If you don't mind I would like to add another question about level 7 bars into this discussion. I'm pretty sure I know the answer but I second guess myself. If a level 7 performs the following routine, is this enough elements and would they start from a 10?

The first thing we did was attend Metzger's Small Business Boot Camp. The second thing we did was write a business plan. We already knew where we wanted to be location wise. Very affluent city with no other gymnastics program at the time (It was a no brainer!). There were a few retail locations...
We typically co-coach our classes. If the events we are doing that day are Vault, Bars, and Tramp, one coach will work on Bars with both groups, one will work on Vault with both groups and they will each coach a Trampoline rotation. We also coach the same event every week with the same class...
