If an acro element is landed in a squat/compressed position and then falls, what is the maximum possible score?

• A. Up to 0.30
• B. Up to 0.30 + flat 0.50
• C. Flat 0.50
• D. Flat 0.30

Answer: (B)

When evaluating an acro element on floor, you credit the element’s difficulty value. For Level 10 floor, an acro element can be worth up to 0.30. If the element ends with a fall, there is a fixed fall deduction of 0.50. So, if you land in a squat/compressed position and then fall, you still receive the element’s maximum value (0.30) plus the flat fall deduction (0.50), totaling 0.80. The fall penalty is separate from the element’s value, which is why the total can be 0.80 rather than just 0.50 or 0.30.
