If a gymnast's choice of release element is deemed incorrect for a UB routine, what is the potential maximum deduction?

In the context of gymnastics, if a gymnast's choice of release element on the Uneven Bars (UB) is found to be incorrect, it will not incur a deduction. This is because the rules specify that a gymnast is not penalized for simply choosing a particular element that might not be in line with the expected difficulty or composition for their level, as long as the element is executed within the rules. The focus is on the performance of the element rather than its choice in this case. Therefore, the potential maximum deduction for an incorrect release element choice is zero. This encourages gymnasts to express their individuality and creativity while still adhering to performance standards.
