    Parents Question on Judging of the "Better" Gymnasts

    Hi, at the meet this weekend a question was asked and I didn't know the answer... Do judges get to "know" certain gymnasts and score the "better" gymnasts more leniently? I might not be clear but that was the question... Any ideas?

    Level 5 judging... what are they looking for?

    Hello, Just a quick question... we are new to usag and are a little confused as to what judges are looking for especially in level 5. It is obvious that form, presentation and body position are huge but our girls look just as good if not better than some gymnasts who are outscoring them. If...

    Question about judging

    Well, I'm not sure that I gave this the correct title...but I wonder if, while judging is technically objective, any of you (judges in particular) find that it can be subjective when it comes to girls from gyms that are fast track/elite gyms in comparison to excellent gyms but ones that don't...

    Feedback from judges?

    This is purely a curiosity question....but, do judges give feedback on their scores or do they simply give a score? For instance, do the coaches get anything afterward that says "why" a judge scored a certain way or that might say "need work on leaps" or "great leaps", etc? DD's first L4 meet...

    My dd did her robhs at the last meet and in her rebound she bounced up really high, brought one knee up, came down one foot at a time, and took 2 small steps backwards. Could someone please tell me what the deductions the judges might have taken for this would be. Thanks:)

    Some interest in Judging

    I've had some interest lately in getting into judging. Obviously, I know I would have a LOT to learn, but where would I go to find out more info on it or do you have to have a history of coaching to do it? If not, how do you get started?
