What is the deduction for failure to remove the board after the mount?

• A. 0.50
• B. 0.30
• C. 0.30 - taken by Chief Judge from average score
• D. No deduction

Answer: (C)

Failing to remove the board after mounting is treated as a small oversight that affects the cleanliness and safety of the apparatus. The penalty for this is 0.30 points. This deduction is applied by the Chief Judge, who subtracts 0.30 from the panel’s average score rather than adding something to a single judge’s score. Using the average in this way keeps the penalty fair and consistent across judges. The other options don’t fit because the standard penalty is 0.30, and the rule specifies it’s taken from the average score by the Chief Judge, not as a different amount or as a direct deduction from an individual score.
