How much is deducted for casting to above horizontal with insufficient amplitude in Level 5 bars?

When casting to above horizontal on Level 5 bars, judges assess not only the angle of the cast but also the amplitude, which refers to the height or degree to which the gymnast lifts their body above horizontal. Insufficient amplitude in this skill indicates that the gymnast has not achieved the necessary height above horizontal, thus failing to meet the requirements for that element.

For Level 5, a deduction of up to 0.30 is applied in cases where the casting is executed to above horizontal, but the amplitude is deemed insufficient. This is a significant deduction because it reflects a fundamental expectation in the routine; the skill's proper execution is critical for demonstrating strength and control, which are key components of a gymnast's overall performance score.
