What is the bonus for performing a B + D acro combination on the beam?

Performing a combination of a B + D acro element on the balance beam earns a bonus of 0.20. In gymnastics scoring, the value of elements is determined by their difficulty, and combinations of different difficulty values can yield bonus points. When acrobatic elements with different values are successfully combined in one routine, such as a B (backward or forward skill of medium difficulty) and a D (a more difficult skill), the gymnast demonstrates both technical ability and compositional complexity.

The scoring system encourages gymnasts to incorporate higher-difficulty elements effectively, hence awarding additional bonus points for achieving this combination. This bonus can significantly impact the overall score, underscoring the importance of both the execution and the difficulty of skills performed in a routine.
