Recognition (Counting) of Value Parts (continued) EXAMPLES: 1) First Series: Front salto tucked step-out, Front Handspring, Front salto stretched Second Series: Front salto tucked step-out, Front Handspring, Flyspring, Front salto stretched. • These are considered to be Two Different Series due to the addition of the Flyspring. VP credit will be awarded to all elements. 2) First Series: Front salto tucked step-out, Round-off, Flic-flac, Salto backward with 1/1 twist. Second Series: Round-off, Flic-flac, Salto backward with 1/1 twist. • These are considered Two Different Series due to the deletion of the front salto tucked. VP credit will be awarded to all elements. 3) First Series: Front Aerial, Round-off, Flic-flac, Back salto tucked Second Series: Round-off, Flic-flac, Back salto tucked • These are considered Two Different Series due to the deletion of the acro element without hand support (front aerial). VP credit will be awarded to all elements. 4) First Series: Front handspring step-out, round-off, flic-flac, back salto tucked Second Series: Round-off, flic-flac, back salto tucked • These are considered Two Different Series because of the addition of the front handspring in the first series. C. In the following instance, elements/series will be considered the SAME for recognition of VP: • A salto with a 2-foot landing or with a step-out are considered the same element.
