judging is kind of fun, kind of boring!! it depends!! by the end of a competition when you have watched the same routine about 60 times it is definitely boring!! :P
I think it helps with coaching though, because you know what to look for and the specifics of what judges will take marks off on.
I don't really judge that much, usually just a few competitions a year so I always forget what I am doing! lol.... I need more practice!
overall I think it's good! just adds another dimension to gym!

that sucks about your knee It would be pretty hard to watch all your friends training.... I know it would drive me crazy!!
I am state level 10 and I'm at Bentleigh McKinnon. I coach there as well as at Brighton Rec.
I might see you at competitions this year.... I have level 3's but I sometimes take kids for other coaches and I also judge!

no problems
Its changed quite a bit!!

If you don't mind me asking, what level were you and what club are you at?? lol, it's nice to see someone else from melbourne!
