Incomplete turn of Group 1/2 dance elements or incomplete twist of acro elements with missing 45-89 degrees results in which deduction?

• A. Up to 0.20
• B. 0.05-0.10
• C. 0.15-0.20
• D. Up to 0.30

Answer: (C)

Deductions for incomplete rotations are tied to how much of the required turn or twist is missing. When a Group 1/2 dance element turn, or an acro element twist, is incomplete and 45–89 degrees are missing, the penalty falls in the 0.15–0.20 point range. This mid-range deduction recognizes that the element was started and is recognizable, but a substantial portion of the rotation was not completed. The scoring system uses such bands to keep judgments consistent: smaller missing angles yield smaller penalties, while larger omissions yield bigger ones; for missing 45–89 degrees, the 0.15–0.20 range is the appropriate penalty.
