What is the penalty for insufficient leg positions in non-value parts of a routine?

The penalty for insufficient leg positions in non-value parts of a routine is set at 0.3. This penalty applies when a gymnast does not demonstrate the expected leg positions during elements that do not carry a specific value. Insufficient leg positions can detract from the overall aesthetic appeal and execution of a routine, which judges are trained to score according to defined criteria. In this case, a 0.3 deduction reflects the significance of maintaining proper leg form to uphold the level of performance expected in a Level 10 routine, ensuring that gymnasts strive for excellence and precision in all aspects of their routines, including elements that may not directly contribute to value elements but are still crucial for overall presentation.
