The Women's NCAA Rule Modifications for 2021-2022 have been published. There are virtually no changes for the 2022 season. The sole requirements change is that two tumbling pass routines on the floor must now contain a D element in one pass and a minimum D or 0.2 bonus connection in the second pass, in any order. Two pass routines that do not comply will suffer the 0.1 "up to the level" deduction. Most two pass routines already complied. A routine with a Rudi and back layout 1 1/2 twist to front layout will meet the requirement. The same routine with a front pike instead of the front layout will not.
