What is the deduction for an extra kick up to handstand resulting in a fall to a flat back in Bronze 1B vault?

• A. 0.50
• B. 0.25
• C. 1.00
• D. 0.00

Answer: (A)

In vault, any extra pre-flight movement that isn’t part of the credited vault is penalized with a half-point deduction. An extra kick up to handstand fits that category—it's an extra action before the vault that can disrupt the technique, and if it leads to a fall, the standard penalty still applies. So the deduction you’d take for this situation is half a point. That’s why the option reflecting half a point is the best choice. A smaller deduction wouldn’t cover the extra pre-flight movement, a larger one would imply a more serious fault, and no deduction would ignore the error.
