I don’t think so, actually. This has been an excellent season so far.
Greg Marsden posted some history on 10s.

Myia Hambrick sticks landings
See just a few on Tumblr.
are Arabians forwards or backwards tumbling?
WAG considers them forward (SALTOS FORWARD & SIDEWARD). MAG backward. It’s silly that the two Technical committees can’t agree.
The takeoff is more critical than the landing position in my opinion. Arabians are much more a backwards tumbling skill than forwards.

Amanar & Rudi both 5.8 difficulty
I feel Amanar is much more difficult than Rudi.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
In the Men’s 2020 Code Amanar (Shewfelt) is 5.2, Rudi is 4.8.
should Men’s NCAA return to the perfect 10?
Mark Williams (Oklahoma): “No! I believe we must stay with the FIG scoring system to stay relevant.”
Thom Glielmi (Stanford): “Yes, but it would have to be initiated by FIG.”
Rustam Sharipov (Ohio State): “No. The majority of our guys want to make the national team, they want to go to the world championships, they want to represent the U.S. ….”
Justin Spring (Illinois): “No. The only reason the 10.0 worked, in my opinion, was because it was a score cap. Almost everyone in the competitive field had a 10.0 start value and the audience assumed that to be true for all competitors. If we go to a modified 10.0 using a scaled open-ended Code where only 5% of the competitive field is even close to a 10.0 start value, it will only confuse fans even more.”
Randy Jepson (Penn State): “Yes!!! It would be very easy to have judges determine a final score using the current FIG standards and use a multiplier on that score, which would equate to a 10. It would be a huge benefit for media and fans.”
Mike Burns (Minnesota): “As much as going back to a 10.0 might make our scoring easier to understand, I don’t feel that deviating from the FIG Code of Points is a wise decision. Because a large chunk of the Olympic developmental pipeline runs directly through the NCAA men’s program, I feel it’s imperative we stay aligned with the FIG.”

2020 Men’s Code of Points
Kensley Behel:
We’re officially in a new quad, and as always, that means forgetting everything you thought you knew about the code of points and spending the next four years trying to remember everything new, only to have to start all over again in 2021.
As we gear up for Winter Cup and American Cup leading into the elite season, we’ve been prepping an event-by-event breakdown for you, as well as a general look at the biggest changes facing the code this quad.
The biggest change will decrease all-around scores by about three points for the men …
