GYMNASTICS HIGH SCHOOL CLARIFICATIONS

1.	If a girl performed a handstand at the end of the beam, landed on 1 foot, swung her free leg forward and back in one continuous motion into a front salto, would this be a tumbling pass?	I would wonder about a continuous motion when she's descending one direction and throwing a front salto in the other, so I would just have to say that it is possible.
2.	Where in the book does it specifically say a gymnast can do an element 2 times separately performed in the exact same way, and the 3rd time it does not receive difficulty value?	On p. 14, Rule 4-2-2A - the indented list just above B Event Requirements "A difficulty is performed a third time... No credit
3.	On bars, at what point can a gymnast perform an uprise to get a HS?	It must come from a long hang position.
	For instance, does she need to uprise to clear horizontal (is this the attainable height?), and then if it is followed by a back hip: would that be an acceptable HS - or can the back swing be lower to a back hip to get HS?	The rule is clear that the HS uprise must come from a long hang to a clear support, so she has to show the clear support before she lowers to a back hip circle.
4.	On bars, if a girl performs 2 long hang kips in a row, is there any deduction for a very small cast (push away) between the elements? Is there any expected degrees of cast for deductions on elements throughout the routine?	No specific standard, but I would guess the judges would deduct at least 0.1 for a push away without showing some amplitude towards horizontal on the cast.
5.	A gymnast performed a front tuck 1.5 into dive roll on floor, and wondered if this move was "legal".	That skill is illegal because we void saltos that do not have a feet-first landing.
	The skill is void, but the routine is still ok?	The routine is legal, but the skill is void. I would assume the judges would make certain everyone in the state realized the skill is not legal so it is taken from any and all routines.
