I'd like judges comments of course, but I'm sure many coaches and parents know the answers also.
I'm not trying to be my DD's coach. I'm just curious and like to be educated as much as possible. I was watching DD's meet that one of the other parents was so gracious to provide for me and I had a few deduction questions.
On my DD's floor routine she (level 4 by the way), she does her arms at the beginning of the routine and before she does the bounce/bounce/straight jump/split jump she loses her balance and takes a few steps back to steady herself. How much would a judge deduct for 2 small steps backwards? Really it was more of a shuffle backwards. It was really weird.
She was pretty nervous looking and while I thought it was a great routine she looks down at the floor alot. Her coach said she'll get deducted for that. What kind of deduction is that? Presentation? And how much?
Last question is about arms. How much gets deducted for the wrong arm positions? For example if the text says the arms are up and she has them to the side. Just curious.
These are things that the coaches are actively working on so I'm not worried. She just learned alot of the arms placements wrong at her other gym and it's taking her time to change them. She has her arms wrong at the beginning of her floor routine on her split jump. She has them up and I guess they are supposed to be shoulder height.
Thanks!
