what gymnasts do in the snow

Where I live clubs are closed for the holidays. …

But that doesn’t mean we can’t keep Gyming.

NCAA Floor judging

Spencer:

… gymnasts attempt to get to a 10.0 start value by earning up to five tenths of bonus. Bonus is earned in two categories.

1) Skill value – Each D element earns 0.1 in bonus, and each E element earns 0.2.

2) Connection value – There are super tons of formulae through which gymnasts can receive connection bonus on floor.

Direct acrobatic connections
A+C = 0.1
A+A+C = 0.1
B+B = 0.1 (as long as the skills are different)
B+C = 0.2
A+D = 0.2

Indirect acrobatic connections
A+A+C = 0.1
A+D = 0.1
C+C = 0.2

Dance or mixed connections
B+D = 0.1
C+C = 0.1
D salto + A jump = 0.1
C+A+A (salto/dance/salto) = 0.1
C+D = 0.2

To earn the full five tenths of bonus, at least one tenth must come from each category (skill value and connection value), so gymnasts can’t load up exclusively on one category or another.

College Gym News – Airing of Grievances

If you’re a fan of Seinfeld, you likely know of a little holiday called Festivus and one of its annual traditions called the Airing of Grievances.

We’re taking the opportunity to air some grievances about college gymnastics and start 2019 with a clean slate of frustrations:

Judges Not Judging

Constant Complaining

Biased Fans

Athletic Departments Not Seeing the Value of Gymnastics

Inconvenient Meet Times

We Need to Talk About BTN (and the Big 12)

Nonexistent Scores

Lack of Transparency

Same Bar Release Discourse

Themed Meets

Words On Leotards
