I was watching the American Cup where Tim Dagget mentioned scoring is getting harder and no one will get scores as high as they were at the Olympics. Dagget said the scores will generally be a full point lower than the scores at the Olympics. What were these changes made that is making the...
So much new stuff this year. I was following the scores of a JD competition, as we know a few of the competitors. My kid is not JD. I thought I understood the scoring but then some scores were higher than I thought possible. Can someone explain scoring for JD?
Also are the deductions for form...
My DD just competed the bronze level this past weekend and I was confused on how they do scoring because of the flexibility of skills allowed. For example my DD does a backhandspring in her floor routine but received a lower score than another child that did not do one. I'm not complaining or...
I've heard that attempting a bonus and flubbing it can result in a lower score than if you hadn't tried the bonus at all. Can anyone give me an example of this? I'd like to better understand it?
My son had his mock meet this past weekend and I was surprised at the scores. I found out that in level 7 the same vault he did last year used to have max value of 13+ (that's the bonus vault) and this year it has a max value of 10...The non bonus vault starts at a 9.5. Also all of the events...
Hello!
Dd works out with her L3 team 20 hours a week and this is her first competition season with them. She's placed in the lower half of her first 2 competitions and scored almost last in her most recent (the 3rd) competition, and I just wondered is this normal and/or ok for a first-season...
I feel as though the area I live in is super tough for scoring in compulsories. And I've heard this is the case -but of course I don't have any evidence. Does anyone know what some of the toughest areas are for compulsories?
I have two girls who I am bringing into optionals this year. They competed Xcel Gold last season and did well, one being state champion. I am teaching them the Level 4 and 5 routines so I can take them to a meet and score them out. I am having them compete Level 6 this season.
Something I'm...
DD (8) will be repeating level 3 and has her first meet in a few weeks. From the score ranges given at her in-house meet it looks like she might not score well at all this year -despite the fact that she's repeating. The ranges given to her were 7.5-8 for 2 events and 8-8.5 for 2 events...
Anyone have a website that posts the men's scores live? Watching on NBC livestream but the scores only flash for a second and it's hard to keep up. Wanting something where they post scores of all countries too, not just USA.
Someone correct me if I am reading this wrong..
I just looked more closely at the scoring table for Compulsory routines, and noticed that the base score is now 9.5 instead of 10.0, and virtuosity bonus is only up to .3 (vs up to .5 previous quad). So, with all bonuses, max scores are now .7...
DD had a bit of a rough meet this weekend. I was wondering if anyone with L4 judging experience could help me with figuring out a big deduction she got. I can send a video.
I thought the new vaulting rule in L8/9/10 is that the second vault score is used, regardless if the score is better or not, making it a strategic decision whether a gymnast should even compete a second vault. My dd argues this is just for L8, and that L9/10 still takes the better of two. Is she...
Is it possible--meaning have you actually seen--a L7 score well without giants on bars.
what about without a BHS on beam-- a dive cartwheel?
I know folks will say she shouldn't compete L7, but these are not long term solutions-- post-injury, coaches want her to do meets just to get back out...
Pardon me if I am asking this incorrectly but I'm still new at this. As far as scoring goes....my daughter was recently at a meet where the awards were broken into two groups. One group was 6-7 year olds and the other group was 8-9 year olds. All of the age groups had their meet at the same...
I keep reading things about some regions are scored harder than others but I still haven't seen a breakdown of which ones and why. Could someone explain this to me?
A jump off of a thread in the parent forum. Obviously some meets are notoriously high scoring and others are notoriously lower scoring. I live in a state where are scores, overall, tend to be extremely high (L3 state had 18 38s so several of those kids didn't even take first AA!!! 91 kids...
