What is the consequence if less than 1/4 of the team does not attempt the Twizzles?

If less than 1/4 of the team does not attempt the Twizzles, the element is lowered one level. This adjustment reflects the rule that the performance of required elements needs a certain level of participation from the skaters for it to meet the expectations of the judging criteria. When less than the specified number of team members completes an element, it indicates that the overall execution does not fulfill the necessary standards for that element's original level. Therefore, the consequence of lowering the level acknowledges the lack of full participation and alters the assessment accordingly. This fosters the integrity of the competition by ensuring that all required skills are demonstrated effectively by the team.
