Release Move: The top person is free of contact with all athletes on the performing surface.
May not pass over, under or through other stunts, pyramids, individuals, or props. Top persons in separate release moves may not be, or come, in contact with each other.
To determine the height of a release move, at the highest point of the release, the distance from the top person’s hips to the extended arms of the bases will be used to determine the height of the release. If that distance is greater than the length of the top person’s legs (Level 3-4), or greater than the length of the top person’s legs plus an additional 18 inches (Level 5-7), it will be considered a toss or dismount, and must follow the appropriate “Toss” or “Dismount” rules.
All multi-based waist level cradles in which the bases begin underneath the top person’s feet will be considered a toss and must follow toss rules.
