DD had a bit of a rough meet this weekend. I was wondering if anyone with L4 judging experience could help me with figuring out a big deduction she got. I can send a video.

don't waste your energy. there are going to be many more big deductions as she progresses.
What Dunno said, the point is... It's irrelevant. Eliminate all deductions is the only goal, not trying to figure out how much each is. Hope that makes sense. So as a parent,, don't get caught up in any of it or you will go insane.She fell out of her high bar kip and she was curious what she lost because of it. It isn't a big deal, but she was surprised with where her score ended up, given that she missed a skill and? had a fall.
Anyway, she was surprisingly unphased by the whole thing. She planned to ask her coach, but has been sick since the meet, so I thought I would see if I could give her an estimate and then she can fully move on.
I totally understand why you were asking. This is a gymnastics forum...for gymnastics questions....if you can't ask here, then where? If the point made above is that you don't need to worry about the details, then there are plenty of other topics on here that would fall under that category as well. But we should be able to speak freely on here.
And THAT is a much more acceptable response and shows thought behind it. Just saying "don't waste your energy" doesn't give any reasoning behind it.I think the problem is when the parent asks for the purpose of sharing the information with their gymnast, which may cause them to inadvertently undermine the coach or even relay information incorrectly to their child. I am not saying they wouldn't mean well or respect the coach even while doing this, but it's very likely. Because each child progresses at their own pace and has certain idiosyncrasies to their gymnastics, the coach might be focusing on eliminating certain deductions before others, for instance. Most deductions come from incorrect technique and body alignment which I think would is very difficult for someone who doesn't know a lot about gymnastics to convey in a helpful way. So they might end up confusing the child or telling them something contrary to what their coach is instructing them on, which could affect your child's trust in the coach.
If the parent is asking because they're curious and don't plan to share, then it doesn't bother me.
Well,,,, it is a waste of energy. You can sit around all day Sunday and try and calculate who could of won the football game had this turnover or that turnover not happened,,,,,, or you can just try and play better next time and not turn the ball over.... Not to mention the parent will drive them selves crazy trying to figure it out and then eventually go online to seek guidance from complete strangers.... Oh wait... Just saying.... We really are here to help.And THAT is a much more acceptable response and shows thought behind it. Just saying "don't waste your energy" doesn't give any reasoning behind it.
So from then on, we've joked that it's a .5 bonus to STAY on the beam.
Love love love this!!
I have always been somewhat confounded by why these kind of questions are often so quickly dismissed. I love to learn about almost everything, so I think for me it has been more of a quest for knowledge than seeking to be a candidate for at-home coach or CGM. Of course, the basic points around scoring were more easily understood at the compulsory level. At L9 I have pretty much given up on understanding the scoring nuances, but at least I feel knowledgeable enough to know how much I don't really know.Okay. I am not going crazy trying to figure out deductions. I do find it odd that curiosity is so frowned upon in this sport.
