Question about TOPS scores

[Muddlethru]

I think dropping the 11 year olds is what made the numbers go down. After everything is put in the computer w the formulas etc...they look for the place where there is a gap in the scores and thats where they draw the line. For example, if there are 100 kids that are in the 75-90 range, then the next group is at 72, they would draw the line at the 75 and thats where the cut off score is. Does that make sense?

That is what our coaches told us as well. Do you think they need to have a certain number of spots to fill to make the "national testing viable" as gymnut has indicated? Also fromwhat you've seen, are the scores this year, higher, lower or pretty much the same. Gymcritter, the scores for rope, sprint, jump, etc. Are scored on a curve. So, until all the results are in, it is hard to be completely accurate on guesstimating those scores. But I think you can guess your DD's scores vy last year's averages and come between 1 or 2 point of her actual score. You shouldn't be too concerned thoug, you DD did very well.

Thanks so much, we're so anxious to find out!

Here are my guesses:

Splits 14.5
Shoulders 5
Leg lifts 5 (or 6 -- I would have guessed 6 but last year's average was over 13)
Casts 9
Vertical jump 7
Presses 10 (I am not sure if your DD got 5 presses or if 5 is her score-meaning she did 2 1/2 presses. If it is the latter, then I would deduct 5 points from the total score)
Handstand 8 (or 9)
Sprint 9
Rope 6

Total - 73.5 to 76

Cut-off last year for 8 year olds was 75. Depending on the pool of 8 year olds testing, she may have a shot. Your DD did real well. Those are very good scores. In addition, my guesstimates could be easily off by 5 points and I might have erred on the side of caution. If I had to guess, I think she would make it this year. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

The owners of our gym are at the Visa Championships so we may not find out whether she qualified until next week- PLEASE HELP!!! The suspense is killing me so if anyone has a rough idea of how she did. please let me know. She is testing as a 9yr old, and she qualified last year. Her scores are as follows:

Splits 12/14
Bridge 5
Casts 7
leg lifts 20
presses 10
handstand hold 60
sprint 3.23
v jump 16 1/2
rope climb 10.0

Thanx!
