Level 7 Uneven Bar Coaches and Judges Beware!

Some routines from the last cycle will NOT fulfill the requirements of this new cycle. Remember Level 7 is now an optional level and a specific number of value parts (2 B’s, and 5A’s) are required instead of just including certain skill requirements.

 
Example:

Routine #1: glide kip (a), cast (a), clear hip circle (b), glide kip (a), clear hip circle (0), glide kip (0), cast squat on (a), long hang kip (a) cast (0), layout flyaway (a).


IF both casts on the low bar are the same amplitude, the 2nd clear hip circle is preceded and followed by the same elements as the 1st clear hip circle; therefore, it would not receive VP credit. Since you cannot use an element that does not receive value part credit to fulfill a Special Requirement, this routine would be missing the SR of a 2nd circling element (-.5), and would also be missing one B, a -.3 deduction, for a 9.2 start value.

The ONLY way this connection could work is if the 2 casts were performed with different amplitude, causing one to be an A, and the other a B. 

Below are two examples of Level 7 routines that would fulfill all difficulty and Special Requirements.

       Routine #2: glide kip (a), cast (a), clear hip circle (b), clear hip circle (b), glide kip (a) , cast squat on (a), long hang kip (a), cast (0), layout flyaway. (a)

      Routine #3: glide kip (a), cast (a), clear hip circle (b), glide kip(a), cast squat on (a), long hang kip (a), cast (a), clear hip circle (b), long hang kip (a), cast(0), layout flyaway (a).
 

ALSO-- any routine that contains one clear hip circle and one giant will easily solve the problem of performing enough B elements and circles.
