Women Beam deductions during fall

[andrea121477]

Hello! My daughter is a level 6 gymnast. If she falls after her back handspring and grabs the beam on the way down, is that an extra deduction? Or just the .5 for the fall plus any form/amplitude deductions?

I do not believe there’s any additional deduction for grabbing the beam. I think a fall is a fall. There could be additional deductions surrounding the skill itself depending, but I don’t think it would be a result of grabbing the beam. But I am certainly no expert, just a parent that has been around the sport 11 years and has asked a lot of questions
