I used to be one of those parents. But that was when we were at a gym that refused to even tell the kids where they were sitting after Day 1 ("if we tell them they're in first they won't work and if we tell them they're in 5th they'll be discouraged and not work."). That's pretty much the most negative way to look at kids I've ever seen.Some parents have their kids take their phones backstage and take pictures of the scores. LOL They post day 1 scores pretty fast back stage. The second day they wait because they want awards/results to be a surprise.

Of course coaches and gym owners would not want scores up for the world to see! That would be putting information in parents laps! <collective gasp> So much is hidden behind the "parents don't get it"... What we absolutely do get is the sketchiness of withholding information. I can promise you that the general public does not understand the ins, outs, and intricacies of gymnastics scoring but we sure know the difference between 7.3 out of 10 and a 9.8 out of 10.@yesucan The surveys I saw were sent from an EP to gym owners and/or coaches that compete with them. Although parents pay for everything in the end, those are the people that choose the EPs and who the EPs are most likely to listen to.
I think at least some of it is a function of the EP's confidence in their own judging/scoring system. The less confident they are in their process, the more likely they are to keep scoring hidden from the public.
Jody, I can't even explain how much respect I have for you for all what you've posted on the FB.Sometimes coaches are wrong.
Seriously, that would make judges training more efficient, increase transparency in scoring, and make it easier for coaches (imagine having to alter your choreography time and time again to win different comps).Universal scoresheet for the win!
I love @Andre more and more every day.This doesn't answer the question.
