What can a judge deduct for non-value parts failure of execution during a routine?

In the context of gymnastics judging, non-value parts are elements in a gymnast's routine that do not fulfill a specific value as defined in the Code of Points, yet still impact the overall quality of the performance. When a gymnast fails to execute these non-value parts properly, judges notice the deficiencies in execution, such as lack of control, poor form, or insufficient connection.

A judge can deduct up to .3 for failures in execution related to non-value parts. This deduction serves to recognize that while these elements may not contribute to the overall score directly in terms of value, their execution still affects the aesthetic and technical quality of the routine. The scale of deduction reflects the importance of executing all parts of the routine with precision, regardless of whether they hold value credit. This approach encourages gymnasts to strive for excellence in every aspect of their routine, ensuring a well-rounded performance.

The other options, while indicating some level of deduction, do not accurately represent the maximum allowable deduction for this specific criterion, which is distinctively recognized at .3.
