    WAG Over time limit deductions

    Does anyone know off hand what the deduction is for an over time limit floor routine in Xcel Gold? I just discovered dd's routine is too long and I'm curious how much that hurts her score. Seems like a silly thing to lose tenths over.

    MAG Spotting Deduction

    Anyone know how much is taken off if a coach spots a kid on a skill? Compulsory level if that makes a difference (and not one of the skills where doing it without a spot is a bonus)?

    My daughter's coach told her after state that she received a .1 deduction on her floor routine for "cheerleading". I've never heard of this. I have no idea what the judge would be referring to.
