Except it's supposed to be credited VP if it's over horizontal. It's gotta be SO over, in our experience, that no judge could question it though. DD never got credit once all season but it was clear to everyone that watched videos/saw pics that she got to just above horizontal. At least 45 above horizontal is best, IMO.View attachment 6194 This is a confusing one, you're not crazy! Basically, yes. All casts in optionals will be deducted if they are not to HS, but as long as it is horizontal, it will get the VP. (Correct me if I'm wrong, everyone!) In our area at least, most L6s do not cast to HS though and take the hit.
ETA: I actually think it has to be at least 45 above horizontal to get VP....it's confusing!
Thank you! So what happens if it's above hortizontal but more than 20 degrees from vertical? Obviously a higher deduction, but what exactly does it mean to not get VP credit?That A cast is a cast with half turn from 21 to 45 degrees from vertical. There is no longer an A value regular cast. Within 20 degrees of vertical is a B.

If they don't get value part credit, it means they start out of a 9.5 instead of a 10.0Thank you! So what happens if it's above hortizontal but more than 20 degrees from vertical? Obviously a higher deduction, but what exactly does it mean to not get VP credit?
This is interesting! Puma Jr is still L4, so I may not be well enough informed, but I have heard the opinion that in some ways L6 is easier than L5? I've just been wondering (not that it's my call) if my kid would do better in L6 since it's pretty much the same skill set but you could hide her weaknesses and show off her strengths. I kind of think she'd do better with an optional routine than battling the little intricacies of a compulsory routine that a judge has seen a million times and knows what it is supposed to look like. I should probably start a new thread here....sorry!!Oh, and don't forget people, that free hip......MUST be minimum to horizontal.....if not, you get no credit again and the kid gets creamed again.
I think of level 6 like level 5 but with NO excuses.....
