Hi,
I'm not sure if anyone else has already asked this question as I have not been on chalkbucket often as of late.
I was wondering about the reasoning behind devaluing the front handspring vault in Xcel Platinum to a 9.8 start value. Platinum is not equivalent to level 7, so why is our front handspring vault worth a 9.8 when theirs is worth a 10? Not trying to complain really, just trying to understand this change. Is USAG just trying to encourage more of a variety in vaults in Platinum? Or make Platinum closer to Diamond in skill level? Or something else entirely?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this.
