Which statement is CORRECT in regard to BRONZE Division beam special requirements?

• A. A squat turn (1/2) will fulfill the turn Special Requirement.
• B. Handstands must be two seconds in order to receive Value-Part credit.
• C. The MAXIMUM time limit of a beam routine is 30 seconds.
• D. A cross split jump must show a split angle of 135˚ in order to receive Value-Part credit.

Answer: (A)

Bronze beam special requirements include a turning element, and the rule recognizes a squat turn performed on the beam as fulfilling that turn requirement. A squat turn is a controlled rotation completed while in a low squat position on the beam, and it counts toward the required turn for Bronze, so it satisfies the Special Requirement without needing a separate, higher-difficulty turn. The other statements don’t address the turn requirement itself: handstand duration isn’t what satisfies the special turn credit, the routine time limit on Bronze beam isn’t a fixed 30 seconds, and the split angle for a cross split jump isn’t what determines the fulfillment of the turn requirement.
