In every single judging course i've ever done they've said some iteration of: "If you're questioning something yourself, err on the side of the team" - so I wouldn't take anything for that. It's really about consistency, you can be a stickler or fairly lenient but you have to judge it the same way throughout
ETA: he makes contact with the ground with both feet before rolling to his back in a controlled manner for his motion, that to me is a completed skill with motion - whether that's actually choreographed or not doesn't really matter in my eyes
Yeah by “choreographed” I just mean, “Can we argue he was supposed to roll backward and that it wasn’t a mistake?” and playing on the “If you mess up just keep going because the judges won’t necessarily know if you made a mistake” strategy.
