Grading

Black Sling Dan Levels are Pass/Fail AND Graded.

Failure conditions include:

  1. The rifle is caught by the sling.
  2. The rifle touches the ground at all at the time of the catch.
  3. A trick is not performed as required (such as unauthorized wind ups, especially during stationary triple full ninja - see the attached video for expectations).
  4. Two feet must be on the ground at the time of the catch (exceptions are made for drillers in the middle of an otherwise controlled step. This rule is to avoid a qualification video where the driller lunges for a lucky, uncontrolled catch.)
  5. The scorer reserves the right to make additional judgment calls (if an issue arises, it will be discussed prior to livestreams)

Black Sling Dan Levels Dan Levels are graded on the following curve:
