What would be the deduction for failing to include an acro series with a C salto plus an additional D flight in a balance beam routine?

In a Level 10 balance beam routine, specific skill requirements must be met to fulfill the composition requirements. An acro series that includes a C salto and an additional D flight element is a crucial component of a gymnast's routine, as it demonstrates both difficulty and the ability to connect elements smoothly.

If a competitor fails to include this required acro series, a significant deduction is warranted due to the omission of a major requirement. Since the absence of this combination misses the expected level of difficulty, the deduction is set at 0.2. This is reflective of the importance placed on both the execution and composition requirements in a gymnastics routine at this level. Missing such a critical element not only impacts the artistry and flow of the routine but also the required technical skills needed to achieve a competitive score in gymnastics.
