Deductions Explained
Deductions are subtracted from your total score based on mistakes during your performance. A single major fall can be the difference between first and second place.
How Deductions Work
Your Final Score = Total Score - Deductions. Deductions are applied after all category scores are tallied. The most impactful deductions are building falls and division violations.
