AER NL 23 - November 09 (English)
If the competitors perform up to two different difficulty elements at the same time or consecutively and then consecutively repeat the same 2 difficulty elements but with different members of the group, this will not be considered as a repetition and the group will be credited for both difficulty elements.

f the competitors perform up to two different difficulty elements at the same time or consecutively and then perform one element or more before repeating the same 2 difficulty elements with different members of the group, this will be not considered as “consecutively” :

- The element of the lowest value will receive the difficulty score in both cases
- A deduction of 1 pt will be given for one repetition


Difficulty : Minimum requirements
Group B : In order to receive a value, all elements from group B must complete the turn (or half turn) as it is written in the description of the elements in the COP, App2 (p 29 to 38) 
=> All B elements with incomplete turns will receive 0 value.  Just a little deviation is allowed and will receive 0.1 point deduction in Execution.
