Nope, she had mentioned that DD would have medaled (2nd place). Nothing would have happened for a tenth deduction. Oh well, we weren't expecting big numbers, but at least hoped for top half. I'm a little disheartened that her coaches didn't know (or teach) some things that lead to big deductions- I'm not only speaking of this instance.
I'd be a little concerned that the coach told you it was a 1 point deduction. Because either 1) they just don't know what they are talking about or 2) They told you that was the reason for the score being whatever it was to have a way to explain the score other than we stink as coaches.
I think you mentioned in another post, but could totally be confusing you with someone else that the girls placed really low at the meet. So perhaps the coach said that in order to make you think your daughter would have been 2nd place without that small little salute issue.
