2. The federations will be informed by the Secretary General at least one month beforehand of the time and place of the drawing of lots and they will be

be drawn and determine the order in which the team or gymnast will commence to compete in the competition

For the health and safety of gymnasts, FIG has accepted that gymnasts competing in multiple finals require 10 minutes to recover before competing
again… This recovery period has been translated to equal to 4 competition performances. see T.R. 2012, section 1, reg 4.4
The draw will be adjusted according to this principle. If a gymnast or group compete 7th in one rotation andare drawn in positions 1-3 in the next rotation
the new starting position will become 4th. If a gymnast or group compete last in a rotation and are drawn in positions 1-4 in the next rotation the new starting
position will be 5th. This adjustment, if necessary, will be made by the Superior Jury President and
once the qualifying gymnasts are determined an adjusted draw and start list will be produced by Longines.This principle applies for all following rotations
and also during other final competitions as well as for World Games qualifications.
