I wouldn't completely agree with this statement since those skill areas are still listed on the score sheet. Their point value may not be as high but they still matter. I will always say overall impression will always kill anyone on anyday. The single base stunting is worth more, but won't determine places. You have to have the entire package.
On a side note, who decided on these point values and score sheets? These are so UCA style score sheets its not even funny.
Ok, there is 5 points for standing tumbling (execution PLUS difficulty in JUST 5 points) and the same for running tumbling.
So in that 5 points for standing tumbling if one team had 10 standing fulls and another had 20 standing fulls, and one had 8 members do PERFECTLY synchronized two to fulls. Just curious how you think all three of those would score... in that 5 points. To help out, here is the guide for tumbling:
1-2 points Standing tumbling skills executed with poor technique, perfection and
synchronization. L3 standing tumbling skills. Limited number of skills and
variety performed in routine. Few performers attempting skill compared to
number on the floor.
2-3 points Standing tumbling skills executed with standard technique, perfection and
synchronization. L4 standing tumbling skills. Average number of skills and
variety performed in routine. Approximately half the number of performers
attempting skill compared to number on the floor.
3-4 points Standing tumbling skills executed with standard to higher than standard
technique, perfection and synchronization. L4 standing tumbling skills.
Average number of skills and variety performed in routine. Approximately
half the number of performers attempting skill compared to number on the
floor.
4-5 points Standing tumbling skills with a nearly perfect to perfect level of technique,
perfection and synchronization. L5 standing tumbling skills. Multiple skills
and variety performed in routine. Most to all of performers attempting skill
compared to number on the floor.
