Adding an extra element to a routine affects the score by what value?

When assessing the impact of adding an extra element to a gymnastics routine, the scoring system credits additional elements with an increment that plays a significant role in the overall score. In the context of Levels 4 and 5 routines, each additional element performed in compliance with the requirements yields a value of 0.3. This value is recognized in the judging criteria, supporting the gymnast in achieving a higher overall score for their performance by incorporating complexity and additional skills. Consequently, the choice indicating that each extra element contributes 0.3 to the score reflects the importance of difficulty in gymnastics scoring, distinguishing it from the effects of other lesser values that would not accurately represent the contribution of an extra element in a level 4 or 5 routine.
