What do you think of the 0.2 "different directions" bonus on vault?

[Sasha]

From my perspective as a fan, I don't care for it as I don't see it adding any excitement or meaningful variety to the event. Like, Yurchenko + handspring entry is not inherently more interesting than Yurchenko + Tsuk. I also feel like it disproportionately affects the results. (And no, this is not Valentina Georgieva posting under a borrowed account.)

If the WTC wants to give bonuses on vault I'd prefer to see a stick bonus—IMO this has made things more exciting on the MAG side.

What do others think of the rule?

I don't mind it as it forces specialists to up their game . Used to be really boring with the Yurchenko/Tsuk combos

Could have a stick bonus as well on ub/bb

I think you make some excellent points. I've noticed that people and commentators are often checking and wondering whether the bonus is applied and who is getting it. It feels arbitrary even though it isn't.

BBC commentary seems to be obsessed with getting stuck bonus for women. I think it does look great on vault. I'm not sure if there are any safety considerations I should weigh up, but as things stand I am certainly in favour.

I'll give a .2 bonus to anyone who mounts bars with anything other than a kip.
