What is the maximum deduction for leg or knee separation on an element?

• A. 0.10
• B. 0.20
• C. 0.30
• D. 0.40

Answer: (B)

Leg or knee separation on an element is treated as a minor form error that affects the lines of the body. The rule caps how much this particular mistake can cost on a single element, so the maximum deduction for leg or knee separation is 0.20. This means that no matter how many times or how severely the legs separate during that element, you won’t lose more than 0.20 for this issue on that element. Smaller separations might get smaller notes, but the cap stays at 0.20, keeping the penalty proportionate to the error without over-penalizing.
