The good thing I can really see with the results since everyone is “hitting” their routines. No one can say afterwards that “if this team had hit they would have won.”

Not every team is sending in perfect routines. We don't get to do routine an unlimited amount of times for athlete safety and logistical reasons. We injuries, ice storms, etc. that limited things also. I am sure other gyms had similar. Also, if you know you have multiple tries, you are slightly less likely to water down - at least initially. The risk/reward curve moves around a bit.
I would imagine there are fewer mistakes than if the event had been live, but it won't be 100% zeros.
It appears that teams/coaches will get scores now but no awards til the event.
I saw that programs are also asking kids not to share them though so the awards are still a surprise.
Asking kids not to share or leak this and keep it private for like a week is like that toddler experiment where you leave the candy on the table and tell them not to eat it til you return.
I am sure this is going to go well.
Especially when you are a competitive person.
Shoot, if you had told me to wait and not share or seek scores from other school coaches, I couldn't have kept from doing it as an adult.
We would literally all end up playing score Guess Who.
"Hey CHS does your score have a 9 in the tens place?"
There is talk of "releasing" intentionally incorrect scores (resulting in different rankings) to the anon accounts to mess them up.
I believe they said you get medals this year for 2nd & 3rd? There are trophies for finalists and/or top ten I think.Dumb questions... do you get anything for second or third place? Or is it really just about winning? Like is there a banner or anything?

Whether it is "just about winning" seems like the wrong way to phrase the question. I hope it is more than "just about winning", but the initial emotion when you find out your placement depends largely on your expectations, history, etc.
There’s another one day competition tomorrow too. Indy convention center is pretty big though and seemed pretty empty when I was there this morning. They’re being very strict about moving at the right times and not letting people in early/ stick around after.COA Midwest Nationals is taking place this weekend at the SAME venue as the Winter Cup/Nastia Liukin Cup Artistic Gymnastics Championships.
That’s a lot of people, yikes.
