Should NCAA Men switch to the 10.0 system.

Oklahoma Head Coach Mark Williams doesn’t think so.

Personally I don’t think it would work to improve chances the American Collegiate program survives.

Right now some of the Men’s teams are doing a poor job of social media, LIVE competition video and LIVE scoring. At almost zero budget, that would be the best first step.

It might be worth keeping FIG scoring while doing more to publicize high E-score routines. Post the E-score alongside final score, for example.

About time. This is Lexy’s first 10 and she could have had MANY by now if she competed for another team.

Lexy was excited her team had a record high Beam score, as well.

GREAT College routines from the last decade

Yes the “perfect 10” scoring system in College women’s Gymnastics is silly.

Yes it works for media and marketing. We should make the best of it.

In fact, I’m more outraged for gymnasts who should have got a perfect 10 than for those who did with errors.

Vault is the apparatus where I can most legitimately respect judges throwing a 10.
