What is the maximum deduction for failure to attain vertical during a Level 4 beam dismount?

In Level 4 gymnastics, a beam dismount requires that the athlete achieves a vertical position upon landing. The maximum deduction for failure to attain vertical is set at 0.30. This means if the gymnast lands in a position that is not upright or if there is a significant lean or angle in the body upon landing, the judge will assess the performance and apply a deduction based on the severity of the deviation from the vertical position.

This deduction reflects the importance of maintaining body alignment and control during the dismount phase. A larger deduction, like 0.50, would typically apply for more severe mistakes or falls, which would not be appropriate for a simple failure to achieve vertical but rather for an overall lack of control or balance. Therefore, the correct maximum deduction for not attaining vertical is appropriately capped at 0.30, emphasizing the expectation for clear execution in this aspect of the routine.
