About
The code of points sometimes compulsively differentiates elements down to the tiniest minutiae and other times just slaps 50 elements together in the same box and is like, “this thing’s here.” This is one of those other times.

All of the half- and full-twisting back saltos are clumped together at B (0.2) and as such are too simple to be included in routines as intended counting elements. Most are not particularly common in connected passes in elite gymnastics either (the back layout 1/2 can be useful in NCAA), so your experience of them will be based entirely on how often you go back and watch the 1992 Olympic compulsories. For instance.
