Prep Op Clarification

A question was asked by a coach regarding the NOVICE PREP LEVEL. Please read the question and answer below.

I know there is a 1.0 point deduction for a gymnast competing a “B” acro element on beam.  I have a gymnast wishing to do element 5.204 (Clear pike”V” support) in a straddle position.  It is listed as a group 5 hold-stand element valued as a “B”.  I do not condider it an acro element since it is listed under holds, but I wanted to clarify that this is an acceptable element at Novice Prep and will not receive the 1.0 point deduction at Novice prep.

The clear “V” sit as described in the code (#5.204) will not be considered as acro and will be allowed for the Novice Prep Opt gymnast without the 1.0 deduction.

IF the “V” sit is initiated from a handstand or cartwheel or any other acro type of skill, it will NOT be permitted for the Novice gymnast.
This particular skill was not intended to cause a 1.0 deduction for the Novice Beam worker!
