Women TOPs/HOPES parents

[GymLife]

When your kid tests for TOPs/HOPES are they judged/scored by their coaches?

Our gym recently did testing and our coaches scored the girls. There were maybe 5 other girls testing that were not from the gym. Is that not a conflict of interest?

When DD tested at her previous gym 3 seasons ago, they had judges come in.

Our tops girls are tested by the tops state manager who also happens to be their coach. She tests all the kids who test in our state. I actually think she may be tougher on her kids.

HOPES girls dont test, they compete at qualifier meets
