Which point deduction corresponds to insufficient height of the leg swing prior to a switch leap?

Which point deduction corresponds to insufficient height of the leg swing prior to a switch leap?

• A. Up to 0.10
• B. Flat 0.10
• C. Flat 0.30
• D. Flat 0.50

Answer: (A)

Height and extension of the leg swing into a switch leap signal control and line quality. When that swing doesn’t reach the required height, the penalty is a minor deduction, capped at 0.10 points. That means the judge can subtract nothing if the height is acceptable, or up to 0.10 depending on how far the swing falls short. Using the phrasing “up to 0.10” reflects that range. Fixed deductions of 0.10, 0.30, or 0.50 would imply a set penalty regardless of severity, or correspond to other, more serious faults, so they don’t match this specific issue.
