Grading
|
Black Slings are Pass/Fail AND Graded.
Failure conditions include: (1) The rifle is caught by the sling. (2) The rifle touches the ground at all while the driller is performing a trick, including during setup and recovery. (3) A trick is not performed as required (such as unauthorized wind ups, especially during stationary triple full ninja - see the attached video for expectations). (4) Two feet must be on the ground at the time of the catch (exceptions are made for drillers in the middle of an otherwise controlled step, or a slight loss of balance. This rule is to avoid a qualification video where the driller lunges for a lucky, uncontrolled catch.) (5) A trick is over/under rotated by a half turn. Aerials (such as sextuple and Quad OTH) must be controlled and exact. i.e., A 6-and-a-half will not count towards Sextuple or Septuple requirements. It will result in a disqualification. (6) The scorer reserves the right to make additional judgment calls (if an issue arises, it will be discussed prior to livestreams) As a reminder, it is customary, but not required, to begin and end your assessment with a Present Arms. Black Sling Dan Levels are graded on the following curve: Minor Penalties: - 1.00 Moderate Penalties: - 2.00 Major Penalties: - 3.00 Special Scoring Exceptions: (1) There are no penalties for heel extensions or bending for throws. Penalties still accrue for bending for catches. (2) Minor Hand Pin Penalties do not lose points. (moderate and major penalties still count for full points). |
