I don't have much experience with this, but who regulates the safety of foam pits? Does USAG have standards? We have been at gyms that have pits with dangerously low levels of foam in their pits and it is shocking to think that kids would actually be working high level skills in these pits...

Note: These are well-known gyms so I've tried to not provide any identifying information.

Beam deductions

Hi everyone! I’m hoping to get some help understanding my deductions on beam. I’ve been watching my videos back, but I’m having trouble figuring out exactly where the judges are taking the most off. If anyone is willing to take a look and give me some feedback, I’d really appreciate it. I’m especially curious about execution deductions, rhythm/connection issues, and anything in my acro or dance that might be costing me. The judge started me at a 10 for this routine, and I got a 9.1
