If an exercise includes .6 or more total bonus with 1 E, what additional bonus may be awarded?

In gymnastics scoring, when an exercise includes a total of .6 or more bonus points along with one element rated as an E, the gymnast is eligible for additional bonus points. In this specific scenario, the gymnast can earn an additional 0.1 bonus points.

This rule helps encourage gymnasts to perform higher-level skills while maintaining a structure that rewards the complexity of the routine. By allowing this additional bonus for reaching a particular threshold, it incentivizes gymnasts to include difficulty and elements that might push their performance quality.

Understanding this aspect of scoring assists gymnasts and coaches in planning routines to maximize scores while enhancing the overall presentation and difficulty of the gymnastic performance.
