Scoring on events

[momof5]

How can a parent find out about the code of points. Is there any thing on the internet that can provide information on what kind of points are taken off for specific errors in routines and what they judges are specifically looking to see in the routines. If there is nothing on the internet is there something I can buy that would help me figure out what they are looking for?

I am assuming you're referring to the WAG JO code of points...? If so, the link is below.

However, most judges seem to base their results not only on the code of points and the program text, but also by using their own preferences - something that just varies from coach to coach

Thanks Ingymom -

I have been wondering about that as well. I am not sure if I really want to know it all - right now I know basic things that are deducted for ( not necessarily the amount of the deduction) but I am a little afraid that if I know I will be calculating deductions and trying to figure out scores and not just enjoy the show.

I personally think it is a waste of $ to purchase these particular items unless you are a coach or judge... I pay the team fee so that my dd's coaches can, well COACH! LOL I leave it up to them to make corrections, I just want to sit back and say "wow, great job"! Besides you just never know what the judges that day are going to want to see...

I did buy the compulsory JO program book from USAG because I wanted the information on the skills and routines. (My DD looks at the pictures in the book and then tried to copy them to learn new skills.) There is deduction information in there but it's not very helpful as most of it says things like "up to .30". Obviously there is a lot of leeway for the judge's personal preferences and on a case-by-case basis.

In general, judges are taking .1 for a small execution error, .2 for a medium error, .3 for a large error, and .5 for a fall. Of course, there can be multiple problems with one particular skill, so a kid can be losing more than .3 on a skill even without falling. Leaving things out of the compulsory routines can be a real score killer because they're supposed to take 1 plus the value of the skill.

Oh! Now this is helpful! So if they take a tiny false step they'd lose a tenth, a step would cost they .20 and a big step would cost .30. Now I get it!

I would be happy to go over routines with you and tell you what deductions I would take...

[momof5]

Thanks for the links. I am going to look into it.

Mostly I am just curious exactly what they are looking for. I am the type of person who over researches things. I just really enjoy knowing about things.

To Katrinagymcoach the only specific question I have is that the side of my daughters foot always hits the bars as she does her shoot thru but it doesn't break the momentum of the skill. How much would you take off?
