example, deducted a total of 0.6 or 0.7, he may
apply a total deduction of 0.65.
14General - II
- Stretched versus piked positions are evaluated
completely by the A panel. That is, if an element

- Each identical finishing position on strength
parts determines repetition. - Deductions are taken both for the initial entry
position (gt15) and for the actual hold position.

deduct 0.2 for the felge coming in too high, and

hands flat to the ground. If the hands are turned
in, there is a deduction. If the body is resting
on the arms, there is non recognition.
