|
| 【 DESCRIPTION 】 |
3 team members per team compete: 2 as turners (players who turn the ropes) and 1 as a jumper (player who jumps the rope). The purpose is to complete as many jumps as possible in 30 seconds. *There are changes in the Speed rules this year, so please read the rules carefully. |
| 【START & STOP SIGNALS】 |
●The signal to start is the word "Go!!" at the end of the DDC official speed BGM: "Double Dutch Contest. Speed. Judges ready? Jumpers ready? On your mark, Get set, Go!!" ●The signal to stop is when the buzzer sounds after 30 seconds. ●The BGM has a countdown at the end of the 30 seconds, so at 20 seconds into the time you will hear "Ten," and for the last 5 seconds, "Five, Four, Three, Two, One." ●The official speed BGM can be downloaded from the DDC website: 
|
| 【 PROCEDURE 】 |
1. The turners have the ropes completely still. The jumper waits to the right of the turner. 2. After the turners hear the start signal, they begin turning the ropes. The ropes should be turned in an alternating inward fashion, known as basic double dutch turning. 3. The jumper enters the ropes turned by the turners, and jumps in the "jogging step" style. 4. The event ends when the 30 second stop buzzer sounds. ●The jumper must jump facing the direction determined by the DOUBLE DUTCH CONTEST Executive Committee. ●If the ropes stop due to a mistake made during the event, the turners may begin turning the ropes again. There is no point deduction for mistakes. ●If the jumper gets caught on the ropes when the buzzer sounds, the jumper does not need to enter the ropes again and do a clean exit. There is no point deduction for mistakes. |
|
【 JUDGING METHOD 】 |
●The jumping style is the "jogging step," and each time the jumper's left foot touches the ground, one step will be counted for 30 seconds. Three judges will count each jumper, and the closest two scores of the three will be averaged to determine the official score. (Example) "Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot" = 3 jumps |
| 【 DEDUCTIONS 】 |
●The turners and jumper should not move during the time period between the DDC speed's BGM words "Get set" and "Go." If the judges determine that it is obvious that during that time the jumper or turners began moving, or the jumper went over the start line, or the turners started turning the ropes, then the team will receive a "false start" deduction of 5 jumps from their total number of jumps. ●Each time actions which disturb or inhibit the judges from judging are made, the team will receive a deduction of 5 jumps from their total number of jumps. |
|
●What to do if the jumper makes a mistake and re-enters the ropes (*2015 new rule) If the ropes get caught during the event, there is no specific method for how the jumper must begin jumping again. It is fine if the jumper does not "leave the ropes" or "return to the position of the turner." There is also no deduction. However, as specified in the DOUBLE DUTCH CONTEST WORLD 2016 Contest Rules "3. Prohibited Acts," any acts which intentionally interfere with other teams will cause that team to be disqualified, so please be careful. |
