What is the score for an indirect C + A connection salto that is performed as a dismount, but does not meet competition standards?

In gymnastics, an indirect connection between elements is assessed based on specific criteria, including how well the elements are executed and whether they meet competition standards. In this case, when referring to an indirect connection involving a C (which generally signifies a level of difficulty) and an A (the lowest level), and it is performed as a dismount, the connection must still adhere to certain execution standards to avoid deductions.

When a dismount does not meet the competition standards, it typically incurs a deduction. The level of the connection and the failure to meet established criteria result in a smaller deduction rather than a complete score of zero. Therefore, a deduction of 0.1 would be applied to this indirect connection salto dismount that does not meet the necessary competition standards. This score aligns with the understanding that while elements are connected and certain difficulty is acknowledged, the lack of proper execution still impacts the final score but it still acknowledges the attempt.

Hence, the deduction is not as severe as to warrant a score of zero, which would indicate no value is given to the elements performed at all. Instead, a deduction of 0.1 reasonably reflects the attempt while penalizing the lack of compliance with standards.
