The Bailey on PH is no longer listed in the FIG. Additionally, it use to be a J.O. exception as a "C" value flop. However, this is no longer true either....
So, what is a Bailey? Does it fall in the Kher element group, or the pommel loop element group? Why is it no longer a J.O. exception?
This discussion happened more than once during last season between coaches and judges, in fact many of the discussions became rather animated.
The discussion was finally resolved when I received an email from one of the J.O. program heads. He clarified that the Bailey was no longer a J.O. exception "C" value flop. It was instead defined as a "B" value pommel loop.
Just wondering what everyone else's thoughts on this matter was?
