If a dancer's split is missing 1-20 degrees, which deduction category applies?

• A. Insufficient split when required (dance/acro elements)
• B. Insufficient height of aerials & acro flights with hand support
• C. Insufficient split when required (dance/acro elements)- missing 1-20 degrees
• D. Lower vp

Answer: (C)

When a required split isn’t fully achieved, the scoring uses a category that reflects how much is missing. If the dancer’s split is short by 1–20 degrees, the deduction is recorded under the specific category that notes “insufficient split when required” with the explicit missing-degrees range. This precise labeling keeps scoring consistent and fair across performances, because minor deficits are treated differently from larger ones. In this case, 1–20 degrees short fits that exact category, making it the correct choice. The other options refer to different issues—height of aerials and acro flights with hand support, or a separate, unrelated deduction—so they don’t apply to a slight split shortfall.
