how to be an FIG judge

It’s Easy to be an Execution judge:

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

“Name” gymnast perfect routine = 9.1 maximum
… miss 2 handstands, deduct 0.2
… miss landing, deduct 0.1
… Final E score = 8.80

See the actual score. (PDF)

There’s no need for the Execution judge to actually read the Code of Points. 🙂

The Execution scores are “boxed” so closely together, it’s easy to predict the E score without actually judging. A sad state of affairs.
