WAG Level 9 beam questions

[gym10.0]

Would a handstand on beam fulfill the front/side acro requirement in level 9?

If not, any ideas on how to fulfill this requirement? She is not flexible enough to do a front walkover or front aerial.

I dont think there is a requirement for different directions for acros in level 9

If there is, I’m pretty sure it would need to be a flight skill such as a front handspring, front tuck, front toss or side aerial

Would this routine meet all of the composition requirements? What would the start value be?:

Full turn; back handspring, back layout step-out series; switch-leap, wolf jump connection; back tuck; split jump, beat jump connection; back handspring step out, back handspring, back layout dismount.

Not sure if a handstand works, but I know a cartwheel, round off or front walkover would. It’s a .1 composition deduction to not have acro in 2 different directions.

Handstand does not count
