WAG Anyone ever seen a 10.0?

In those states with inflated scoring, would you say the inflation tends to be uniform overall, so that the distribution of scores is about as wide as in a lower-scoring state but is just moved to the right (so each kid is getting about the same bump), or is the distribution a different shape in the states with score inflation (either wider, so the low-scoring kids are getting less inflation than the high scorers, or narrower, so the lower-scoring kids are getting a bigger boost and the difference between last place and first is smaller)?

It makes sense to score the younger ones high in the first place/ keeps them motivated to stay in the game longer

Young, old, they get judged the same. There are no cute points. You don't get high scores just to keep you in the sport longer, you get them by earning them.

I'd score it at 9.20 or 9.25. (region 1)

I also had it at 9.25. Good routine, but not a 10.0 for sure.

I didn't see it live, but here is a perfect 10 from region 5 regionals (level 7) over the weekend. Well deserved in my opinion.

She's a friend of ours. Very sweet and smart girl too!

Seeker, her routine is so innovative. I can definitely see her coach's Soviet influence. I would have loved to see her floor routine too. Does the gymnast have a rhythmic gymnastics background?

No, she doesn't....she's just very very flexible! And yes...her coach is a very innovative choreographer.

not sure why I didn't see this earlier. That was an incredible routine! Is her floor routine just as graceful? Looks like a dancer with long lines and flexibility.

I think of routines like this when I think of Colorado's scoring

I remember this one as well. DD had wanted to watch some "10.0" routines on Youtube and we came across this. I would call the wobble after the handstand more than a teensy balance check. And her ears weren't covered when she came up from the handstand nor when she came up from the cartwheel. I'd also say the turn looked a little incomplete as I'm pretty sure the leg needs to be held toe to knee for the entire turn. DD actually looked at me incredulously and said that is not a 10.0 routine? I think her routine is very nice and definitely worth a high score, but the 10.0 is questionable.

Agreed! My daughter got a 9.875 for the same routine at State in SoCal, and it looked quite different.

I'm moving to Colorado....

Daughters old teammate got 10.0 on vault this past season as a L7

Maybe the Colorado 10.0 was an AAU meet, not USAG... Do they do AAU in Colorado? No way that got a 10.0 in USAG JO, in any state...
