WAG Beam Level Torso requirement

[Dora Cola]

Does your torso have have to touch the beam in level 9/10? See many girl not doing this but coach said it's required. Confused.

it's called a "down on the beam". yes, they have to do it.

What is the deduction is if they are missing it? Oh, and any idea how a kid might gently suggest to to an input-challenged coach that they add it in?

It's an up to 0.10 deduction. A good percentage of girls will do their "down on beam" part right after their mount. A simple sitting pose right after the mount would satisfy it.

Thank you dunno!

In was told hat it has to be part of a move now, they can't just do the sit down get up thing. But also that sitting on the beam in some way, like straddled or otherwise counts, because the bottom counts as torso. Like I think they used to lay down on the beam but they now don't have to go that far down.

And I was told by someone not a coach so there is my disclaimer, lol.

well it turns out that i'm the dummy, she does have a "fancy sitting move" that fulfiills the requirement. i just thought that since none of our girls lay down on the beam, they were all missing it!

Well, this is often why we come to chalk bucket. So we can work out our confusion. Glad the part is not missing from her routine.
