WAG Level 7 music length and passes

[munchkin3]

So what is the perfect time for L7 music and how many passes for a GOOD routine???
2 or 3 passes?

 

[MeetDirector]

3 passes. 1:20 - 1:25.

Our coaches only allow 2 passes at L7 and L8. Less room for deductions. Our gym had four region 3 Floor champs, and 8 more who finished top 3 at regionals. (almost our entire team) I would say it is an effective strategy. It's a different philosophy than some gyms who want that third pass. I think the music is about 1 minute.

My DDs gym does two passes at L7 and three at L8. They use two cuts of the same music. My DDs L7 music is 1:06.

My dd had 2 passes at level 7 and 8. Music around 1:10. This philosophy has always produced good results as well.

 

[AWOL]

My daughter used 2 passes up to level 10. She medaled at regional at L9. She also was first at some invitationals.

 

[QueenBee]

2 passes, music length about 1:20. A couple state/regional floor champions every year with the 2 passes. As with all events, competing the cleanest routine that meets level requirements seems to be the philosophy.

3 passes not necessary at all for great floor scores. There be good reasons to do three but scoring high is not one of them.

Dd's was 1:16 in levels 6 and 7.

It's 1:30 in level 8

2 passes keep it around 1:10 or so. Less is more! Do bare minimum and do it well.

 

[Lisbeth]

DD used 2 passes in L7 and L8.
Music length, as requested by coach, was one minute.

 

[SurpriseGymMom]

DDs L7 routine is 1:12, 2 passes. HC says most gyms in our region seems to be going w the same for L8.

 

[rjb123]

DD did three passes. Most in our region did three from what I saw.

 

[Tuppy]

Both 2 and 3 passes. Depended on the girl. Sometimes depended on the day and meet. The routines were always being fine tuned. For states and regionals, some girls even added more complicated elements. The girls were happy and all the parents were proud.

 

[LizzieLac]

Can someone describe what the two passes would be in level 7 and 8? We seem to always do 3 (and score well).

 

[thefellowsmom]

My dd did

Level 7 - round off bhs layout and front handspring front pike
Level 8 - round off bhs full and punch front layout front tuck.

I was worried about an up to level deduction at level 8 especially at state and regionals since most people do three passes but she scored above 9.5 at both meets so no problems there.
