breaks this rule, they will receive a warning.)
  • - Any form of verbal abuse, disrespect, sexism, racism, or discrimination is strictly forbidden. Anyone who violates this rule will receive a warning.
  • - Upon receiving two warnings, the participant will be disqualified from the current and the next CaliBattles.

Important: Strict Form Evaluation

For all judging categories, especially Statics, Dynamics, and Power Dynamics, the form and execution of every move are strictly evaluated by the corresponding judge. Bad execution of a move will result in a deduction of points or the move not being counted at all.
