Good luck to you too! We compete Saturday Session.

When we have early AM meets typically we have to get up hours and hours early! So it seems more like noon!

In level 7 you want to do the least hard skills you can do. Stick with the basics because everything comes from a 10.0 you want to do the easy skills that way you will have little deduction.

Although i think having a full is great and a must have for level 8 I dont think you should compete it in level 7. But you most definatley need a layout to two feet that is one of the requirements

post a youtube of here routine and I coul help show you were her deduction are coming from!

As a gymnast I would say keep the full. If her full is good enough there is no reason to take it out. When i competed level seven I kept my full in my routine and scored low to mid 9's. She will not get anything extra for the full however it shows the judges that she is doing harder skills. One theory my coach has (i dont know if it is true) is that if you do a harder skill and then mess up on a turn or leap or something they wont be as hard. Now whether that is true or not I dont know. Also not many 7s compete fulls so it shows diversity and the more practice the better, its getting you ready for level 8.

It depends on if your full is good and if you have good endurance. If you have good endurance and a good full, why take it out? Personally, you can still get a deduction on a tuck-open in my opinion, more so than a layout or full if you don't open at the right time and you look off. If your endurance is poor/bad, TAKE IT OUT!!! That means that you are doing a layout at the end when you are tired and that can lead to more deductions. You are getting your last pass compared to the first pass of many other level 7's and if its bad, b/c of poor endurance, you will get hammered.
Other deductions that could lead to low 8's that you don't quite notice as much:
-DANCE: artistry, some level 7's really get deducted
-Jumps/Leaps/Turns: where you finish, height, form...
*I agree with the YOUTUBE thing!
HOPE THIS HELPED!
