The rule is simple. If 80% of the maneuver is out, there is an 8 point downgrade plus downgrades for the manuever itself.
TA maneuvers (including entry/exit lines) are judged in similar fashion to poorly centered, center maneuvers. The downgrade is 2 points for every 1/4 maneuver out. This does not include any downgrades for the maneuver itself. Therefore in an otherwise perfect TA that was outside the box by half the maneuver length including entry line, 4 point deduction is warranted.
Those downgrades are guides, according to the rules. The rule actually states that "the downgrade assigned should be proportinal to the percentage of the maneuver that is out of the area. "
