Recognition of elements occurs Recognition of elements occurs in chronological orderin chronological order

In case of technical failure In case of technical failure elements will be credited one DV elements will be credited one DV lower or recognized as another lower or recognized as another element in the table of element in the table of difficulties (or no DV)difficulties (or no DV)

E.g. Clear hip circle to handstand – not E.g. Clear hip circle to handstand – not within 10 within 10 º - credited as a B; performed º - credited as a B; performed later to handstand – no value as it is a later to handstand – no value as it is a repeated element.repeated element.

If an element is recognized as another If an element is recognized as another element (from the table of Elements) due to element (from the table of Elements) due to failure to meet the technical requirements failure to meet the technical requirements and later is performed with correct and later is performed with correct technique they may both receive DV. technique they may both receive DV.

E.g. Switch leap - Devalued due to first E.g.
