What is the maximum deduction for missing 46+ degrees on a split leap?

In gymnastics, when assessing a split leap, one of the key criteria is the degree of split achieved by the gymnast. If the split leap does not reach a minimum angle of 46 degrees, it is considered significantly under-rotated relative to the level of difficulty expected. While there are specific deductions associated with various aspects of a gymnast's performance, missing this specific split angle affects the value of the skill being executed.

When a gymnast does not achieve the necessary split of 46 degrees or more, the judge may award a lower value for that specific value part (VP) in the routine. This means that not only is there a deduction, but it directly impacts the scoring for that skill, reflecting the reduced execution quality. It is essential for gymnasts to meet the required criteria for skill execution to maintain the integrity and value of their performance scores.

Other options do not accurately reflect the scoring implications associated with missing the minimum split requirement. The maximum deduction typically would not be a flat score deduction such as 0.10 or a range like 0.15-0.20, nor does it translate to a 1.00 deduction, which is excessively high and rare. Thus, the correct consequence for a skill performed below standard, specifically
