If skaters end the first pi rotation before intersecting occurs in all corners, how is this judged?

When skaters end the first pi rotation before all corners intersect, this situation is evaluated under the guidelines set for synchro skating. Specifically, this is judged as piB.

In synchro skating, the term "pi" refers to a specific type of element during the performance of the routine, and the distinctions between various classifications (like piC and piB) are significant for judging. A piB indicates that there was a minor fault in the execution of the element due to the timing or alignment of the skaters not meeting the necessary criteria for a complete execution as defined in the rules.

In this case, the failure to achieve the necessary intersections in all corners means that while the skaters may have performed the rotation, not all criteria were satisfied for the element to count as a complete, valid execution. Thus, the judges would denote this with a piB classification, assessing it according to the defined criteria for that level of performance.
