… 0.1 penalty on Vault

Several good people commented to clarify the 0.1 additional penalty on vault in Finals.

Leave a comment if you were watching for this “penalty”.

We’re clear now that both girls had their second vaults devalued for “lack of stretch”. The clarification in the May edition of the WAG Helpdesk was wrong.
