Men's Vault Difficulty Scores

[MoonKid]

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what vault(s) have 6.2 difficulty score in the Men's FIG Code of Points.

Thanks.

Off the top of my head, I believe they are:

Handspring layout 3/2
Yurchenko layout 2/1
Tsuk layout 2/1 (or Kaz layout 1/1)
Yurchenko 1/2 on front layout 1/1 off (I'm not positive about this one; it might be a 6.0)

That's all going from memory, so I might be wrong on some of those; I'll doublecheck later and get back to you.

What's the difference between a Tsuk and a Kaz? I recall it being explained by a commentator at one Worlds, but I don't remember offhand.

Generally, a tsuk-type vault will twist in the same direction in postflight as in preflight. In a kaz-type vault, the gymnast changes directions.

More specifically, a tsuk refers to 1/2 on, back salto off or 1/4 on, 1/4 and back salto off. A kaz specifically refers to a 1/4 on, 3/4 off in the opposite direction (which looks very much like a tsuk 1/1, and is scored the same way).

So a kaz is like a tsuk 1/1, but twists the opposite direction. A kaz 1/1 is like a tsuk 2/1, but again, twists the opposite direction.
