Clarifying some of the confusing difficulty scores from Singapore …

From A J at the superb THE ALL AROUND blog and Facebook page:

For women:

– F and G skills are credited as Es;
– C dismounts get full credit, B dismounts get .30; A dismounts are .0 (same in MAG)
– in vault Finals, 2 different vaults from the same family allowed
– No more than 2.5 in CR

Although Fs and Gs are capped at .50 difficulty value, there are no caps on the vault values.

Thanks Warren.

THANKS IGC and Bruno Klaus.

… Horton, who trains at Cypress Academy, won a total of $17, 500 for his results in the all-around, still rings, floor exercise, and vault.

“I have to say thank you so much to IGC and Bruno Klaus,” said Horton. “This is one of the greatest things anyone has ever done for men’s gymnastics. To donate that kind of money and give it to the athletes who aren’t in school and live on their own like me (I’m married), Danell and Chris. We support ourselves right now so to have somebody donate that and support men’s gymnastics is one of the kindest things.”

Danell Leyva of Miami/Universal Gymnastics, and Chris Brooks of Houston/University of Oklahoma, were the next top earners, collecting $9,500 and $7,500, respectively. …
