I was looking at the scores from this meet, and saw that Two level 6 gymnasts from WOGA had each scored a 10.00 plus a handful of 9.900s. Without taking away from these girls' talent, I can't help but be a little skepticsl. The one girl almost scored a perfect 40.00.
My question is, is the scoring easier in Texas allowing these extremely high scores? Any gymnasts here competed in Texas but you're from a different region that can give your opinion? I've been watching my daughter compete for 7 years and gave never seen a 10.00 at any level, and only 2 9.9's. I have seen flawless routines score 9.55, 9.6. We are in Region 8, which seems to have much tougher scoring than other places. When we go out of the region, my dd's scores tend to be slightly higher. An amazing gymnast in Region 8 will score 37's and sometimes 38's.
I've watched YouTube videos of routines from TX, and I often think the scores are a lot higher than they should have been. I also noticed at this meet thus year, that there wasn't a big diversity if teams. Is that because WOGA and Texas Dreams dominate, so not many teams bother to go? I would like any "been there, done that" opinions, or a gymnast that competed at that meet to offer their thoughts.
Also, I mean no disrespect to the girls that got those scores. It's just hard to believe 2 10's in one meet, and two near 40.00 scores.
