WAG Level 9 Skills - beam and floor

[Gymmom0403]

My dd competed level 9 last year. She did a yurcheko layout on vault
Bars was - mount to high bar, kip cast hs, clear hip hs, bail, kip cast squat on, jump to high bar, kip cast hs, giant full connected to double back
Floor first pass was double pike, second front lay front lay, third was whip double full. Not sure her jumps and leaps and stuff -- I can't remember all that. I think she did connected 2 popa (?).
Beam she did a bhs-blo. Switch leap connected to back tuck full turn jump combo (beat jump wolf jump maybe?) and a layout full dismount

She seemed to have a higher difficulty on floor than most routines I saw. But I am not up to speed on connections and all that -- I leave that stuff up to the coaches

Yes, i meant on floor. The roundoff to 1.5 itself doesn't get anything. If you connect a front salto to it, you can though. C+A is 0.1 bonus, C+B is 0.2 ,so i believe a front tuck or pike Will give 0.1. Front layout is 0.2

Oops! I guess I should have clarified. Yes a roundoff 1.5 on floor isn't considered a connection on floor because connection for bonus only includes hands free skills.

If you punch out of it then it can count as bonus and almost every level 9 has a pass like this in their routine. A tuck out of it is an A skill for .1 bonus. A pike is actually a B skill and so is a front layout so those are both worth .2 in bonus.

I would say the vast majority of level nines do a 1.5 punch front pike in their routine.

Dd and I were just talking about how a 1.5 front layout isn't worth more than the pike. Just nutty.

Level 9 is where you can really see how optionals work, in that routines can be very different from one another. You have a lot more options for variety in L9 than previous levels, so there's not really such a thing as a standard routine...you can essentially do any skill as long as it isn't a disallowed D value. I've tried to show relatively standard options but there are many more skills that you can also do (for example, on beam, a Valdez, a one-arm front handspring, a front tuck to sit). Also what is harder or easier for a given gymnast varies so one gymnast might find it relatively easy to compete, say, a side aerial on beam in her first year of L9, while another gymnast might need to work on the same skill for two years before being able to put it in her routine.
