Hi, I understand one can be an event specialist starting at L8 (can before as well, but not really done at L6/L7). Assuming one is not trying to get a college scholarship what are the pros and cons of this? I think it happens anyway relatively frequently as one gets to the higher levels? A...

She’s kind of tried but doesn’t love that either …. She’s not going to the Olympics :) so the idea is to just make it fun while it lasts, but give her optionality to continue with the sport if she chooses… which means getting the mobility/state score.

Thanks all! She has bad mental blocks (they’ve been going on for years, have done and not done everything and anything) so at this point the choices are 1) quit or 2) get a basic beam score to get mobility and state qualifying scores, and aim to be an event specialist on the three other events...

And I’m wondering if one literally doesn’t do one required skill, what’s the deduction for just not doing it? :) I guess I’m missing the deduction for not doing an Acro skill so maybe it’s 0.5 off for no connection, 0.3 off for missing B skill and another something - maybe 0.5 off?- for no acro...

I think if she does the HS and then stops, no connection, then BHS she loses 0.5 for no connection, but gets credit for the A and B skills? If she doesn’t do the handstand she’ll lose that A value (-0.1) and also the 0.5 for no connection? But this is all a guess…. There must be more deductions??

Thanks, assuming they have all the other requirements (including another B skill). I’m guessing there are more deductions for just not doing a skill but I don’t know what….

Hi, wondering if someone can help me understand. If a L7 gymnast is supposed to do a HS BHS (connected) on beam to satisfy the requirement, what would be the deduction if the gymnast doesn’t do the BHS? 0.5 for no connection and 0.3 for no B skill? Is that it? What’s the deduction for just not...
