New Music Guidelines for 2015

With the new year comes new guidelines. Here is the updated naming convention for music in Manitoba from score2u.info

To make it easy to match a music file to a gymnast’s routine, the following naming convention must be followed (As an example: Jane Doe – rope – CAN Club Elite – Rocky by Bill Conti.mp3):

  1. Name (i.e. Jane Doe, the official athlete’s name that would have used for registration and scoring purposes)
  2. Apparatus (i.e. one of rope, hoop, ball, clubs, ribbon, free or group, )
  3. Team/club abbreviated name – this is not used for music file matching but but required because of FIG CD labelling standard.
  4. Title and Composer – this is not used for music file matching but required because of FIG CD labelling standard.
