What CV bonus is awarded to a sequence including D acro + A jump?

In gymnastics scoring, a combination of elements that fulfills specific criteria can earn a CV (Connection Value) bonus. When analyzing a sequence that consists of a D level acrobatic movement followed by an A level jump, the scoring guidelines indicate that this particular combination warrants a .1 CV bonus.

This is because the difficulty level of the acro element (D) paired with a lower difficulty level jump (A) does not meet the criteria for a higher bonus. According to the Code of Points, certain combinations yield specific bonuses based on the highest difficulty element and the subsequent element's value. In this case, the lower value of the jump limits the bonus potential to the smallest increment available, which is .1.

This reflects the scoring system's intent to encourage gymnasts to link difficult elements with less challenging ones while still rewarding their execution with a modest bonus, thus acknowledging their skill and versatility.
