Parents L5/L6 cast angles

[mommyof1]

Can someone please clarify the cast angle requirements for L5 and L6? The more I google, the more confused I get.

Even though Levels 6 not being asked to cast to a handstand, their casts will be evaluated as if they are supposed to be casting to a handstand as in Levels 8-10.

So that actually changed last year and is no longer true. To the OP, cast for level 5 must be above horizontal. For level 6, to get credit, it must also be above horizontal. To not receive an amplitude deduction, it must be 45 degrees above horizontal.

That Gym Blog Central thing was what actually got me confused!

To clarify, in Level 6, the cast must be above horizontal to fulfill the Special Requirement. There is no amplitude deductions if it is 45 degrees or higher from vertical. Level 5 must be above horizontal.
