Deduction applied according to small, medium, and large errors. Illustration refers to degree of closure of upper body towards the legs. Gymnast begins to extend or completely extens hips prior to landing, but upon landing cannot maintain upper body posture and closes upper torso downward toward the legs (compresses), apply ^0.20 deduction for "incorrect body posture on landing". Gymnast never opens, lands in a full squat position and proceeds to fall. Deduct 0.50 for the fall, In assition, deduct 0.30 for lack of open and ^0.20 for incorrect body posture. Clarification - Steps on Landing 1. A step-close is considered one step and receives a 0.10 deduction. A very small step-close or other small foot movement would receive a 0.05 deduction. Examples of one step = 0.10 The Gymnast lands with feet together, them takes one step forward, sideward, or backward on the right foot; then returns the Right foot to join the Left foot OR the Gymnast lands with feet together, then takes one step forward, backword, or sideward on the Right foot; then steps with the Left foot to join the Right foot. 2. If the Gymnast is out of control or has additional movements to maintain balance after the step(s), additional deductions may be applied. 3. There is a maximum deduction of 0.40 for steps 9regardless of size or number); however, if the steps result in a fall, deduct only 0.50 for the fall. a. If the Gymnast lands a Bar or Beam dismount with feet a maimum of hip-width apart, there is no deduction, provided she slides her heels together on the controlled extension. If the entire foot slides or is lifted off the mat to join, it is considered a small step. b. If the Gymnast lands with feet apart or staggered and then continued to take steps, deduct only for the steps. Then deductions for landing with feet apart / staggered are to be applied only when the Gymnast 'sticks' the landing on Bar / Beam Dismounts, Vault and on an Isolated Salto or the Last Salto in an Acro Series on Floor Exercise.
