What would be the bigger deduction on a level 3 floor routine: not doing the BHS, doing it with a spot, doing it on one's own very poorly?
Thanks!!

I don't have a video. I am just curious about whether or not omitting the BHS in the floor routine would be a greater deduction than doing it with a spot. thanks!I'd have to see video of very poorly.
Thanks! And it really is just an out of curiosity question after attending a meet this week and watching different gymnasts and different coaches make different decisions!Not doing it at all. But if you mean unsafely (poorly) then please, for your child's safety sake have her take a spot or omit it. It's Level 3.
I am pretty sure that omitting is a less of a deduction. My dd had a teammate who did each one at different meets. Her score was better omitting. As for doing a very poor one vs. omitting it's not clear. If it counts as a fall then it's probably worse than omitting.I don't have a video.

As far as I know a spot is a set deduction. If the coach touches the athlete at all. Omitting is a bigger deduction than a fall alone, but on the backhandspring if is so bad that it counts as fall, you get the fall, other form deductions and possibly loss of the element as well.An omission will lose the athlete the value of the element which is more than a fall. A spot can vary depending on how much help the coach provides. A bad one---well, it just depends.
I see it less in Optionals than in Compulsories and more earlier in the season than later. We have 15 L3 girls... 6 do their ROBHS without a coach even on the floor... 4 have a coach stand there, but not spot ... 3 have BEAUTIFUL ones, IF a coach lightly spots, but are scared to do it unless they feel a finger on their backs... and 2 just omit the BHS. Other teams in our district seem to have about the same ratios.I have been to lots of meets here and have never seen a coach spot any skill ever. Is it really that common in the US?
I will say they sometimes stand in on bars but never on the floor!I have been to lots of meets here and have never seen a coach spot any skill ever. Is it really that common in the US?
