Anon Xcel sapphire=what level

[Anonymous (ed6e)]

What level is Xcel sapphire equivalent to? I’ve always heard level 9-10. But, are the bare minimum sapphire skills more like level 7 or 8? My daughter might compete sapphire and I wanted to see what the bare minimum skills would look like. I have a better idea of what level 7-8-9 skills look like than sapphire skills.

Level 9-ish, iirc? I'll double check the rules when I get a chance

Thank you! Also is it true that in sapphire scoring you have to compete harder skills to get to a 10 start value? So, easier skills would have a lower start value? You need harder skills executed clean to get a good score, correct?

I think bare minimum would fall more into 8-ish vs. 7-ish.

I think the "base" sapphire is less than level 9, but a little bit harder than 8, certainly quite a leap from 7.
