Pommel Horse Rules
Pommel horse rules: circles, scissors, handstands, limits on repeating elements, and repeating the dismount. Each rule is shown as it is today, with the article it comes from. Where a newsletter changed a rule, the page says so.
Unofficial summary. The FIG Code of Points and its newsletters are the authority; every rule links to its page there.
