Which deduction is for incomplete turn of Group 1/2 dance elements or incomplete twist of acro elements when 45-89 degrees are missing?

Which deduction is for incomplete turn of Group 1/2 dance elements or incomplete twist of acro elements when 45-89 degrees are missing?

• A. Up to 0.20
• B. 0.05-0.10
• C. 0.15-0.20
• D. Up to 0.30

Answer: (C)

When a required turn or twist isn’t completed, judges penalize based on how much rotation is missing. Missing 45 to 89 degrees means you’ve under-rotated a substantial amount, but not enough to be classified as a larger error. That mid-range shortfall earns a deduction in the 0.15 to 0.20 points area. It reflects that the element was significantly off the completion standard, reducing its value, without implying a more severe failure that would carry a larger deduction. If the under-rotation were smaller, the penalty would be lower (a small deduction), and for a larger shortfall, the penalty would be higher (up to around 0.30 points or more, depending on the exact severity and category). The same concept applies to incomplete twists in acro elements—the degree of missing rotation drives the same mid-range deduction when it’s in the 45–89 degree range.
