My coach has all of us level 8's do two acro skills in our beam routine (usually bhs and ro) and has us put one in a series. I've been told that there is a small deduction if your only have acro/flight in the backwards direction and not in the front/side way. Is this true? If I only had a back handspring or a roundoff in my beam routine would I get docked points? I've noticed that in most meets a girl will do a bhs in their series and a round off dismount, but is this done to fulfill this requirement or just for the convenient dismount?
On a related note, if it is true, would front walkover fulfill the requirement for forward moving acro or would i have to upgrade that to a front handspring?
Thanks in advance!
