Editing Balance beam (section)

=== Scoring ===
''For detailed information on score tabulation, please see the [[Code of Points (artistic gymnastics)|Code of Points]] article.''

Several aspects of the performance determine the gymnast's final mark. All elements in the routine, as well as all errors, are noted by the judges.

Deductions are taken for all errors made while on the beam, including lapses in control, balance checks (i.e., wobbling or stumbling to maintain balance), poor technique and execution, and failure to fulfill the required ''Code of Points'' elements. Falls automatically incur a deduction depending on the level the gymnast is on.<ref>{{cite web|title=WAG Code of Points 2009-2012 |url=http://figdocs.lx2.sportcentric.com/external/serve.php?document=1258 |publisher=[[Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique|FIG]] |page=15 |format=PDF |access-date=2009-10-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111219204732/http://figdocs.lx2.sportcentric.com/external/serve.php?document=1258 |archive-date=2011-12-19 }}</ref>
