WAG Question for a USAIGC judge?

Angle is from the lowest part of body I’m pretty sure.

And this is not meant to worry you because my kids casts when she did Silver pretty much s*cked and she was not doing giants. IGC Silver Bars were the hardest scoring of all the levels we have seen so far. In IGC, Xcel and JO. Due to the wide variety of allowable skills. That said, I think Little Puma will fair OK because she is doing giants. None of our kids were at the time we did Silver.

Really?! Wow! Oh man, I thought we were done with tough scoring after L5...sigh...lol Well, the good news is that bars is the biggest difference I’ve seen between JO and IGC. The talent pool isn’t as deep in IGC in general, but it’s most evident on bars in my opinion so far. So though Puma Jr certainly doesn’t have as clean of form as most JO kids with similar routines, hopefully she’ll do ok for IGC Silver. She is state champ for Bronze bars. And you’re right-I don’t believe any of our Silvers did giants last year, but that’s what the gym wants to be a specialist. Puma Jr says there is one second year Silver planning on competing them this year. Thanks for everyone’s input!
