What does the penalty for 1/4 of the team not rotating a spin a minimum of 3 revolutions result in?

When a quarter of the team does not complete the required minimum of three revolutions in a spin, it results in a penalty that impacts the level of the element being performed. Specifically, the penalty leads to the lowering of the level for that particular element. In synchro skating, elements are assigned levels based on their execution, including requirements such as the number of revolutions. If the standard is not met — in this case, the minimum revolutions — the element cannot be considered at its full potential level and is therefore downgraded to a lower one, impacting the team’s overall score.

This penalty mechanism encourages teams to execute elements correctly and meet the specified criteria, ensuring that all members contribute to the execution quality of shared elements such as spins. Maintaining the required revolutions is essential for achieving higher levels and maximizing the score on technical elements. Other options refer to no value or feature counts which are irrelevant to the specific situation of the spin penalty.
