Xcel Gold Start Value: An exercise with five A elements plus a cast at 10° below horizontal receives a Start Value of what?

• A. 9.4 Start Value
• B. 9.2 Start Value
• C. 9.0 Start Value
• D. 9.6 Start Value

Answer: (A)

On Xcel Gold floor, you start from a fixed base Start Value and add the value for each A element performed. An A element contributes 0.1 to the Start Value. With five A elements, you add 0.5. The cast at 10° below horizontal is part of the routine but does not itself increase Start Value beyond the A-element contributions. The base Start Value for floor at Xcel Gold is 8.9, so 8.9 + 0.5 = 9.4. Therefore the Start Value is 9.4.
