Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

• A. Any body part touching outside the border marking is 0.10 each time.
• B. Timing on floor begins with the start of the music.
• C. Overtime deduction on floor is 0.10 per second overtime.
• D. Deduction for a coach on the floor exercise mat is 0.20

Answer: (A)

On the floor, there’s a defined performance area with a border marking. If any part of the gymnast’s body touches outside that border, a 0.10 deduction is applied for each such occurrence. This rule is straightforward and specific: it penalizes stepping or reaching beyond the allowed area and does so every time it happens. That makes this statement the best fit because it directly describes the boundary rule and the 0.10-per-instance penalty.

The other statements describe timing, overtime, and coaching penalties that are governed by different parts of the rules and do not match the standard border-out-of-bounds deduction on floor.
