What maximum deduction is assessed for insufficient amplitude of a cast during a Level 4 bars cast to horizontal?

The maximum deduction for insufficient amplitude of a cast during a Level 4 bars cast to horizontal is 0.30. This deduction reflects the importance of achieving the correct position and height in a cast, which is essential for demonstrating the gymnast’s control and skill level. In this level, the cast is expected to reach a horizontal position, and failing to achieve sufficient amplitude indicates a lack of proper technique or strength.

The judges have specific guidelines regarding the deductions based on how far below the horizontal position the cast falls. A maximum deduction of 0.30 allows judges to evaluate the degree of error in amplitude while still maintaining a fair scoring system based on the gymnast's performance level.
