How far apart do your hands need to be in a wide-arm handstand for it to be counted in a competition? If they aren't wide enough do they deduct points or just not count it at all? Trying to get a routine together for a competition and this seems like the only C I am close to achieving

Wide-Arm Handstand

nowdays, judges look for roughly the distance of one fist from head to floor. you may get credit for being higher than that though but it's generally the ideal.
That's with the head looking towards the floor or in a neutral position, because most of the videos I see have the person with their head tilted back looking more at the floor
Generally with eyes looking towards the floor, head neutral. But you will see them crane their head out often.
Okay, thanks. I can do about two fists off the ground right now so I don't know if I'll have it in time
