Compositional deductions are not hidden. There are standard ones for all levels 8-10, then there are specific compositional deductions for each level 8-10. They are not hidden, there is a chart in the COP very specifically outlining the deductions. I dearly hope they are not going to be coming off the start value, as that add a whole other level to calculating the start value for us judges. I don't see how subtracting compositional deductions from the start value is beneficial or necessary.

I don't think they meant the composition deductions are literally hidden. I think they meant that with the comp deductions being added to the start value, the coaches will be able to better understand and "see" if their gymnasts get comp deductions or not. I actually think doing this is a good idea. While it may be a pain, it'll keep judges accountable for actually taking comp deductions. I've heard some judges don't even bother with composition while judging...
