    Studying for Judging Test

    Alright, I'm studying to take the level 5/6 judging test in a little over a month. I've made some flash cards and all that good stuff. Didn't know if any of you had some advice of better ways to study or anything that may help. Thanks!:)

    Vault Judging (yet again)

    We hosted a meet this weekend and all went well but I'm still confused by the vault is judged for the women's USAG program. I try to train the front handspring vault as if the vaulter plans on flipping someday be it a front front or tsuk. I coach a short preflight for a higher vault that...

    Judges' Room at meets

    When you go to a meet and there is a judges' room for meals, what food items do you hope to see or dread seeing when you walk in? I've been asked to oversee the judges' room at our next home meet, so I thought I'd ask the experts! The question also applies to coaches' rooms. Thanks!

    Judges Mock Meet

    Beetle is having her Judges Mock Meet tomorrow night. Her ankle is holding up. Looks like she will compete Vault, Bars & Floor. No beam because she can't use her brace or tape on the beam (gym rules). I think she will do fine! I think I need the luck to be calm and cool about the ankle!

    **Judges Cup and Regular Meets**

    Is there a difference between a "regular" meet and a Judges Cup? Do they like score differently or something? Or is that just a different name for a "regular" meet?

    Thank you to all who shared those fairies with us yesterday. Older DD did well...definitely some good, some bad, and some ugly! The meet was super cute Halloween-themed with day-glo all over the place and "carnival games" between each event. First up was vault...not her strength but she...

    Parents A Parents guide to understanding Gymnastics Judging.

    Over the last few weeks, I've read an increasing amount of questions on this and other boards regarding how judges "see things" and how things are scored from parents point of view. I have many of the same questions, if not more. But allow me to share what I've learned so far -from one parent to...

    Hi all, I have my 'club judge' exam tomorrow (basically this will qualify me to be the E panel judge - the nasty one who takes all the marks away! Although I am told at smaller competitions we may be required to be the D panel aswell!) It has been a pretty intense course, just 3 days long...
