My daughter will never be an elite, but I enjoy watching the elite competitions and am trying to understand the difficulty score.
How much harder is it to go from a difficulty of , say, 5.2 - 5.4 in terms that a level 8 mom can understand? Is it like going from a level 4 to level 5 in JO? Or is it like changing a back tuck to a back layout on floor? Is the letter equivalent to a decimal point - ie. going from an A to a B skill will increase you by .2 ? Or is it something about connecting two skills?
Also, is the increase in difficulty per score linear or exponential as you go higher. ie. is it harder to go from a 6.2 to 6.4 than a 5.2 to 5.4 ?
