Just started watching gym this year...does the home team always have advantages when it comes to judging scores? Like 198.325 seems like a crazy score to lose with

Most of the time, yes, because the crowd has a tendency to influence higher scores, even though the judges do have a code of points they are “SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW” when it comes to scoring routines

Exactly what does our NQS do for us? We already host a regional, correct? Does the NQS just matter for national ranking? What determines our draw for nationals?


Regional sites are predetermined years in advance so most years, NQS tells us where we’re traveling to and who we will face at regionals. This year, because we are hosting, no matter where we end up in the top 16, we will be in BR for regionals. SEC championships scores count towards our NQS ranking however we still will more than likely be a number one seed within our regional so it will just be a matter of which other teams we will face at regionals in the bracket in the PMAC. It does generally speaking, but it doesn’t matter as much this year, except at nationals where the number one overall seeded team usually has the harder path to the finals (though now there is so much parity in NCAA Gymnastics that anyone could be eliminated at any point between the first round of regionals and national finals so there really is no easy path to the finals anymore)

Yes only if the 9.3 was a 9.9. Then that adds 0.2 to our score and we lost by .125. We would have won by .075. So we needed that 9.3 to be a 9.85 to win outright.


They just needed one of the two to be a 9.85 to win. It doesn’t matter which. Either way, one of the two scores gets dropped and the 9.85 would have counted instead of the 9.7 they had to count the way it actually played out.
