From what I can tell there really weren't any real changes necessarily just clarifying for the most part

Clarifications technically but I think it may affect some things. Right now another coach and I are trying to determine if twisting front flips that are braced by the backspot are still legal.
In pyramids the clarification says twisting mounts and transitions are allowed up to one twist and must be connected to two bracers at prep level or below. Does this cancel out the suspended forward roll rule that allows the backspot to be the only brace for the flyer?
Can I say that I like the clarifications about rules but I wish we could have gotten all of this settled before this point in the year? It's enough to make a coach poo their pants seeing rules "updates" 2 weeks before our first competition. I have enough routine stress in my life.:mad:
I don't see these as changes, but are clarifications. If this didn't come out, you would have to wonder about the interpretation and it might cause different judges to rule differently at each event.
Let me know what you find out with this- I was wondering the same thing.Clarifications technically but I think it may affect some things. Right now another coach and I are trying to determine if twisting front flips that are braced by the backspot are still legal.

Thank you! Like @FamousMatty said it's a big component in our pyramid and I was afraid that having only ONE base (backspot) bracing the flyer made it illegal bc it clarifies TWO bracers at prep or below. The flyers don't brace each other, they're only braced by their backspot and the bases toss then move to catch.
I'm just so gun-shy after last season when my youth 2 was on a perfect season run and ended up getting called out for legalities at their last two comps. The legalities were very minor technical things that had not been caught by anyone all year. We dropped from first to third both times that happened. It's a gut punch to me bc that's actually MY deduction, not theirs.
CGAcheer said:There's going to be one in ours as well, but it's not released, and it's legal in stunts.
The clarifications for 3 were essentially a response to the pyramid twisting release discussion here http://forum.fierceboard.com/threads/two-level-3-questions.18954/
