In the SILVER Division, which statement about Value-Part credit for tap swing/underswing-counterswings is true?

• A. A single tap swing is enough for A Value-Part credit.
• B. Tap swings never count as Value-Part credit in Silver.
• C. Three tap swings receive B Value-Part credit.
• D. Two tap swing/underswing-counterswings may be awarded A Value-Part credit.

Answer: (D)

Value-Part credits are awarded for specific, recognizable components of a skill, and in the Silver division the way these taps and counterswings count is by how many you perform with correct technique. Two tap swing or underswing-counterswing movements, when done with proper form, can earn an A Value-Part credit. That’s why the statement stating two of these swings may receive A Value-Part credit is correct.

Think of it as the code recognizing that a small sequence of two controlled swings demonstrates the required quality and consistency to qualify for the A level, rather than needing a single, isolated move. The other options don’t fit this rule: a lone tap swing doesn’t reach the A credit threshold, tap swings can count toward Value-Part credit in Silver when performed correctly, and the idea that three taps automatically yields B credit isn’t how this rule is written.
