Wasn't there a thread last week asking if we should consider firing the coach?

Great job by Tiger Gym.

Just FYI for those that don’t know. Gymnastics rankings don’t really have “polls.” Their rankings are based on average scores. That means that this 2nd place is earned and not based on what people think or feel.

The team is really pulling it together right now. Can always fix a few landings to have more sticks, but this is the best I've seen them perform consistently since our 2019 team.

To be fair this is the only team sport where you can actually do that...you can't rank Baseball based on Runs scored, or basketball or football based on points scored....

But aren't scores themselves based on what judges think or feel? At least to some degree. I know I've seen people complain about being robbed in the scores quite often.

BS, there are judges evaluating and scoring the performers. A top athlete gets the benefit over a lesser talent. Very subjective

very little.. Each routine starts with a possible point value, or start value... based on required skills, bonus skills, difficulty, etc. There are deductions for things like not pointing toes, over or under rotating, and of course not sticking the landing. 6 People from each team compete. The low score is dropped. There are a possible 50 points per event. so a 198 means ... 198 of a possible 200.

If you have never been to a meet, they are fun. My wife and daughter go to every home meet. I tag a long a lot of the time. It is family friendly, affordable, etc. It moves fast, and there is always something going on. Very Competitive. 2 hours in and out.

Got a tough match at # 6 Florida this Friday. I'm pretty sure it's on ESPN 2.

So what's the deal with Dunne? Is she just not good enough to get into the rotation? I know she comes in from time to time in spot situations.

She is not an all around (Competing in all 4 events) She specializes in Bars and Floor. And yes our team is so deep that she struggles to get in the starting 6.
