Which of the following is true about Insufficient amplitude of casts in GOLD Division?

• A. Insufficient amplitude of casts is up to 0.30 deduction.
• B. Insufficient amplitude of casts is up to 0.10 deduction.
• C. There is no amplitude deduction for casts in GOLD.
• D. Amplitude deductions apply only to Start Value.

Answer: (B)

When judging casts, you’re looking at how fully extended and elevated the gymnast’s body is as they move away from the bar. If the cast isn’t tall enough, a deduction for insufficient amplitude is added to the execution score. In GOLD Division, that deduction is capped at 0.10. So a minor shortfall in height costs up to 0.10, not more.

The other possibilities don’t fit: 0.30 would be too large for GOLD, there is indeed a deduction for insufficient amplitude, and amplitude deductions relate to execution, not Start Value (which is set by the routine’s difficulty).
