Say if one judge gives you a 9.5 SV, and another judge gives you a 10.0 SV, would you SV become a 9.75 SV, or would the judges have to come to an agreement?
 
Seconding JBS’s response: We can have a split start value. We both calculate our scores independently and, assuming the scores are within an acceptable range, simply average as usual.
 
Oh wow, that is interesting to know. I had a 10 and a 9.5 SV at a recent meet for Xcel and my coach said they would use the lower SV.
That's what I thought they would too. They first flashed up both SVs, and then the final one they set up was the 9.5, but when I got my scorecard back, both SVs were written down.
