If the gymnast falls and does not remount, resulting in missing a dismount, which deductions apply?

• A. 0.50 fall; 0.50 for missing dismount; 0.30 no dismount
• B. 0.50 fall; 0.50 for spot
• C. 0.30 for no dismount only
• D. 0.50 fall only

Answer: (A)

When a routine ends with a dismount, each distinct fault can carry its own deduction. A fall on the apparatus is worth 0.50. If that fall prevents the gymnast from remounting to complete the dismount, you also deduct for not completing the dismount (0.50). In addition, because the gymnast did not perform a dismount at all, there is a separate 0.30 deduction for no dismount. All three deductions apply together: 0.50 for the fall, 0.50 for missing the dismount, and 0.30 for no dismount. This reflects recognizing both the fall itself and the fact that the required dismount was not executed.
