    WAG Becoming a judge in Australia

    Hi Chalkbucketers, I've always been interested in the technical side of gymnastics and I think it would be very interesting to become a judge. I've been looking for information on the Gymnastics Australia webpage and found that the course I need to take is a beginner's judging course for WAG...

    Parents Judging harder in some states or regions?

    I continue to read and hear parents say oh well they judge harder here or if their daughter competed in a different state than where they are from? I'm just trying to figure out if #1 is that true? #2 do they say that to make their DD lower scores more justified #3 if it is true why? I thought...

    WAG L4 floor help -- Judges or coaches -- anyone willing to look?

    State meet is just around the corner, and DD is frustrated with floor scores. Anyone (judges, coaches or experienced parents) willing to take a look and share thoughts/feedback? I can PM her highest scoring and lowest scoring floor routines of the season. Thanks!

    Parents Gym owner also a judge at meet

    Just curious if this is normal for gymnastics. At a recent meet, the owner of the hosting gym was also a judge for the meet. This seems, in my humble opinion, to be a conflict of interest, but in gymnastics is this just common and normal? All of the top 3 (sometimes 4) spots in all results were...

    WAG Judge a routine

    Would someone be willing to judge my daughter's level 8 floor, bars and vault? She recently had a mock meet, but we don't receive any feedback. She's extremely nervous about this season and I was thinking if she knew about what to expect sore wise, it might help....thanks!!

    Parents Question on judges notes...

    Today at my DD L4 practice meet she got notes back on her events on things to work on. One of the notes said she must squat in her double flip flop. What does that mean? Is that for after the round off prior to the first flip flop? I have limited gymnastics knowledge & I didn't want to...

    WAG Are parents allowed to judge their own kids?

    ...fyi, I have NO desire to EVER be a judge....I will leave that to the professionals....but I really got curious if this ever happens. Someone out there let me know. I wouldn't think it would matter as there is more than one judge per event....but does it happen?

    WAG Judge My DDs Bar Routine (Lvl 5)

    I've recently joined the Chalk Bucket community and see lots of parents posting videos and asking for critiques. We would love if someone would help us out by judging my DDs lvl 5 bars routine. The score she received was not what we were expecting so we're interested in obtaining some advice...

    WAG Food for judges at meets

    If you are a judge or work providing judges food at meets, what do you provide for them? The few people that handled this area for meets we host are no longer with the gym and I'm helping take over that area. Are there any requirements of what must be provided? (E.g. Vegetarian options, food...

    MAG a question about judges...

    ...it comes from my child, and she is young, so bear with her (and me): She has watched many meets. Perhaps it is luck of the 'draw' so to speak in what she has watched. But she has noticed that men judge the women, yet she has not seen any women judge the men. She would like to know if women do...

    WAG Coach/judge question - beam series/flight

    Can someone who "knows", tell me if they believe that the dive cartwheel / round off done in this video (not mine, but public on youtube) would get credit as a connection? And would that also count as flight for L7? Thank you!

    WAG XCEL Gold Judges, Help

    Hi. I have been wondering this for a long time..... My daughter competes Xcel Gold this year, and as I watch gymnasts throw big skilled routines and earn 9.2s, I see them get beat by gymnasts doing the minimum, easiest skills allowed, earning 9.3 and winning. How is it that kids who compete...
