scoring

So probably a dumb question. I searched and can't seem to find the answer. If Levels 4-7 all compete the same FHS vault, is there a difference in how it is scored? (for example, a cast is required in each level, but the way it is "scored" changes through the levels.) If a L4 gymmie received...

I did try to search this forum enough to find the answer, but I'm still uncertain. Prior to us relocating, DD was old L4. She is currently competing Xcel Silver (she never competed and we moved to our new gym in July of last year - L4 competes in Aug). So there wasn't enough time for DD to...

Hello, I'm hoping to gain some insight on a confusing situation that happened to my dd this past weekend. She was competing in a large meet in PA this past weekend. She is a L8. Her scores were very good on all other events except Vault. Oddly enough it was the first event that her team...

We recently moved my daughter to a new region. We absolutely LOVE 99.9 percent of it. However, we have noticed that this particular region doesn't seem to post meet scores very quickly. In our old region they had live scoring and always had the scores up by the following Monday or Tuesday. I am...

Well, kind of. Didn't really know what to call this one. So, D's front giants are kind of flighty. They like to show up one day, and then disappear for a few. He has a meet on Friday night. Is it better for him to just go for it and see what happens (always my first choice), or to leave...

Hi all, will post this in MAG too in case this isnt the right place but my son is competing a squat through shortly in a comp and I wondered what are the constituant parts to get a "perfect" score. I'm an assistant coach and would like to be able to spot him more effectively. he has an awesome...

Okay guys, I haven't been on for a while but I have a question for you! I have state in a week and am tossing up competing layout or full twist in floor routine. Up until yesterday I had only competed full twist but yesterday my fulls weren't going very well so I pulled back to a layout. I...

If you have a daughter competing the "new" Level 4, how has the scoring been where you live? My daughter had her first meet of the season today (she did "old" Level 4 last year with consistent AA's between 36-38+) and the judging was a complete shock to most of us parents. There were VERY few...

DD is currently competing in Xcel. Coach mentioned that we will not be competing Xcel next year but we will compete JO Level 3 in the Fall 2014. However, she also said that the girls already have most Level 4 skills as well and she anticipates that our gymnasts will "score out" of Level 3 and...

Hi guys - just wondering after reading some of the posts about gyms not moving children up unless they get 38+, how the scoring is carried out "over there". I know they are marked out of 10, but to only loose 0.5 per event seems epic. Especially on beam ! Are they drilled to the point of...

I'm looking for a user-friendly app for entering and tracking meet scores. Something that I don't have to relearn how to use every meet. 3rd world problems, right? I've tried Gym Pal and don't find it very intuitive to use. Nor am I crazy about the look. I just don't want get (another)...

So DD is finally coming along with her bars. Yay! She is now scoring mid to upper 8's (from the low 7's she was quoted at prior to competition season.) She told me after her meet this weekend that her coach said that for each element where her feet are not together it is a .2 deduction. So...

The other post about whether meet attendance was down had me wondering about this so I thought I'd start a separate thread. For those of you who have already been to meets this year, what are you seeing as far as scoring? One poster mentioned that scores are lower this year. I was wondering...

A few months ago my dd took part in a voluntary comp. She had a great comp went clean and did really well. She did not medal. After the comp she looked really disappointed, so I questioned her and the issue was that she knew and felt she did well and was disappointed not to have placed. We...

DS is in his third year, but DD is just beginning her first year. Though I've only seen one girl's meet, I could tell the scoring range is drastically different. Any explanation would be greatly appreciated!

So i have all of my xcel gold skills, but my coach said that I have to get a 31 or higher AA score at an xcel silver meet. The xcel silver vault is a handstand flat back on the table with a mat, and the xcel gold vault is a front handspring. On beam, my coach said that I might not be able to...

My daughter will be competing level 7 this year. She was pretty good at lower levels, but not dynamite. We have been told that the coaches believe she will shine at L7 because she won't be doing cookie cutter routines. She is good on bars, beam, and vault, but just ok on floor. She is a great...

For (new) L4 bars my DD cannot yet connect a kip and a horizontal cast. She can kip, pause, horizontal cast, OR kip, connected to very small cast. Which would score better? Is the deduction for a pause greater or less than the deduction for failing to reach horizontal? Hopefully it will come...

Can anyone explain the differences please between the USAG and FIG scoring. I've heard on here a few times it's different. And then I've seen videos etc where I can't work out the scoring. Eg things like beam - a fall is a 1pt deduction. So that with any other deductions means at least...

Seriously, why judge if you aren't going to take the deductions? It is mathematically impossible for a kid to score a 34.5 + on compulsory level 6 when they can't hit the split requirements, bent legs and arms on the back handspring step out, a hop after the punch front, a wild front tumble...
