|---|---|
| 1.0-4.0 | Less than a majority performs a level-appropriate pass |
| 4.0-6.0 | A majority performs a level-appropriate pass |
Considered when comparing teams: degree of difficulty, percentage of team participation, use and size of groups, recycled versus unique athletes, synchronization of difficult passes, specialty combinations, variety, and additional skills.
Jump difficulty (advanced jumps: herkie, hurdler, toe touch, pike, double nine):
| Score | Requirement |
|---|---|
| 1.0 | Fewer than 3 advanced jumps |
| 2.5 | Most of the team performs 3 advanced jumps |
| 3.0 | Most of the team performs 3 advanced jumps, with at least 2 connected, synchronized and with variety |
