Which landing combination is considered the SAME and may not receive Value-Part credit?

• A. They are considered the SAME and will not receive Value-Part credit.
• B. They are considered different for Value-Part credit.
• C. They each count as separate Value-Part credits.
• D. They contribute to a special credit only if performed in combination.

Answer: (A)

Understanding how Value-Part credits work for landing combinations is key: the scoring recognizes distinct elements, not repeated identical landings. If two landings in a sequence are judged to be the SAME, they are not treated as two separate elements for Value-Part credit. In other words, you don’t earn an additional Value-Part credit for the second landing because it’s considered the same element as the first. This keeps credit tied to truly different parts of a routine rather than duplicating the same landing. If the landings were different, each could count as its own Value-Part credit, or contribute to other credits when performed in combination, but sameness means those extra Value-Part credits aren’t awarded.
