    WAG Deductions for Extra Steps

    What is the maximum deduction that a gymnast can be assessed for extra steps on landings (in particular for L8 - L10)? I'm really curious about vault where I've seen some girls practically run forward on landings, but I am interested in all apparatus. Do the same deductions apply for...

    WAG Overtime Deduction and Other Beam Related Questions

    What is the deduction for going overtime on the beam in L3? When does the time start and when does it end? My daughter seems to take a lot of time after saluting to start to actually get on the beam. Also, once she tripped while turning around after she saluted the judge before even touching...

    Parents Deductions for not wearing matching leos

    When during the summer I thought DD would be level 3 this season, I bought a competition leo that all level 3 and up are wearing. Expensive, long-sleeved, nice leo. Then at the end of the summer we were told that she will be in L2, and that L1s and L2s need a different leo. Those were much...

    Coaches Not removing the mat after mount deduction.

    Hi everybody. We just had a meet where all our level 3 girls, that competed a glide pull over, got deducted because their mounting spring board wasn't removed until after they started their pull over. The judge said the deduction is called "failure to remove springboard or mounting mat/block...

    Coaches Deduction for lack of arm circle Level 2 Vault?

    I don't have the book with me right now, but I was wondering about the deduction for a lack of arm circle for Level 2 Vault. I have a gymnast who has a great vault, but doesn't circle. When she does circle, her vault slows way down and is just generally not as explosive. We will keep trying...

    WAG Level 4 bar deductions

    Can anybody help me find bar deductions for level 4? I'm having a hard time finding anything. DD has a pretty good kip, does straight arm most of the time, although her feet flex in the beginning of her glide and her legs can bend a little bit. Her squat on troubles me (of course I tell her it...

    WAG Deductions

    Is there a basic rule for common deductions? Like how much for not pointing toes? Or not holding handstand long enough on beam? Or a step on the dismount? I've always wondered how those little things score because I know they add up at the end.

    WAG Deduction on beam

    I have a friend who after her mount she lays over the end of the beam with her back arched and arms out. It looks really pretty! But in order to do this she hooks her feet on the bottom of the beam. She DOES NOT touch the metal supports of the beam. Is this a deduction?

    WAG Deductions for playing it safe?

    I wanted to know what anyone's opinion is on complete clean routines, that lack that extra power, or extra high jumps, etc. etc.... DD has been playing it so safe, that it has made her routines somewhat 'flat' in my opinion..... She's got everything and seems fine with her form and artistry...

    WAG Deduction for routine not up to level

    I have seen a few threads mention that a deduction can be taken for an optional routine not being "up to level". What exactly does this mean, and what is the standard against which it taken? Other girls at that particular meet? There is so much discussion of the optional requirements (so many...

    WAG Deduction on cross handstand

    I don't know anything about how scoring works adn I'm rather new to gymnastics. My daughter will compete new L3 in the fall. She keeps doing the 3/4 handstand from the old L4 beam routine instead of the new complete handstand. If this were to happen in a meet would she get any points for...

    WAG L8 - Composition Deductions and New Cs

    I looked back at some of the old threads before the optional requirements were finalized and was curious about a couple schools of thought.

    Leg separation deduction?

    Where do coach look for leg separations on trampoline? Actual legs, ankles, feet? Just wondering because I have a gap between my clegs and I just can't press them all the way together. Will I get deducted even if my feet and ankles are together? Sorry if the wording is confusing.
