A couple of spirited and fun FX routines, and a spectacular warmup and a 10.0 routine on the Beam by Jade Carey. Only one routine that didn't hit. So a pretty good performance and worth the hour drive down to Corvallis. |

I wish I could have been there but we spent 13 hours at the kids’ basketball tournament instead |

I have watched a lot of OSU Gymnastics over the years (my wife is a fan), but I still don’t know enough about the scoring subtleties tell a good from a very good performance. The bad and excellent ones are easy enough to see, but they are usually the outliers. So I don’t have any basis to judge the performance levels beyond my brief comments.
I am sure they will be very competitive, though.
Go Beavs!

I am sure they will be very competitive, though. Go Beavs! A good basic rule of thumb is to watch for wobbles on the beam, stepping out or taking an extra step on floor, inability keep the body straight or vertical on bars and "sticking" landings. Each gymnast has a "starting value" based on the skills in their routine. Most are 10 but some are less. A starting value of 9.90 means that's the highest the gymnast can score on that event. That's usually why you see some lower scores when there wasn't a fall. |

That's usually why you see some lower scores when there wasn't a fall. Bars and vault are pretty rational. You have your elements with their difficulty values which make up the maximum score value and against that, deductions for specific technical imperfections or outright failures (falls, incomplete routines). Beam and Floor add in the element of dance/artistic impression with its own maximum value and specific deductions. And even as much as the rulebook (FIG Code of Points) attempts to rationalize the judging of those elements, its nearly impossible to remove subjectivity from that process. It’s called Artistic Gymnastics for a reason. And its simultaneously the most compelling part of the sport and the most vexing & frustrating. |
