Definitely! They are really helpful for understanding the rules! There have t been any for a while as every year they revamp the rules a little bit so some skills that were illegal last year are now legal. New quizzes will probably start up in the next coming weeks!

Inverted to non-inverted double up is pretty tough! I'm not sure where it falls on the spectrum of difficulty as its all pretty subjective but Great White Sharks did it if you want to check it out here at 0:40 Any coed teams that do amazing stunts too are also pretty tough as they are usually...

right right.. duh. thanks! haha

So if the flyer could some how do it without her hands on his shoulders, and the base could make it so it wasn't a release move, that would make it legal?

So they admit our reasonings for thinking it's legal (the fact that it is initiated below prep and doesn't become inverted until prep level). But because she passes through extended, that's what makes it illegal. I was thinking about how you are allowed to pass through extended at level 4 but...

Oh I know what you mean! I feel like there will always be a grey area with downward inversions!

Didn't see this until now. So they haven't posted the reasoning yet but it is illegal. So it must be in reference to H4b! So confusing because she is very clearly not inverted before prep and the side base doesn't even really hit an extended position. It will be interesting to see the reasoning...

Yeah it's definitely a grey area for sure! Depends on what judges you have! I coach a level 4 team and it was competition to competition either a warning or no warning for them!

Agree! Now to wait until Friday haha!

It wouldn't be considered a dismount because as @Michael White mentioned "Note: Movements are only considered “Dismounts” if released to a cradle or released and assisted to the performing surface." The stunt doesn't go to cradle and is never released. An inversion by definition is "When the...

go to usasfrules.com and under news there is a quizzes section! :)

We are the same but with level 6! I used to cheer level 6 but now it's a thing of the past where I am from. Level 5 is still kicking (not as strong as it used to mind you)! In fact I'm on a team right now heading to worlds this year! But I coach level 4 so I know that level inside out.. every...

I thought so too! But I believe it's legal because she becomes inverted at prep level which may be done with 2 at level 5. Thoughts!?

Yeah I agree! Someone mentioned a T-jump is considered something along the lines of a rebound. But yeah it was a silly thought but I always like getting them all out to discuss :)

Any thoughts on the one up this week. I want to say it's legal because a T-jump isn't considered a jump and you may therefore do it before a back hand in level 2 (and the reverse is also true, backhand t-jump). But my question is that if the t-jump isn't considered a jump, does it then...

Ahhh I see what you're saying! I know you said that above but I didn't quite understand what you meant! That is confusing and a good point. So does that mean that you can do BHS whip whip whip double? There is a minimum of 2 backward traveling, non-twisting tumbling skills and one of them IS a...

I definitely don't envy legality judges. The more you dive into it, the more confusing it all seems! And different people interpret the rules different ways or to mean different things! What were your thoughts on the answer for this week's quiz?

Yeah I agree! I think it does mean the two skills right before the double.

This was confusing for me too! Standing tumbling D states: D. (In standing tumbling only) skills involving more than one twist (i.e. Double fulls) must be immediately preceded by a minimum of two backward traveling, non-twisting tumbling skills. One of these two skills must be a back handspring...

That's what I'm thinking which has my first instinct to be that only B and C (The BHS whip BHS whip double and the BHS BHS double whip double) are legal. Because for A as you mentioned the rules state the two skills IMMEDIATELY preceding the double twist must be backward traveling, non-twisting...
