If a coach spots a dismount on Bars or Beam, what is the deduction and does the dismount receive Value Part Credit?

• A. Deduct 0.50 for the spot. The dismount does receive Value Part Credit, but does not incur the 0.30 deduction for no dismount.
• B. Deduct 0.50 for the spot. The dismount does not receive Value Part Credit, and there is no 0.30 deduction.
• C. No deduction; the spot is ignored.
• D. Deduct 0.30 for the spot; dismount receives Value Part Credit.

Answer: (B)

When a coach spots a dismount on Bars or Beam, the rule assigns a 0.50 deduction for the spot because the element was assisted. Because the dismount was Spot-assisted, it does not earn Value Part Credit. The 0.30 deduction is not applied in this scenario, so there isn't an extra penalty beyond the spot itself. So the correct outcome is a 0.50 deduction for the spot, no Value Part Credit for the dismount, and no 0.30 deduction.
