greater accountability for Gymnastics judges
I was an FIG judge for decades. Always willing to justify my scores to any gymnast or coach.
Over that time in MAG we sometimes published the names of judge scores on each apparatus. Sometimes we didn’t.
Personally I feel judging would be better — more accurate — more objective — if judges names were published with the scores they awarded.
Officials in other sports are far more visible than Gymnastics.
You can see them for NCAA meets on Road To Nationals. For example, if you go to the results page for the Jan-05-2019 Oklahoma – Arkansas meet, and click on the PDF link top left, you get the official score sheet signed by the judges.
Also. Perhaps they could TRY to not to score based on reputation.
Thanks Cordelia.
Shadae Boone – Vault
When I see judging like this, I DREAM of computer video evaluation. It would be easy for software on Vault to be more accurate.

What are the names of those judges?

Georgia defeats Florida
There’s no question now. The Dawgs are back as Four on the Floor contenders.
Coach Courtney Kupets Carter was one of my favourite gymnasts all time.
The biggest contributor to the 4 consecutive National Team titles for Georgia. I loved her attitude.

… So she trained with the club.
Until this past weekend. 🙂
