What is the maximum value deduction for a single missed landing phase requirement?

The maximum value deduction for a single missed landing phase requirement is 0.5. In gymnastics judging, specific elements and skills are required to receive full credit for a routine. When a gymnast fails to fulfill a landing requirement, such as not completing a landing appropriately or sticking the landing as required, the judges must deduct points according to established guidelines.

The deduction of 0.5 reflects the significance of the landing in the overall execution and presentation of a routine, impacting the overall score by a substantial margin. This deduction emphasizes the importance of landings in maintaining the integrity and quality of the performance. The maximum deduction of 0.5 serves to penalize the gymnast while still allowing for some scoring potential in other areas of the routine.
