What is required for the group lift feature if there is no continuous movement on entry impacting the main position?

For the group lift feature in synchro skating, if there is no continuous movement on entry impacting the main position, the feature is not counted. This means that in order for a lift to be recognized as valid in the context of judging, there must be some form of fluidity or continuous motion during the entry that affects the group's overall formation and synchronization. If such movement is absent, it indicates that the execution did not meet the necessary criteria for the feature to be considered successful, as judges look for dynamic and cohesive movements that contribute to the overall quality of the performance.

When a lift is performed without this required continuous movement, it fails to demonstrate the essential characteristics that judges are evaluating, leading to it not being credited as part of the routine. Therefore, while stability and other factors play important roles in scoring, the lack of continuous movement directly results in the feature not being counted towards the overall score.
