    Anon Xcel Code of Points (Beam)

    Yes it is in the Xcel Code. Element 7.106

    Anon Back step out on beam or two back walkovers for states

    I will always vote for the single flight skill vs the connection. If you’ve been told there is a rhythm deduction that means there is a chance the two skills might not be considered connected. That would be another .5. As long as she lands on the beam her BHS is a safer option for her SV. AND as...

    WAG Can a cuervo be done as a l9 vault?

    You are correct that the Cuervo is not on the L9 vault chart, so it wouldn't be an allowable vault for that level. It is #2.303 in the code and has a 9.9 SV at L10. A Tsuk layout has a 10 SV at L9 and a 9.7 SV at L10.

    WAG How many deductions for hitting your feet on the bar?

    It is a flat .2 deduction for hitting the apparatus with foot/feet. This would be in addition to the fall deduction of .5. So .7 in flat deductions and then you would also likely have some execution deductions on the way down. Hopefully you made it to your feet first for landing, otherwise it...

    WAG Roundoff Dismount (9.103)

    There is not a one armed round-off dismount in the code. I honestly don't know what I would do with that if I saw it. I imagine there would be execution deductions (amplitude, body shape, etc) I would also imagine there could be an argument to say it wasn't an actual dismount, which would make a...

    Coaches Silver Question need answered

    There is no restriction on going to HB. They cannot do salto dismounts, so don't go to HB and do a flyaway. That would result in a significant impact on their SV. But just going to HB and doing tap swings and the turn dismount would just incur execution deductions depending on how well they are...

    Parents Lower Level Compulsory Judging

    Here is one of my sheets from L5 beam. Lots of skills and plenty of specific deductions. You can see my skill shorthand and then the execution deductions underneath (or sometimes on top) of them. I use my own shorthand for execution so I know what the deductions are for. I do a parent...

    Coaches Xcel Gold bar changes for 2022-2023

    The back hip circle can absolutely count twice. It just cannot count twice if it is in the exact same connection. That is the same on all events at every level. So if the routine went cast, BHC, BHC, cast then the second BHC has a different entrance or exit than the first one and counts. I’m...

    Coaches Xcel Gold bar changes for 2022-2023

    General/Page 4 D. Xcel Code of Points elements can be recognized two (2) times for Value Part credit provided the element occurs in a different connection, (i.e., preceded or followed by a different element). 1. Exception for Floor Exercise only: Acro Flight elements with hand support: a. Are...

    Coaches Xcel Gold bar changes for 2022-2023

    Be careful that the second BHC has a different entrance or exit. You only get credit for a skill the second time it is performed if the entrance or exit is different than the first time. So cast BHC, cast BHC, cast would be exactly the same and only be considered one circle, as the second BHC...

    WAG Level 7 Floor Question

    Just an FYI, the SRs for L7 have changed in the new code. The tumbling requirement is now: Minimum of 2 acro passes -1 with salto backward, minimum of 2 directly connected flight elements -1 with salto forward (additional elements allowed) -1 salto (forward or backward) must be stretched (no...

    WAG Would this work as an xcel silver bar routine?

    The routine from the OP would have a 10 SV. But, a cast into an underswing dismount can be difficult, vs the underswing coming from a back hip. I would imagine a coach would prefer a different dismount if it is proceeded by a cast. But again the routine has 5 counting skills, a cast (has to be...

    WAG Xcel silver bars

    No this routine is missing the Special Requirement of having 5 skills in the routine. It would start at a 9.5.

    WAG Is a backwards pass needed?

    Thank you! I checked some boxes...hopefully it will help. I have had the pleasure of judging this athlete in person:)

    WAG Is a backwards pass needed?

    A Tucked Tsuk comes out of a 10.0 SV regardless of how tucked it is...unless it is so untucked it may be called a different shape than a tuck. But, in L8 only tucks and pikes are allowed.
