Deductions on Floor Routine

[SignHere]

In my efforts to become a more educated observer of the sport, I have come across a term describing the hand position in the back extension roll as being "staged". I have NOT been able to figure this one out, and I don't really want to bug my daughter's coach. It's also a 0.10 deduction on floor in the Level 5 Floor Routine, so it seems relatively important.

Anybody got an answer for me?

Thanks in advance!

Staggered?

The fingertips point inward, toward each other I think. Not sure if this is what the term refers to.

Hi, I found the following...

***BACK EXTENSION ROLL- Do not place hands on floor before rolling backwards (0.30 deduction)

Hands staged or not placed at the same time (0.10 deduction)
Make sure you pass through vertical (up to 0.30 deduction)​

DO NOT DO a backward roll step out, this is an element change (0.60 deduction)

on this page.

It sounds like it has something to do with putting both hands down at the same time versus one then the other or maybe not right next to each other, but staggered?.
