If a gymnast receives aid from a coach during the vault, what is the score for that attempt?

When a gymnast receives aid from a coach during the vault, the attempt is considered to be void. This means that the gymnast does not receive any score for that performance. The rules are designed to ensure that gymnasts perform their routines independently, and any assistance from a coach during the execution of a vault violates these standards. Consequently, a void score reflects that the attempt cannot be evaluated against the gymnastics scoring system.

Understanding this helps in recognizing the importance of independent execution in gymnastics routines, particularly for levels 4 and 5, where the emphasis is placed on developing personal skill and technique without assistance.
