Judge Discussion sheets for elements/penalties (Nov 8/06 version)
From Lynda Furniss:

A few minor written changes were required in the above attached document to clarify the kick pull kick element for tiers 2 and 3. It was brought to my attention that the sequence of "kick pull kick airplane" constitutes one stroke, not two; so I have corrected the following numbered pages: 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. 

 
Also on page 17, there was a typing error for tier 4 team element # 2.  Originally, the arm sequence read " ...travel both forward or sideways..."  the word both has been removed.
 
If you previously printed my September 2006 version, you need not reprint the entire document.  When you are ready to print, remember that the document now has a title page, which does not have a page number.  I would suggest that you scroll down to the exact page(s) that you want to reprint so that you get the right ones.
