What is the minimum turn angle required for a half turn on one foot to be considered for Value Part or Special Requirement?

• A. 120 degrees
• B. 156 degrees
• C. 90 degrees
• D. 136 degrees

Answer: (D)

The idea being tested is how much rotation on a supporting foot counts as a half-turn for Value Part or Special Requirement. The judging standard uses a threshold so that only turns with substantial rotation earn credit. A full half-turn is 180 degrees, but for this purpose the rotation must reach at least a specific minimum to qualify. That minimum is 136 degrees, which means any turn on one foot that reaches 136 degrees or more can be counted toward the Value Part or Special Requirement. Choices like 90 or 120 degrees are too small to qualify, while 156 degrees would also qualify but isn’t the minimum. So the minimum turn angle required is 136 degrees.
