How are FX dance elements with 1 C scored in terms of competition level?

In gymnastics, when assessing floor exercise (FX) dance elements that are classified as a 'C' element, the scoring reflects the difficulty value associated with that specific skill. For a dance element designated as a 'C', the correct point value that is awarded in the competition setting is indeed 0.2.

This scoring is grounded in the established Code of Points, which outlines the value of difficulty elements in gymnastics. Elements are categorized by their complexity, and each letter corresponds to a different value; typically, 'A' elements are worth less than 'B', 'C', and beyond. Thus, for elements with a designation of 'C', they carry a higher level of difficulty than lower categories, which justifies the higher score of 0.2.

Understanding this scoring is essential for assessing routines as it directly influences the overall total score a gymnast can achieve, reflecting not only their execution but also the complexity of the skills they perform.
