The rules at UCA Nationals (assuming that this is what you are talking about) are created to be flexible enough for teams from all over to be able to compete successfully. For example, when many states began to ban HS teams from doing basket tosses, UCA stopped requiring tosses on the scoresheet (thus preventing these teams from being placed into a situation in which they would be compelled to break the rules in order to score decently). Double-ups are legal if they are fake double-ups; for example, full-up + bases turn once. And yes, last time I checked, twisting skills (for both tumbling and stunting) cannot exceed 1.25 rotations.
That's only possible if they released... and the only released double-up I have ever seen performed was done by a stunt group from UTSA All-Girl.
If you're unfamiliar with the middle school division, head over to varsity's website and just browse through the middle school division of UCA nationals. You won't be disappointed. Just because the kids are younger doesn't mean less talented!
Yup! If anything, most people are rounding up; a non-released double-up is only going to complete 1.75 rotations.
Do you mean without the bases moving? Because I've definitely seen non-released double ups with 2 full twists, with bases moving though of course.
Yes, with the bases moving. I've never seen an unreleased double-up like the one you described, though.
Maybe not in high school (I'll admit I don't watch too many high school videos, so I just don't know, not saying there aren't any), but there are definitely plenty of well executed full double ups in all star (and definitely plenty of not so well execute double ups lol)
I would love to see an unreleased complete double-up, that would change so much for Senior 5!
