How are pyramid and toss difficulty scored?

Question

Accepted Answer

Pyramid difficulty (cumulative through the routine): Range Requirement 1.0-8.0 Fewer than 4 level-appropriate skills and/or fewer than 2 structures 8.0-12.0 At least 4 level-appropriate skills and 2 structures A pyramid needs at least two structures. Consecutive transitions within a pyramid don't count as hitting a structure, and each structure must meet the USASF definition of a pyramid (two or more connected stunts). Toss difficulty, Levels 2-5 (cumulative): Range Requirement 1.0-2.0 Less than a majority performs a level-appropriate toss 2.0-3.0 A majority performs a level-appropriate toss Toss group quantity chart: Athletes on the team Majority 5-9 1 10-19 2 20-29 3 30-38 4 When comparing toss difficulty: degree of difficulty (Levels 3-5), percentage of team participation, variety (Levels 3-5), additional tosses (including non-level-appropriate ones) and height.
