For 8-11 skaters, how many skaters need to make an error for it to be counted?

In synchro skating, when evaluating the performance of teams with 8-11 skaters, a specific number of skaters must make an error for that error to be recognized and counted in the overall assessment. For this particular grouping, the standard is that 2 skaters need to make the error. This criterion is established to ensure that minor mistakes do not disproportionately impact the team's score and that errors are significant enough to warrant consideration in terms of the team's overall performance quality.

This system allows for a more nuanced evaluation, distinguishing between isolated mistakes and those that may suggest a consistent issue within the team's execution. When fewer than 2 skaters make an error, the judges often consider the issue to be less influential on the team's performance.
