deduction

DD had an in house meet recently and her coaches had her do a straddle dismount. She got a deduction and is now working a pike dismount to get ready for her next meet. But I was just curious as to what the deduction for that would have been?

For anyone who knows: My DD has a habit of taking a moment to set her feet before doing her cartwheel. the setup doesn't always look so fluid, but when she does this, she stays on the beam. I can only see so much at meets from where I sit (mandated to the opposite side of the gym, per her...

My daughter's coach keeps telling my daughter that's it like .3 deduction not having an arm circle when she vaults. So, when she does an arm circle, it messes her up and she ends up not vaulting or it's slower. We've heard there isn't an deduction, but her coach keeps insisting that there...

What would the deduction be for a completely missing element in compulsories, for example, a missing BHS for L3 or a missing back tuck for L5? The gymnast just doesn't do the skill. FWIW, not my gymmie.

Can anyone enlighten me as to the deductions for any the following on L3 bars: - Bent arms at end of FHC - Extra cast before shoot-through - Ending up hanging upside-down under the bar after shoot-through - Squeezing bar between legs at end of mill circle - Awkward leg cut with tummy leaning on...

Hi there, I'm wondering if it's "better" to compete a front hip circle with bent arms or use the spot in an attempted (but probably failed) front hip circle with straight arms. My daughter can reliably complete a front hip circle with bent arms and equally reliably fail to complete a front hip...

Is their a deduction for doing turns on your bad leg? I'm a righty for everything else but I turn leftie and do my split jump on beam leftie. So I'd like to be prepared to face a deduction for that if there is one. I've tried learning how to do my turns and split jump on beam on the right foot...

Just curious if there is a spotting deduction for compulsory levels if a coach is on the floor during a routine/tumbling pass but does not touch the gymnast

DD's had her kip for awhile, but it goes from being super tight to bent arms. I chalk a lot of it up to inconsistent training at her old gym (sort of a "let's see if you can throw this skill and we'll fix it later" approach). New gym does a LOT of drills and I've seen a huge improvement in...

What is the deduction for a spot on flyaway? Munchie can do it un spotted sometimes, but other times the coach gives her a light tap. Other times it's just the 'fake' touch where my daughter thinks he is about to spot, but never actually touches her. Also, another girl requires a spot on the...

What the heck are these? We just had a meeting with DD's coaches (she got to be one of the first this year instead of one of the last right before season begins! Yay!) Their 'plan' (as much as a coach can have a plan, at least) for her is to do 7 this year and 8 next year; 9/10/Elite will take...

I have attached a beautifully edited (not! I just needed to disguise my gym :) ) photo of a hold that I am considering using in my beam routine. I was messing around with a teammate yesterday, and my coaches suggested that I put it in my routine. What deductions would I incur, the skill looking...

My dd is doing L4 tumbling at her competition tomorrow after getting it in practice for the first time today. Her coach will be spotting her, and my DD would like to know what her deduction will be for the spot. Thanks!

In a USAG level 9 bar routine, if a gymnast performs a squat on, jump to high bar, kip, cast handstand, pirouette, KIP, CAST (under horizontal), bail (or overshoot) what are the total deductions? .03 for the below horizontal cast, but what about additional execution and compositional...

Is there, and if so, how much is the deduction for competing a level 4 floor routine from the wrong corner/side? DD is a righty and competed her floor routine from where the lefty's start today at the state meet. I've heard of the term directional deduction before, but I'm not quite sure if it...

OK... D's level 8 high bar routine is stem, kip, cast above 45, free hip to underswing turn, back uprise, pause, back giant X2, blind change, front giant X2, piroutette, back giant X2 layout flyaway. What is the deduction for the pause? IF he doesn't pause after the back uprise does that...

Not exactly sure where to post this, but I can't find out the deduction for stopping on bars in CPP (specifically Alberta)! If anyone knows, please let me know!

Hi There, Our Regional Grades range & conditioning set involves a standing straddle press to handstand. Does anyone know what the deductions are for walking on your hands in the handstand to avoid a fall? Thanks :)

I know I shouldn't focus on scores however, it baffles the heck out of me. This is DDs first competitive season on level 1 so I really need to chill, I know. But after today's meet I'm so lost. She did great. Her beam was beautiful and she got a 9.30. The girl after her wobbled and almost fell...

What is the deduction for doing a LVL4 dismount instead of a Flyaway dismount?
