making sense of NCAA scores

I learned a long, long time ago how to keep track of the insanely high scores.

Simply drop the 9:

9.75 = 7.5
9.825 = 8.25
9.95 = 9.5

Easier to keep straight?

NCAA meets are more about the show than accurate ranking of the athletes. More a performance than a competition.

Thankfully the judges have given very few impossible 10s over the past 2 years.
