USA Gymnastics (USAG) Judging XB-XG Practice Test

Which of the following is true about Insufficient amplitude of casts in GOLD Division?

Insufficient amplitude of casts is up to 0.30 deduction. Insufficient amplitude of casts is up to 0.10 deduction. There is no amplitude deduction for casts in GOLD. Amplitude deductions apply only to Start Value.

Correct Answer:

Insufficient amplitude of casts is up to 0.10 deduction.

Explanation:

When judging casts, you’re looking at how fully extended and elevated the gymnast’s body is as they move away from the bar. If the cast isn’t tall enough, a deduction for insufficient amplitude is added to the execution score. In GOLD Division, that deduction is capped at 0.10. So a minor shortfall in height costs up to 0.10, not more. The other possibilities don’t fit: 0.30 would be too large for GOLD, there is indeed a deduction for insufficient amplitude, and amplitude deductions relate to execution, not Start Value (which is set by the routine’s difficulty).
