2A is judged on difficulty of each individual element.

Loops for example, are judged based on each variation.  
A player doing two hand loops, transitioning into cross arm loops - 1 point  
Crossing back over to normal loops, into other arm cross arm loops - another point.  
And more points for difficulty of said kind of loop: twice crossed loops, turn loops - 2-3 points.

Wraps are judged based on a whole as well.  
Player doing a few reps of cow wraps - 1 point.  
changing the cow wraps with a variation, say inside outside - 2 points.  
Fountain wrap variations - possibly 3 points.

Tanglers can vary from 1 to 3 points based on difficulty and variation also.

And of course originality comes into play as being original will boost your score.  
That combined with professionalism, all come together for a final score.
