Which description yields a flat deduction of 0.05 on landing?

• A. Flexed/sickle feet on VP elements
• B. Deviation from straight direction on landing
• C. Slight hop, small adjustments of feet or staggered feet on isolated acro element or last element in acro pass
• D. Small Step (max 0.40)

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that tiny faults in foot position at landing are penalized with a fixed, very small deduction. When feet are flexed or sickled on landing during a VP (Value Part) element, judges assign a flat 0.05 penalty for that foot form. It’s a minimal execution error that doesn’t involve distance or direction, just how the feet are positioned at contact with the floor. Other described issues—like deviating from a straight landing path, making a slight hop or feet adjustments on a final element, or taking a small step—are typically treated as larger or different types of faults and thus carry bigger or different deductions. Therefore, the description of flexed/sickle feet on VP elements best matches the fixed 0.05 deduction on landing.
