From the AMA Rule Book:
A Beginner flight becomes official when the aircraft becomes airborne except that the pilot may call off the flight at any time prior to making the initial climb of the wingover. Any flight that is called off prior to the wingover will be recorded as an attempt. The method of the call off signal to the judges will be determined before flights begin.
5.1.1. Takeoff and level flight 10–40
5.1.2. Wingover (not reverse) 10–40
5.1.3. Three inside loops 10–40 (recover right side up or inverted)
5.1.4. Three outside loops* 10–40 (recover right side up)
5.1.5. Two inside square loops10–40
5.1.6. Two horizontal eights 10–40
5.1.7. Two overhead eights 10–40
5.1.8. Landing 0–40
5.1.9. Flight Pattern Points 0 or 25
*May be entered from upright flight with the maneuver starting at the 45 degree elevation; or by executing a half loop into inverted flight and entering the maneuver from level flight elevation; or by exiting the inside loops inverted and staying inverted two (2) laps (minimum) until the outside loops can be started.

No scoring for level flight upright and inverted?
I've been doing that in my beginner practice. I was flying 2 laps after takeoff, two scoring laps and two leading up to the inside loops. And the same thing inverted after my inside loops leading up to the outsides. Guess I've been adding to the routine unnecessarily.

It's takeoff and level flight. Takeoff is one lap. Two laps level to finish earning your score. Then two laps for the judges to get over their awe of your excellent flying and write down your score.
Inverted flight between the insides and the outsides is optional. You have the option, in fact, of starting your outside loops from high level flight, and never flying any inverted laps.
I suggest you fly the insides, inverted, and outsides per the full pattern. That gives you practice at inverted flight, which is where most beginners are weak. It won't do jack for you in Beginner, but it'll help you as soon as you start flying Intermediate.
And -- go to the AMA website and download the rules for CLPA. Then read them.
You can also find the descriptions of the maneuvers on the PAMPA site.

Sounds good, inverted flight is one thing I'm actually good at.
