    My daughter completes xcel gold...the last 2 meets she has received a 9.5 start value. Her cast seems above horizontal (slightly pikey- but still above horizontal) . Her tap swings could be a little higher. She does a tap swing half turn (L4) dismount. Is there any way that they are not...

    WAG Dance/jump series for 6/7 &/Gold

    My question pertains to both beam and floor for levels 6, 7 and Xcel Gold. I am having some trouble interpreting the cheat sheet charts. I would like to know if there is a deduction for not connecting jumps on beam. Also for floor level 6/7 it says indirect connection is OK for leap/jump series...

    And I say HA only because she wasn't going to compete tramp this year, but had a change of heart. Last year she was consistently middle to bottom of the pack. Last qualifier she was 3rd and this time she won! Happy shocker! She also placed 3rd on Double mini, which was the opposite kind of...
