In a cartwheel-cartwheel series that is broken, which element receives value part credit?

• A. Only the second cartwheel receives value part credit
• B. Neither cartwheel receives value part credit
• C. Only the first cartwheel receives value part credit
• D. Both cartwheels receive value part credit

Answer: (C)

Value part credit is given for the portion of a two-element series that is completed when the connection between elements is broken. In a cartwheel-cartwheel series, if you finish the first cartwheel but fail to connect into the second, the first cartwheel has been completed and earns its value part credit. The second cartwheel does not receive value part credit in this broken-series situation because the connection to continue the series was not made. If the second cartwheel were performed as a separate, stand-alone element, it could earn its own credit, but within the broken two-element series, only the first cartwheel gets the value part credit.
