## How it works

Scored routines combine element difficulty, execution quality and transition stability within a limited program.

## Variants

### Mechanic variants

<a id="t152-variants"></a>

- Difficulty raises the potential score. <a id="t152-v1"></a>
- Balance requires continuous correction. <a id="t152-v2"></a>
- Landing ends an element's risky phase. <a id="t152-v3"></a>
- Connections reward suitable transitions. <a id="t152-v4"></a>

## Design example

A player replaces a difficult finale with a reliable element to preserve a clean routine landing.

Prototype check: Test separate explanations for difficulty and deductions so the result does not appear arbitrary.

## Context and limits

Sports mechanics connect execution precision to space, participant state and understandable scoring conditions. Each overview separates player actions, state changes and alternative rules. Examples are hypothetical design scenarios, not claims about a named game. A prototype check states an observable question for the next iteration. Existing detailed references remain separately linked from the direction map.
