What is the total deduction if a 3 pass routine includes an inappropriate combination of elements leading to a C + B and no D or E saltos?

In gymnastics, routines must meet specific element value requirements to avoid deductions. For a routine containing a 3 pass combination, it is expected to have a balance of difficulty elements, including D and E saltos, to fulfill the composition requirements.

In the scenario where the routine features a combination of C and B elements but lacks D or E saltos, a deduction is applied due to the inappropriate combination of elements. The absence of the required higher difficulty elements (D or E) results in a deduction of 0.2. This deduction reflects the importance of including a wider range of difficulty levels in the routine to meet the established composition standards for a competitive Level 10 score.

Thus, the total deduction in this case for not including the necessary saltos is 0.2, highlighting the need for gymnasts to prepare routines that comply with the skill level expectations set by judges in gymnastics competitions.
