deduction

Is there a deduction for the bars being closer together? This would be for Xcel.

So recently, I competed at Level 8 and hit the bar on my double flipping dismount. Obviously, I fell but I'm curious how much they take. Is it 0.5 (Fall)+ the hit? I'm also curious about what score I could've gotten. My score was 8.4.

I’m a pretty new coach, but I’ve been a gymnast for a while. I’m familiar with most of the common deductions as well as some more out there ones. I’m trying to get better a learning the associated values (2 tenths or 3 tenths), but I’m struggling a bit. I know which ones are bigger deductions...

My daughter has a BWO BHS series in her beam routine. At the last meet, she started the series, but her BWO was wonky (would've fallen completely off if she attempted the BHS), so she redid the whole series. What is the deduction for redo-ing an attempted skill? The series re-do and rest of the...

Is it a deduction if I compete a flyaway for excel gold, and my coach stands on the mats underneath the high bar and counts out my tap swings “1, 2, 3, see your toes“ or something like that but does not spot me?

Where can I find a resource to tell us how judges score and do their deductions? My son does really well when he knows every detail. I can’t explain it but it seems like once he understands all the details in his head it helps his body. For example, one time he happened to be helping at a meet...

I was just wondering, it is a deducted in an aerial to have bent out arms instead of having them straight out to the side?

Hi, What are the deductions in xcel gold for not completing the full turn on beam (she stays on the beam for the turn but it’s like a 3/4 turn instead of a full turn) and for stumbling on the dismount instead of sticking it? What about not having perfectly straight legs on back walkover on...

Anyone know if there’s a deduction for double saluting? Meaning judge raises hand, gymnast salutes…but doesn’t actually start routine, so judge raises hand again, then gymnast salutes a 2nd time…then starts.

My daughter had her first competitive meet recently (Xcel Bronze). She did well (35.3) and I am proud if her, but was curious if there is any way to learn which deductions she had on each apparatus? She just got a number score for each.

Is there a deduction in level 7 bar routine if you do a roundy round (you may have different name?) after squat on when jumping to the high bar? Can’t find it anywhere online and my daughter’s trying to perfect her routine for state. Bars is her strength but she’s always hated that squat on by...

A side aerial or a front tuck??

My daughter is getting frustrated and needs a high to low bar release. She is working on the overshoot to handstand. I want to suggest to her that she try a B skill overshoot until she can safely catch her handstand. I just want to give her advise to help relieve the pressure... She has strong...

Hi, I’m trying to level out of 5 this summer. I’m having trouble on my full turn on the beam. Is it a deduction to step backwards out of a full turn? If so how much will judges deduct? And what is the point value of a full turn?

So my sister and I are trying to figure out where her deductions were taken on her level five floor routine. I took a video of it, and her tumbling was pretty solid, yet she still scored an 8.3. Throughout level four she was an average scorer too, but normally the 8.7-8.9 range. She went first...

Hi, Does anyone know what the deduction is for JO L5 for an extra cast before the squat on? My daughter falls a lot if she doesn't take a quick cast after the push away kip when doing the squat on to the high bar.
