Unai Baigorra of Spain does a beautiful Y scale. It is textbook.
around 1:28 mark

@irichluck21 It's a nice shape, and he lifts it up using his legs instead of grabbing it low and pulling it up, which is cool, but I promise that some of the judges took a 0.3 deduction for not holding the position for 2 seconds.

There really needs to be one additional way way of distinguishing versions of these scales. They already give a B for not holding with your hand, but almost none of these guys get the 180° split. So I would suggest this.

Scale without 180° split + hand hold (2 sec): A
Scale with EITHER 180° split OR no hand hold (2 sec): B
Scale with BOTH 180° split + no hand hold (2 sec): C

I can only think of one guy who ever tried C version, and he'd lose 0.3 for not holding it.
