While to some extent I do agree about building being worth more because it IS what separates us from being just high-flying gymnastics, I also prefer to be well-rounded. Granted, only two things make up building (and they're big parts), but at least 3 things make up tumbling, correct? Standing, running, and jumps? I suppose it makes sense in that regard, with pyramids and stunts being in building and worth 20% each and all of the tumbling things worth 10% total. Some part of it irks me, but mathematically it makes sense like that.
I don't know if I'm having an opinion or just typing out my thoughts.. :D
Standing is to Running as Pyramids is to Stunting.
Jumps and baskets share one main thing, they are execution skills. The timing of them done together in unison is where their difficulty comes in.
