Hi my sister (age 10 level 9) has been told to compete her pak this season. She has trained a perfect pak but can also do a brilliant overshoot. She says overshoot is easier for her to do and she thinks she would get less deductions and an easier routine if she competes that. She has an in-house meet in 2 wks.
All her teammates are competing overshoots, she is the only one singled out to compete a pak.
I want to know is there any difference score-wise between a pak and an overshoot?
Do you have any idea why she was singled out to do a pak i.e. why did the coach choose her?
Also, she has been training Bhs + bls + bls on beam for level 10 next year. She has that almost perfect! (She's very strong on beam) Would there be any advantage for her to compete that this year (level 9) i.e. would she get a higher SV? Coach allows her to compete it but not sure if its worth the deductions as she doesn't have it perfect yet. She doesnt fall off the beam when doing it, but has bent knees on the last lay etc.
Coach has been off for the last 2 wks (quarantine) so they are just finishing off working out their routines!
Thanks for taking you time to answer my questions!
