WAG HOPEs championships question

[Jard.the.gymnast]

I am kinda late with this, but why were there so many split jumps with a half turn starting (and ending) in Side position on beam? It looks like a really risky Skill for a pretty low value...

In the new code, those half turning split jumps are worth more when you start/finish sideways. It's playing the code.

I just looked at the new FIG code. All beam jumps go up one D-value when performed from side position.
