Hi all (I warn you in advance this could be a long, rambling post)
This year is my first year competing in the partner stunt division which I am really excited about!
My partner and I are are entering the level 3 division.
The only issue we are facing is that we are having a LOT of difficulty interpreting some of the rules... and are consistently getting completely opposing opinions from coaches i.e. one will save a move is definitely legal in the level, while the other will say it's not allowed and will result in deductions.
Obviously we wan't to avoid deductions so I'd love anyone to tell us if they know if any of these moves are not allowed for level 3 co-ed stunts. I think the main reason we are getting such confusing answers is that some skills ARE allowed in level 3 group stunt/routine i.e. you can do a full up to prep, or tic tok or switch up because the main base can maintain some form of contact with the flyer, but apparently this is NOT allowed for partner stunt because the base completely releases you?
Thoughts on any of the below moves - your help/interpretation of the rules is hugely appreciated!! Happy to provide videos if my descriptions don't make sense.
Are these skills allowed for true coed stunt (i.e. one boy base/one girl flyer/no assistance)
Switch up to prep (includes a skill during the toss, is that allowed?)
Low/low tic tok (releases above prep technically?)
Pitch to reverse hands, half around to hands (is a toss & twist allowed at the same time?)
Toss genie (is this classified as toss hands?)
Genie to hands (does the release happen too high)
Cartwheel out from hands (does the inversion happen too high?)
