deduction

Posting for a friend - what is the deduction on L6 beam if you basically do the L5 dismount (missing that extra turn) but then get back up and complete it correctly?

I have several gymnasts trying to score out of current Level 6 this weekend. One is struggling with some mental stuff on beam. Just to reassure everyone, I would NOT move this girl up to Optional without the appropriate skills on EVERY event, however, step one of having the opportunity to even...

This is just for my knowledge. I was going to ask a friend who judges, but I feel like I am bugging her so much with questions. I know I should get that book...I think DD has improved so much, but I noted the low, front leg on her sl. How much of a deduction is that really? She has to learn...

What is the deduction for forgetting to salute the judges immediately but saluting after you start to walk off floor in Level 6? (I mention the level because I didn't know if they give the much lower levels, lik 3 & 4 more of a break on this.) Dd finished her floor routine, grabbed her nose due...

What is the deduction for slightly bent arms in the backward roll in the USAG Level 4 floor routine?

i recently re-watched one of my performances on floor, i realized i had a black hair tie on my wrist while i was competing. i remember being unhappy with my score, a 9.125, if i was deducted for the hair tie (my coaches said it would be) how much is the deduction? what would my score have been...

Level 7. I know you need a 180* on a split jump for a B skill. But is there a range where it counts as a B skill, with deduction for not reaching exactly 180*? (like with the hs on bars, where up to 10* hs still counts) If so, what is the minimum degree? Sent from my ADR6400L using ChalkBucket...

What are the deductions for the following? Missing the squat on? Gymnast does the opening part of the routine and goes right into the squat-on from the prior skill, gets feet on bar but falls off. Putting an extra cast in before the squat-on (like they have in L5), but makes the squat-on...

at my last meet, (little bigger) i got two weird deductions.. aparently i didn't connect my leap/jump on floor and lost a whole point. My coach even got my routine on video, and they were connected! she showed the score people (?) and even the judges. They refused to change the score. This...

Anyone know the deduction for a coach giving a spot, and talking to the gymnast during her routine? My dd needed a spot on her mill circle during her first meet on bars, and I noticed she sort of paused, until the coach had to tell her to go. She had a very low score (lower than I even...

What is the deduction for putting your hands on the beam to avoid a fall? Does it count as a fall (-.05)? My DD did this after a big wobble landing a jump. Both hands touched the beam. Poor kid can't seem to stay on the beam or keep her hands off when they're not supposed to be, this season. I...

Hi all, My daughter had her very 1st competition recently. She competes at level 5. The Judge told her that she was over the time limit for her beam routine. Does anyone know how much this deduction is? Is it a fixed deduction or is it incremental (i.e. the longer she is over the time, the...

not doing the tippy-toe straight-arm robot walk at meets? I ask that sort of tongue-in-cheek (with all of the deduction threads lately), but I do have a real question. Have any of your daughters abandoned that goofy walk? My daughter used to do it but in the middle of one meet as her team was...

I know there's a .5 deduction on a fall, but I'm wondering if the judges also deduct for errors on the skill before the fall or how deductions work when the gymnast does the skill again. For example, if a gymnast falls doing a backwalkover on beam and their legs are bent, can there also be a...

These are the questions for judges: In a sanctioned meet, can a Level 4 gymnast wear grips to compete her uneven bar routine? Will that cause some deductions on her score? The Level 4 girls in our gym all wear grips to practice their bars. Yesterday, when they competed in a sanctioned meet, I...

So, DD had her 1st meet, and had to compete first on everything since she is the youngest. On floor, she forgot to salute the judges at the end of her floor routine (and was confused at vault too). Anyway, her coach said she lost an entire point for not saluting the judges. Is that true? It...

So today was my DD's post meet practice & her coach tells them they all got a tenth deduction for their hair ribbon!(inappropriate attire) What?! I've never heard of a ribbon deduction! We were competing out of state though. Their ribbons this year are not staying tied well & will end up...

I cannot believe my dd made this mistake. She is beating herself up over it. (I was shocked, too! Though at least I am telling her she has to cut herself some slack.) She's a 9 yo L6, so she truly knows better. And during her floor routine, she lifted her hand and brushed her hair back...

My daughter competed her 1st L9 meet last week. The coach took out her double pike and replaced it temporarily with a full and a half. She was over rotating the double back tuck and under rotating the double pike. Next meet is in a month. So hopefully, she has time to tweak it. Anyway, her...

I am competing my first Level 9 meet this weekend, and I am wondering what deductions I will get on this bar routine. Bars is my best event, so I really need to perfect it, by fixing even the smalllest deductions. Also, I am studying how to judge, since I am considering becoming a judge, and I...
