Large Step/jump on landing (approx 3 feet or more) results in which deduction?

• A. Up to 0.20
• B. 0.20
• C. Up to 0.30
• D. 0.15-0.20

Answer: (B)

When a jump or step is landed with a noticeable loss of balance, judges apply a fixed deduction for that misstep on landing. For a large step or landing distance of about three feet or more, the deduction is 0.20 points. This fixed amount reflects the moderate loss of control without escalating to a fall or more severe error. The other numbers would imply different rules or ranges that aren’t used for this specific landing issue, which is why 0.20 is the correct deduction. If there were additional errors, like a fall, extra deductions would apply separately.
