What is the maximum deduction for execution and amplitude?

• A. max. 0.40
• B. Up to 0.20
• C. Up to 0.30 each - max. 0.60 on any one element
• D. Up to 0.20

Answer: (A)

Focusing on how penalties for how a move is performed and how high/long it goes are handled, there’s a cap: the total deduction for execution and amplitude on any single element cannot exceed 0.40. This means judges add up the issues related to how well the move is executed and how much amplitude it shows, but regardless of how many faults show up, the combined deduction tops out at 0.40. For example, you might have an amplitude deduction of 0.10 and several execution faults totaling 0.20, which together would be 0.30, but if the faults add up to 0.40 or more, the maximum you can take for this category is 0.40. If a situation would logically total more than 0.40, the score is capped at 0.40. This is why the maximum deduction for execution and amplitude is 0.40, not higher. Other options suggesting 0.20, 0.30 per issue, or a total up to 0.60 on one element would imply a higher cap than allowed, which isn’t how these deductions are limited. Understanding this cap helps you gauge how multiple small faults combine without ever exceeding the 0.40 limit.
