Pair/groups select one skill from each row in the compulsory tables. The skills in columns A & B have the same value and either may be chosen. If all required elements are performed successfully, the exercise has a difficulty score of 10.0. Pair/group skills are worth 1.00. Individual skills are worth 0.4.
