What is the courtesy score for unusual situations (incomplete exercise due to injury / unusual circumstances)?

• A. 3.00
• B. 4.00
• C. 2.00
• D. 5.00

Answer: (B)

When a routine cannot be completed because of an injury or other unusual circumstances, a courtesy score is used to provide a fair, fixed value so the meet can continue. The rules specify that this courtesy score is four points. This mid-range, non-deducted value ensures the gymnast isn’t left with a zero while not overrating the incomplete performance. Other options would either understate the situation or exceed what the policy assigns for an incomplete routine, so four points is the designated courtesy score in these cases.
