I'm coming from a small gym where we have never competed in DP before (I'm petitioning in) so it's been hard to understand all of the rules and requirements perfectly. Currently my bar routine is Kip, handstand, pak salto, kip, handstand 1/2 pirouette, kip, jump to high, kip, handstand, giant, giant, double fly-away. Will I need to have a free hip handstand or something else or is that routine all set for requirements and bonus? Thanks!
 
I’m not a judge, so someone please correct me if I’m getting this wrong, but I believe this routine as is would have only .1 of bonus and .1 in composition deductions. So highest score would be a 9.7 if done perfectly.

If you added a clearhip handstand before the pak that would fix the composition and give another .1 of bonus. You’d still be at a 9.9, so would need another bonus to be at a 10. Lots of girls at level 9 don’t have full bonus and 0 composition deductions though.
