scoring

So I was looking at the results for the US Elite Challenge held earlier in May and I was wondering about the disparity in the scores. The winner of the Senior women's was 124 something while the next highest score was 97 something and for the juniors it was only in the 60s. Did they do totally...

So out of 362 AA competitors at Level 9 region 8 championships, 90 of the girls competing AA did not score the 34 (which was required at state to compete at Regionals.) This is 25% of the girls which seems really high. So, do you think the regional scoring was really tough, the state scoring...

Does anyone know where to find the live scoring for Region 8? We have a friend competing this morning and the website says they will have live scoring but I can't find a link or anything. Thanks!

My daughter is competing for the first time this year as a level4. Her routines and scoring have been quite consistent that last few meets and I wondered if there is ever a plateau. We did a private lesson on hopes in would give her a little boost but same scores at Saturdays meet, any...

I've not shared a brag on here before, but wanted to share this exciting news about my Little Miss. She's a 7 year old level 5 (USAG), competed level 4 last year's season. She's been coming along well this year in L5 and at her meet last weekend received a 9.9 on floor! It was really fun to see...

yesterday we had a meet and our boys had fun and did well. However the judging seemed off especially on floor exercise.Floor is my sons best event and he had a great routine, he does all the bonus skills and his routine was very clean. He received a 9.5 or a yellow. This was fine with me, the...

My daughter completed level 4 for the 1st time last fall and is currently training for level 5 (the new 4). I had a question on the order in which the girls complete on each event. At the beginning of the season, the coach would have her start first on each event except for vault and then with...

Is there a deduction for not hitting handstand on both the free hip and the giant? My dd hit her handstand on her low bar kip cast handstand into a free hip but just missed the handstand position on her high bar kip cast handstand into the giant. I thought they only had to hit handstand on one...

I never paid much attention to scores last year. This year I know the scoring has changed and I think for the most part I understand, you are rewarded for bonuses but its a risk reward thing. For example, I saw some beautiful high bar routines but a few fell on the flyaway (level 5 bonus) so...

I know there's a .5 deduction on a fall, but I'm wondering if the judges also deduct for errors on the skill before the fall or how deductions work when the gymnast does the skill again. For example, if a gymnast falls doing a backwalkover on beam and their legs are bent, can there also be a...

My lvl 4 went to a competition this last weekend and he did great. He did his floor routine and I noticed he was hesitant for various reason. He still made all of his skills AND all bonuses. When he finished, I was satisfied we'd be pleased with his score and I thought he nailed it. I didn't...

Is it working for anybody? Because it isn't for me? http://www.uicflames.com/livestats/m-gym/20130119.htm#Minnesota

DD10 first meet is in a week. To help prepare for it our gym held an exhibition to show off the routines in front of people. They weren't scored this year and I was just curious as to what everyone's thoughts of scoring these routines would be. I realize that it is hard from a video and I have...

Did the scoring change for this season? My son is a level 7 and he keeps telling me his score is not out of 16 anymore. Does he mean the start value? I'm confused. :confused:

In the two years, L4 and L5, I have noticed that the scoring for similar routines is very different depending on the state we are competing in. Our coaches have noticed this as well and it drives then crazy :) In my home state scoring seems to be on the low side across the board at every meet...

I'm posting this question for DD. She's been working on keeps her arms straight on her giants. She says when she keeps her arms straight that they are "slow" and is wondering if there's a deduction. I have no context of how slow, but I have seen her fly around the bars. I'm pretty sure it's...

In my effort to learn this new L7 world, I am curious about a couple items that impact scoring. On floor - if you land a tumbling pass and then immediately go to a lunge position, is that considered a step? DD says it's not, and it may just be something for optionals. Second, one of the other...

What are the scoring requirements for being a L9 event specialist for state, regional and nationals? I found on one site it is 9.5 for regionals in Region 8 but on another site for Region 4 it is a 9.0. I would think all regions would be the same.

My daughter is a 1st year level 5 & I was wondering if it was better for her to connect everything on bars or pause to get a hihger cast and more momentum, specifically after her kip to the high bar. She can't seem to do both yet.

I don't understand how scoring works, and my boys keep asking me. We're all new to this. The coach talks about 3/8ths points deduction for this and that, but I'm not sure how to translate that for my boys. My older one gets it a bit, but my younger one, the more competitive one, is too young yet...
