I just want to start off and say that the teams that got the bids clearly deserve their full paids with the amount of skill and creativity they have. This is more of a rant at legality judges not doing their job and not deducting points probably due to lack of knowledge. Or feel free to correct me.
I will start off with the ruling, then the skills performed. Then post a clarification convo I had with les to justify my cases.
The main reason this is an issue for me is that we want to train industry judges to do comparative, yet they fail to enforce performance rules...
LEVEL 5 STANDING TUMBLING
1. the skills that were performed was a single handspring full whip double, which in the clarification says that the full must meet requirements of D which it does not cuz there is only 1 skill prior.
Number 2. Another coed team performing a handspring whip whip double. This is the one most ppl will argue with me, so I will show my les convo in the next post.
Thoughts to fix legality judging training?

LEVEL 5 STANDING TUMBLING
- Skills are allowed up to 1 flipping and 2 twisting rotations.
- Tumbling skills involving flipping and twisting immediately into a double twisting tumbling skill are not allowed.
- Twisting skills immediately out of a double twisting tumbling skill are not allowed.
- (In Standing Tumbling only) Skills involving more than one twist (i.e. Double fulls) must be immediately preceded by a minimum of two backward traveling, non-twisting tumbling skills. One of these two skills must be a back handspring. (Jump skills are not considered tumbling skills. i.e. toe touch > back handspring > double full = illegal)
Clarification: Handstands are not “backward traveling” tumbling skills. Therefore, back extension rolls do not count as the “backward traveling” tumbling skills required before a double full.
Clarification: If an athlete is performing a second double full within one Standing Tumbling pass, then that athlete must follow Standing Tumbling rules A,B and C but not D.
Example: standing back handspring>back handspring>double full>back handspring>double full=Legal
Clarification: If the requirements in “D” are met before performing a single full, then only letters A, B and C need to be followed.
Example: standing back handspring>back handspring>SINGLE full>back handspring>double
full=Legal

) should be better trained especially in the whole issue of tumbling (standing running etc) and whats legal or not legal cause the loopholes are enough to cause a sinkhole in the whole rulebook.... omg my head hurts lol :deathdrop:
