Ok you bring up a perfect point.... why coed stunt??? At worlds you get a 5 point bonus for doing a toss to the top multiple body positions and a level 5 exit.... so this year had 1 boy coed stunt... did a elite entry in my opinion, then poped off.... but now looks look closely... only 1 boy did it, it bobbled, and he poped down..... so as a judge he might have gotten 1 out of the 5 points possible because only one boy did it... so it wasnt majority but he bobbled so the team lost MANY more points in execution..... so.... who in the top 5 right now can put up at least 3 toss to the top... at least 2 body positions and at least a full down.... that seems like the only way to get 4 out of the 5 points????
This comes back to a pervious post I made about scoring. Scoring is subjective with objective guidelines. A judge decides, usually based on what they perceive to be difficult, the point value of skills. It is not written down anywhere what a Quad toe back will get you on a scoresheet, but it seems like everyone is now doing them. Why?
If that one boy stunting is the best in the division than the subjective expertise of the judge will probably reward them more than 1 point. And next year... that wont be good enough to get the same score (just as we have seen that multiple stunt sequences have almost become required to earn a higher score).
