Just a question. Do you think they have anything planned to do anything about scoring? It’s gotten way out of hand. Evan the announcers made a comment about it. It’s going to take a 198.5~7 to when the championship which is stupid.

All you can hope at nationals is routines get scored/ranked correctly and that the actual best team(s) come out on top regardless if every routine is under or over scored.


Now scoring for the sport as whole does need an overhaul in the worst way. I think they need to address the current code with start values, routine requirements etc and adjust some rules… but I also think judges across the board have to be addressed in general. The quality of judging has gotten worse and worse for years. I think they need to be trained a bit better and actually have judging held accountable in some way. That itself won’t happen until the offseason (or we hope it happens at least)
