That was how I read it, but everyone else on here says that they still get a deduction (like all the Optional Levels) if the cast doesn't hit or come close to Handstand. Also, you have to remember that what they said in the past (as far back as early summer) does not even necessarily apply now- there have been a lot of changes, lol.Looking over old congress notes and I read that the compositional deductions do not apply to level 6 as the other optional levels. But Im getting mixed messages. The SR cast in level 6 should not get the up to .3 deduction if not to handstand. I guess I will find out this weekend one way or another.
I was just on the USAG website. I looked at the most recent pages available for download...That was how I read it, but everyone else on here says that they still get a deduction (like all the Optional Levels) if the cast doesn't hit or come close to Handstand.

Can you please specify what pages say a 45 degree cast is an A skill?I was just on the USAG website. I looked at the most recent pages available for download...
A cast as required in Level 7 (45º from vertical) is considered an "A" Skill... so they are not REQUIRED to hit Handstand!!!!! Cast Handstand (or within 20º is considered a "B" Skill!
In Level 6, there should not be too much of a deduction as long as they are above horizontal, but it won't count for an "A" unless they hit 45º AND it could be up to 0.2 amplitude deduction.

If you read the text it says "with 1/2 turn (cast and turn occur on same side of bar). Then look at the picture..it's not demonstrating just a cast. It's a cast with a 1/2 turn. A cast that is not within 20 degrees of vertical gets no value part in USAG.
I read it wrong (as OR together with a half turn), lol... then I guess everyone that can't cast high enough should just do a cast with a 1/2 turn...If you read the text it says "with 1/2 turn (cast and turn occur on same side of bar).

Coach2400 - Had a few girls compete the 9.9 start value routine today with scores in the high 8's, with cast and clear hip only about horizontal or slightly above. So if your girls are casting higher, would expect a little higher. Saw a mix of this routine and the clear hip on low, kip cast to flyaway on high. Scores for the 2 routines very similar, dependent mostly on cast heights.Arrived in Reno a few hours ago. I guess I'll find out tomorrow what level 6 bars will look like. We have three routines ready to throw. Hopefully we do beam or floor first so I have time to watch the other level 6 bar routines. They want to do the easiest routine naturally because its the cleanest. All the coaches in my area did not have clear answers as to what they were expecting to see. I'll share when I know more tomorrow. First meet of the season for us. So is there an A cast or do we agree there's not? Without the A cast our start value will not be out of a 10 but if A's are worth.. Shoot Im now forgetting, is it one tenth or two? My COP is left at home. Im going to get some Zzz's. love when your session starts at noon
