Which element value is CORRECT for the GOLD Division?

Which element value is CORRECT for the GOLD Division?

• A. Giant circle backward - No VP or SR credit - Restricted Skill
• B. Tap swing forward with 1/2 turn dismount - B value
• C. Glide on low bar, stoop through, back kip up with straddle cut backward to hang - A value
• D. Swing down between bars - swing forward to salto backward stretched (flyaway stretched) - B value

Answer: (A)

In the Gold Division, bar skills are given simple letter values (A, B, etc.), and some skills are marked as Restricted, meaning they don’t earn Value Part (VP) or Special Requirements (SR) credit even though they’re performed. The giant circle backward on the high bar fits Gold as a basic swing circle that is designated with the lowest value for that skill and is labeled as Restricted. Because it’s restricted, it yields no VP or SR credit, which is exactly what the option describes. That alignment with Gold’s credit rules makes it the best match. The other listed descriptions describe skills or combinations that would carry different value classifications or credits in Gold, so they don’t fit the Gold division’s standard crediting rules as neatly as the restricted, basic circle does.
