question - Why the quarter turns, 360deg?

I believe that enables the judges to access body size/height and proportion; not every person is physically able to execute every posture equally. So, while this may seem odd or superficial, it actually gives the judges and spectators a better understanding of how each pose challenges the individual competitor
