Beam score

[gymnastjess]

Hi,
I had gym today and did my beam routine my coach was scoring us and said i would have gotten a 13!!! I start at 15 could an aussie coach tell me if this is good?

I'm not a coach or a judge, but from the few meets I've been to in Oz, a 13 would be a very good score!!

Ok, thankyou

13 is pretty good.

The routines are out of 15.0 if there are no bonus skills. If there are bonus skills they are worth 0.2 so lets say you had 2 bonus's then your routine would be out of 15.4.

A winning score is usually about a 14.0, a 13 is a good score but not usually a placing score. Similar to getting about a 8.8-9 in the old system.

ok thankyou the routine that my coach scored me on was one of the worsts i have done actually haha i had a few wobbles and took a step on my dismount which i never normally do so hopefully i do pretty good i have a comp in 2 weeks and have only learnt my routines TODAY so.... i think im doin pretty good haha

Oh im level 2 by the way and i don't think level 2 has any bonus' does it? well i don't think i do anyway!! My friend had a handstand about tripple the size of mine and everything else was relatively the same as mine but she got a 12.8???

No Level 2 does not have bonus you are correct. So the routine would be out of 15.0 for all gymnasts competing.

The small deductions do add up, your friend may have had a few extra wobbles which cost her the extra 0.2. To get a 0.1 deduction doesn't take much just a small wobble or an unpointed toe will do it.
