Hi! My DD is Xcel Bronze, not sure if that matters for my question.
I am curious how the deductions work on beam.
Balance checks (arm waves, etc.) count as a deduction, right? A fall does, as well, obviously. Are they worth the same deduction?
If a gymnast balance checks while fighting to stay on the beam then falls off... Is that a deduction for the arm waving, etc. AND the fall? Or just the fall?
This happened to my DD tonight, so I'm just curious. She fought so hard to stay on (which makes me very proud!), just couldn't do it.
