Which scenario yields a 0.30 maximum for a salto element?

• A. Lands acro element in squat/compressed position, then falls
• B. Brush/touch landing surface with 1 or 2 hands (no support)
• C. Insufficient height of salto element
• D. Spotting assistance upon landing of an element

Answer: (C)

In a salto, the height you achieve during the element is a key factor for how cleanly it’s judged. When the height is insufficient, judges apply a fixed maximum execution deduction of 0.30 specifically for that issue. So the scenario described as having insufficient height of the salto element matches this allowance exactly, making it the best answer for a 0.30 maximum. Other scenarios describe problems that are more about control or landing faults (such as finishing in a squat or compressing before a fall, brushing the landing with the hands, or receiving spotting during landing). Those issues typically carry larger penalties or fall into different deduction categories, not the 0.30 cap applied to insufficient height.
