Q: What are the deduction values for 2026-27?

USASF Scoring System deductions (effective 8/1/2026), each per occurrence unless noted: Deduction Value Athlete fall (hand/knee down or incomplete twist in tumbling or jumps) 0.25 Major athlete fall (multiple body parts down) 0.5 Building bobble (almost drops, saved) 0.5 Building fall (drops from a building skill or transition) 1.0 Major building fall (drops to the performance surface) 1.5 Legality infraction (safety violation) 2.0 Skill performed out of level (Levels 1-5, legal in Level 6) 0.5 Time limit violation 0.5 per second over Boundary violation 0.5 These values are lower than in 2025-26 (for example, athlete fall was 1.0 and building fall 3.0), in line with the move from a 170-point to a 100-point score sheet. For an incomplete tumbling twist, the landing position of the athlete's feet decides completion.
