Men’s NCAA preview
Click through to read the SUMMARY and a predicted ranking of the teams by a panel of experts.
When the Sooners open up their season on January 12 at the Rocky Mountain Open, they won’t look all that different from the team that secured a fourth-straight NCAA title in 2018. For anyone in the NCAA with aspirations of dethroning the champs, that spells bad news. …
“You know, we’re only losing four scores from NCAA’s last year and Matt Wenske is coming back to full health, which will be big,” explained head coach Mark Williams.

the new NCAA Championship format
Spencer:
The new postseason format instituted for 2019 is an improvement over the previous system in many ways, most notably because of the elimination of those bloated and interminable six-team meets with bye rotations. It still has its faults and problems from the previous format that have gone unresolved, which we’ll all be sure to complain about at every possible moment, but it’s a step. So here’s how it will go. …
Previously, the 36 advancing teams would be divided among 6 regional sites—6 teams at each site—for a single day of elimination competition from which the top 2 teams at each site advanced to the national championship.
This year, the 36 advancing teams will be divided among 4 regional sites—9 teams at each site—for three days of elimination competition after which the top 2 teams at each site will advance to the national championship.
The four regional sites this year are LSU, Georgia, Michigan, and Oregon State. …

College gymnasts – narcotic pain meds
According to the recently released NCAA National Study on Substance Use Habits of College Student-Athletes, the proportion of women’s gymnasts who reported using narcotic pain medications — nearly 18 percent — is the highest among student-athletes in any sport.
Overall, the use of pain medication, both prescribed and nonprescribed, has decreased among student-athletes since the release of the last NCAA substance use study in 2014, but health care professionals still are examining how best to manage pain among college athletes. …
College Beam Judging
The sheep jump is also typically a disaster in NCAA. A sheep jump is technically expected to show closure of feet to head and an open angle in the hips.
No one in NCAA does this—deductions on sheep form tend to be pretty charitable …
College sticks. The college stick occurs when a gymnast hasn’t actually stuck a landing but has enough control to pretend she stuck the landing, trying to cover up the step by sliding into a salute at the same time. This tends to get .05 off, even if the step itself ends up being pretty large …
The new favorite talking point for judging in the 2019 season is the rule about pause deductions on beam, which has been revised …

Collegiate Gymnastics Growth Initiative
Donations gratefully accepted.
The Collegiate Gymnastics Growth Initiative (CGGI) was formed to promote awareness in the pursuit and addition of new women’s collegiate gymnastics programs across the country, thus providing more opportunities for college bound gymnasts.
We would like to extend an invitation to gymnastics clubs nationwide to support and assist our initiative’s needs through donations.
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 = 0.2Indirect acrobatic connections
A+A+C = 0.1
A+D = 0.1
C+C = 0.2Dance 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 = 0.2To 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.
