scoring

How is the level 5 vault scored? I have been told that they take the average of the 2 vaults but I have also been told that they only use the best of the 2. We are in Missouri so I am not sure if this varies depending on where you live.

Hi! I have watched a lot of USAG compulsory level routines from youtube. It's fun to see other systems and compare them to our Finnish system :) One thing that I have noticed is that in US almost every gymnast got 9s and their all-arounds are 34.00 or more. Here in Finland there is just a few...

In the required connection of a dance element with a leap to a 180-degree split plus a second (dance or acro) element, if the second element is not done in proper form, does the athlete lose not only the possible connection bonus but also the half point for the Special Requirement? (The specific...

I always read everyone's meet reports and they are my favorite part of CB. I had a question though regarding scoring. I will often see someone post about their DD's state meet and the scores seem so low. In our state sometimes a 36.00 won't even qualify you to state from south/north state...

DD will start competing next weekend and she and I don't fully understand the bars scoring. She is competing clear hip on the low bar and giant on the high bar. Her coach was trying to explain different bar routines and start values but it went right over my head! If DD does clear hip below...

Coach scored me on beam and bars today Beam: 13.1 (.1 difference since last scoring) bars: 13.9 ( 1 point difference from last scoring) bars was a huge improvement considering i will always get .3-.5 off for having to bouce my legs on my dismount my coach was in awe haha without the bounce thats...

Does anyone have an example of what to put on a practice meet score sheet, to be given out to gymnasts/parents at end of meet? For our practice meet this year (new L3s and 4s only), we want to try something different by having the other coaches give out a ballpark range for score, as well as...

Hi everyone! I'm the daddy that my team's moms have turned to for scoring questions. I know it's only level 4 but the moms are a little frustrated that we seem to have no idea how scoring is done (and I am too). I have this scoring book and I thought I had made some progress in figuring it...

I noticed when watching the Commonwealth Games this week that the scoring for artistic gymnastics has changed. I know it's been different for a while, but I just don't understand it. Could someone explain to me how the new point system works compared to the 10.0 scoring system? If I understand...

okay, i feel really dumb, but i have never asked anyone how the "new" scoring system works. it isnt out of ten anymore. if you know any of these answers, that would help. when exactly did the new scoring system start? is it used in only high levels, or do lower levels use this system as...

I thought I knew how this worked but now I'm not sure. My DD, 12 year old level 8, is telling me they average the 2 vault scores. I always thought they took the better of the 2. Does that change at L8 and higher? What if she has a vault that doesn't count?

I think the best score that I have gotten at a meet was 8.35 and that was on vault. I have NEVER gotten a place in a meet. I get told that I did good but I know that I didn't. Here is a video of me: YouTube - Ellen's Level 4 Floor at Judges Invitational 2009 that is from a meet that I had...

My daughter's team has a local, non-sanctioned meet this weekend and I have a quick question regarding the Level 3 floor routine. (I'd ask our coach, but she's been away a few weeks for a variety of reasons). At our last meet, I have seen a skill done one of three different ways: 1. lay on...

Hello Everyone - Being new to the optional world (dd is a new L7), I have come to realize that the scoring process is befuddling. I pretty much have the deduction thing down from our time in compulsories, but this start value is making my head hurt. I understand that they have specific...

I'm wondering. How do they score optional routines at the us challenge and other big events like that. I know they are scored out of 16. 6 of the points are for the difficulty of the routine, and the other 10 points are for how well they perform the routine, like in regular competitions. I know...

Hi, I was just wondering what the new scoring system is. Like what is a 14.5? I mean is it good is it like a 9.5?? How do they get the scores like divide by this number and this deduction or something? This question has been bugging me forever!!

OK whats with the new scoring system. I just dont understand it. I dont know whats a good score and whats a bad one. And its soo sad that theres no such thing as a perfect 10 anymore :( :( Why did they have to go and switch it up it was fine the wasy it was. :(

Ok DD is now at L7. She is getting her floor routine choreographed Wed night. She will be the 3rd out of 10 girls to be done. This has brought up some chatter and questions in the peanut gallery of parents of the L7 girls. (we only have on L8 girl and the L9 and L10 girls went on to the High...

I dont get how the judges score. You flip over the vault. What is there to really score? Is a 8.7 BAD? :vault:

Okaaay , it may just be in BC but I dont know hence why I am asking. In BC our scores are out of 13.6 not 10 so a usual score in BC is like.. 50 or.. 52 any where around there. So I am just taking a wild guess here and asking if all the USA scores are out of 10 an than AA is out of 40 ? Because...
