Which of the following statements is CORRECT regarding Value Part credit?

• A. Skills may be given Value Part credit two (2) times provided they are in a different connection.
• B. Skills may be given Value Part credit only one (1) time regardless of the connection.
• C. A skill need NOT receive Value Part credit in order to fulfill a Special Requirement.
• D. Value Part credit cannot be earned more than twice in any routine.

Answer: (A)

Value Part credit is given for specific moments in a routine that meet extra criteria and contribute to its difficulty. A skill can earn Value Part credit more than once if it shows up in two different connections, meaning two distinct flow segments of the routine. So you can have Value Part credit on the same skill twice, provided those two occurrences come from different connections. This is why the statement that skills may receive Value Part credit two times when they’re in different connections is the correct one. The other choices misstate the rule: one-time credit regardless of connection, or make universal claims about Special Requirements or a hard cap that don’t fit the two-connection rule.
