    WAG Waiting, and then skipping BWO on beam for L5 deduction?

    We saw a L5 gymmie over the weekend who hesitated VERY long, then totally skipped her BWO. She ended up with a 6.8. Another mom and I were just wondering what the point deduction was for just that part. Does anyone know?

    WAG judes/coaches - Question on deductions for falls

    Is there any difference in scoring between a gymnast who fights to save a skill, but falls anyway and one who just takes the fall without fighting? Does the one who works to save herself from the fall get more deductions for "the extra wobbles, etc? And vice versa, does a judge tend to deduct...

    WAG Spot deductions

    I tried searching but came up empty. What is the deduction for a coach on the floor for a spot, but they don't touch the gymnast? Is it different between JO and Xcel?

    My youngest dd is doing her county grades/levels this spring and she will be doing Level 3 (they go 1-6), she has to do a squat on beam mount, dd's coach told me after practice that she is slightly concerned that dd might struggle to squat on the beam at regulation height (120cm) due to her size...

    MAG Kip Cast Compositional Deduction?

    Hi, I just have a quick question regarding compositional errors on high bar. I am aware that a kip cast handstand needs to be preceded by either a half turn into back giant or grip change into front giant. So, I was wondering: Could you kip cast handstand and change your left hand to under...

    WAG Bar deductions?

    Have seen all the wonderful judging explanations videos going around, and thought that since we got these wonderful slow motion copies of their bar routines I might try too! Wondering if anyone can explain what she might be losing marks on here (Its Australian level 4 so cast requirement is...

    WAG Bars - deduction for adding in extra cast?

    On L4 bars, my DD doesn't get enough momentum on the long hang kip to connect her back hip circle, and added in an extra cast to do it. Can anyone tell me for sure how much of a deduction that is? to add in, I guess it would be adding in an element? Trying to figure out how much of her last...

    WAG Link to deductions for JO routines

    I remember seeing a few weeks ago, someone posted a link in one of the discussion threads to a document that had common deductions for JO routines. I can't seem to find it now. If someone knows where it is, can they post a link? Thanks!!!

    WAG Deduction for Wrong Vault Value

    I am curious what the deduction is (if any) for doing a vault with a different value than what's shown to the judges. DD is going to be competing L9 and plans to do a tsuk LO (she's landing them on hard mats). However, she's told me that if she doesn't feel comfortable on equipment at a meet...

    Parents L5 what is deduction for no BWO on beam?

    An online search did not lead me to this answer. DD is inconsisent with her BWO on beam -- sometimes gets it, but more recently she is either landing one foot and falling off, or missing it completely. When she misses it completely, she tries again and always falls and then the rest of her...

    Coaches Deductions for UB's Toe-On HS

    Good evening coaches/judges. What are common deductions for the execution and performance of the UB's Toe-On HS? I am reading tonight the deductions of the clear hip HS (COP) and am thinking that relevant deductions apply to the toe-on HS. I just wanted to double check. Context - We have...

    Range and Conditioning deductions help

    My oldest dd's coach has emailed a copy of the range and conditioning requirements to all the parents to read and try and encourage their child to practice at home (both boys and girls). This is a mixed disability squad that train at the same time but is split into boys and girls (they have a...

    WAG L8 - not up to level deductions?

    Now that the regular season is coming to a close, I was curious what judges and coaches have been seeing on the deductions for "not up to competitive level" for level 8. Are judges using this deduction for routines that don't include the 1 extra allowable 'C' skill? How about for 'A' vs 'B'...

    WAG Whole point in deductions

    My dd had a meet last week. She always score 9.2 or 9.4 on beam. Yesterday she repeated a skill and scored 8.5. I looked about deductions, and repeated skill is only 2/10th is a point. Is this right? Everything else in the routine was done right. This is the same judge that judges Her about 2...

    WAG Level 5 Routine Deductions

    In the USAG level 5 beam routine, the gymnast must hit a handstand and immediately take two releve' steps backwards in order to complete the skill, right? Is there an alternative to this? If so, what? If not, what, if any, would be the deduction for failing to take these two steps?

    WAG Level 6 bars cast & clear hip deductions

    I remember a post about this from not too long ago but don't remember the answer. Do level 6s have different angle deductions than levels 7-10?

    WAG Level 7 turn deduction

    how large is the deduction if you fall out of the 1 1/2 turn on floor? My DD did this yesterday at her meet and her coach said it was probably .3 in deductions (since she stepped back instead of forward out of the turn). It didn't lower her start value though. Just curious!

    WAG question about bars deduction

    We had a meet this weekend where are bar scores were a bit lower than normal and especially so for one of our gymnasts. Our coach made an inquiry and was told that the cast before a clear hip had to get to handstand or it was a 0.4 deduction. Our coach said she asked the judges when that was...

    WAG Deduction Questions

    Hi! My DD is Xcel Bronze, not sure if that matters for my question. I am curious how the deductions work on beam. Balance checks (arm waves, etc.) count as a deduction, right? A fall does, as well, obviously. Are they worth the same deduction? If a gymnast balance checks while fighting to...

    Parents Point Deductions for Hair Length

    My daughter has long hair and prefers to wear it in a ponytail rather than a bun during competition. She says that a bun bothers her head when she does certain skills such as a back extension roll. The first two meets this season she wore a ponytail and there was no issue. At the third meet...
