What is the deduction for too long in support for the SILVER Division vaulting?

• A. Up to 0.50
• B. Up to 0.20
• C. Up to 0.30
• D. Up to 0.25

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is recognizing the fixed point deduction assigned for pausing too long in contact with the vault apparatus during a vault attempt. In the Silver Division, if the gymnast stays in contact with the vault table (or otherwise delays the start of the preflight) longer than allowed, a deduction is taken to penalize that extra hold time and encourage a clean, continuous push into the preflight phase. That specific violation carries a 0.20-point deduction in Silver. So when a gymnast lingers on the table beyond the permitted moment before initiating the preflight, 0.20 points are subtracted from the vault’s score. This value is a standard amount for this fault in Silver, regardless of other factors in the vault execution. If you see other options, they reference different amounts, but the accepted standard for too long in support in Silver vaulting is 0.20 points.
