The judges know the rule and awarded the bonus.

Well she could technically receive more than 1.1 when you factor in her execution deductions, if any.

In optionals she will only need to get one foot on for the skill to count and then it is a .5 deduction for the fall. In level 5 if she fell without getting a foot on I would take up to the value of the element for an incomplete element depending on what she did before she fell...in this case...

Depending on the score the judges must be within a certain range of each other. For average scores 9.5 and higher the judges have to be within .2 of each other. For scores 9.0-9.475 the judges must be within .5. For scores 8-8.975 the judges must be within .7. For scores 7.975 and below the...

This is an A in artistic.

I can help.

The bent elbows in your examples may largely be cured by more power and momentum. My DD has nice straight arms on her kip, fhs vault and bhs when she's able to generate a lot of momentum, however the elbows are a hot mess on all 3 if she doesn't get a nice big glide swing on her kip or a great...

I'm at a 9.65. Her presentation is beautiful. I took .05 on her turn for being overturned, .1 on her first pass and .2 on her second for a little bent knees and the landing.

You can pm me.

I didn't think her angle of repulsion was bad. Yes it's past vertical but not terribly so. My biggest deduction was on her height and the landing. Some body position and dynamics. I'm at a 9.3.

It has to hit vertical in Level 3, no hold required. It's up to .3 for not hitting vertical, depending how far she was, and another tenth for not closing her feet together. Up to .1 each for not kicking to horizontal.

Yikes I hope that mom misunderstood! After level 3 the run is not technically judged but judges definitely observe the run and if it's not fast and accelerating the gymnast will incur a dynamics deduction. Also, the first flight (from board contact to table contact) IS judged so I couldn't...

I felt like her leap was close to 180 but she doesn't point her back toe which makes it look significantly lower in real time. Pointing that toe will definitely up her score. I thought she could work on toe more throughout and clean up the dance on the floor before her robhsbt...some bent legs...

Connect the kip to the cast even if it's not horizontal. Not connecting is a flat .3 plus you still have to add in whatever cast deductions she may get for amplitude, body position, arms and legs. And then there will definitely be a rhythm deduction.

Yes it's the same in level 4. It's much better to do a wimpy cast immediately connected to her kip than to stop and then cast. It's a mandatory .3 each time she stops after her kip. It's only up to .3 for not reaching horizontal on the cast. (Above horizontal in level 5)
