11 – Illegal

Illegal.

The new rule 3.5.5.c.1 that allows a hand-to-foot connection is as follows:
1. If the release is to a cradle position, the contact may be hand-to-foot and the bracer must be in a double-based prep with a spotter.

Since the release is not to a cradle position, which is defined as a “face-up open-pike position” on page 9, then the hand-to-foot exception isn’t allowed.
