Hi! I am currently a second year platinum and my coaches are planning on scoring me out of diamond and going to sapphire next season. I was wondering if any coaches/current sapphires could give me lists of skills I need for sapphire? My coaches have only ever coached up to Diamond. I am hoping to start at a ten start value on all events if possible. These are my current skills/upgrades in the last season:
Bars: giants, layout flyaway, working in double backs and pirouettes and clear hands
Vault: Half on full off, working on tsuk, currently have it with mat in pit
Beam: cartwheel roundoff, switch leap, working on switch side and maybe a front full dismount but very much a work in progress
Floor: Front tuck front pike, ro bhs layout, double turn, switch side to straddle full, working on front and back fulls.

Will I be able to get a ten start value on all events looking considering my skills? I’m especially worried about beam and floor. I was working on back tucks on beam but I doubt it’ll be ready for next season. Is it needed for me to have a salto?

Thank you so much for any help or advice!!
 
What's the reason for scoring out instead of just competing diamond? It very much sounds like you could compete diamond while training for sapphire. The 1/2 on full off is a 9.9 start in diamond, 9.6 in sapphire. For the tsuk to be a 10.0 start in sapphire, it would have to be a pike or layout, tuck is 9.9.

Sapphire requires a B dismount for bars or for a C connection into your layout flyaway.

Beam does require a B dismount or for your flight acro to connect to your dismount.

Floor is the one I think you actually have right now - 3 different saltos, 1 B Salto, one pass with two saltos, a C (straddle full), passage of dance, double turn.
