Women difference in scoring b/t NCAA and JO?

[gymgal]

watching the NCAA Championship online. Having seen many college meets, I know there a difference in deductions given in NCAA vs level 10. In general, what are they?

Also wondering if there is a general guideline. Can an incoming college gymnast expect to increase her L10 score by a certain number of tenths (b/c of the difference in NCAA, not just improvement in her skills)? Does this happen on all events? And does this happen across all gymnasts? Looking at the regional scores for L10, there are obviously scores already approaching a 10 so do the difference in deductions affect them less?

Good question - I just opened your query, but do not have time at the moment to RSVP. I will circle back later when I have some time. Perhaps others with sage wisdom will chime in......more later.

These guides help though they compare it to FIG:

One more difference is that missed special requirements are 0.5 in JO but only 0.2 in NCAA.

It's way higher in NCAA....such that a 9.7 is considered a score for a "rough" routine

The joke among judges is you take half the deduction in NCAA that you would take in JO. Step on the landing, 0.1 in JO. Let's call this a "small adjustment" and take 0.05 in NCAA. Major body shape error, 0.20 in JO, 0.05 or 0.10 in NCAA.
