Women 9.5 starting value for weird reason?

[JClaire21]

Today was my first meet and I got a 9.5 starting value because I had "a broken dance pass". What the heck does that mean???

Broken dance pass? No clue unless you were supposed to connect 2 jumps together

If two skills are meant to be connected together and the is too much of a pause between them this is considered a broken dance pass.

Also if a dance pass is meant to have two or more skills and one skill is left out, or if one of the skills does not count because it did not meet them I nummulites requirements (example not enough split in a split leap). This too would be considered a broken dance pas.

We had that in our last meet. Most of the girls at the meet that were required to have a dance series as a special requirement didn't get credit for it... so their Start Values were all lower by 0.5 from what they were used to. It's all about connections - you have to connect the series. (My OG lost her connection because her back heel moved as she was going into the 2nd jump).
