Tumbling's very important in a competition routine. It doesn't matter what level you are entering in. You could be beginning and just doing cartwheels and round-offs, or you can be at the advanced level doing layouts, double full's, or full's. It is very entertaining to the audience. It is, of course, very impressive to the judge. So it's very important to have that.
