All-Star My Issue With Comparative Scoring

[Momager]

Funny thing is, NCA used to score out of 10. Plus I am shocked to hear that some gymnasts (and their coaches) are will to sacrifice some of their technique for difficulty. I have always seen gymnastics as being a culture of technical perfection.

And that culture is where the best of them come from but there's a few in every sport...

As long as it doesn't turn into a grid of sorts that designates that element X is worth Y points etc... I've seen that in Europe and it's a mess.

For example, the grid would say (using level 6 as an example), a hitch/lunch pyramid is worth 7 points, but a Swedish falls is worth 8...but then a 211 is worth 9-10points.

That resulted in every single team having a 211 to some degree, regardless of execution (there were A LOT, and I mean A LOT, of teams building it to get the 9-10points that really shouldn't have been). But because of the grid system, they got the points even if it went crashing in on itself like a house of cards.

Creativity was basically completely taken out of the equation, because everyone had the exact same routine, just different uniform and music amd maybe a little different order, but all the same skills were shown.

I am still for difficulty being judged by video after the performance and everything else live.

Remember how Champions League was jugded? All teams performed twice, the judges used the first performance to score routine difficulty, and the second performance to score execution. I think it's brilliant.
