scoring

Is there any truth to judges scoring the first that starts on each event so they have a guide to score the rest of the girls? Thanks, Jean:)

I know that in level 5 you have two judges per event. Do they take the average of the two scores or the highest of the two scores?? I have to do tabulations for our next meet and I was just wondering............. Thanks!!

Anyone familiar with scoring at the Games? A Chinese friend forwarded me this link. Just scroll down to see a few pics and videos of Liukin's performance. Anyone knows if the scoring rules would give any deductions for this? http://cache.tianya.cn/publicforum/content/funinfo/1/1238218.shtml

What do you think about holding back gymnasts (on a level) who are scoring very high? I am talking about the compulsory levels, and kids who are scoring in the 37's and 38's in the AA. I am at a gym that allows parents to hold their kids back if they are nervous or for various other reasons...

Is anyone else still trying to figure out this new scoring system. I understand that they get two scores, one of difficulty and one for execution. Now, is there a maximum number of points they can recieve for execution--is that still out of a 10? I think, and please correct me if I'm wrong...
