In 50 minutes! Stay informed!

Had a conversation with a coach today that was looking for my advice on the new scoresheet.

Coach, “What am I supposed to do with those kids that aren’t going to be on the same level as they were last year because of the higher requirements?”
Me, “Train them up.”

That’s our job. If you are not taking the time to train up your athletes, you need to step up and do it. Quit just training a routine and work on your athletes.

Too many coaches want to have the athletes given to them ready and to only work the routine.

Time to put the work into these kids. They deserve it..

The committees and myself I’ve had several meetings with veteran, respected judges and event producers over the past few weeks. Though there are problems with the present score sheet and there are great minds that have put effort into making it better, there are some still major issues that if not addressed, it won’t make any difference what scoresheet we use. These include:

Allowing enough time for judges to script and fill out the score sheet properly
EPs putting limits on how low a judge can score
A proper pay scale to incentivize judges
Proper electronics to review if necessary
Judges lack of knowledge of skills
Need of responsible judges (cancelling last minute)
Most importantly, Proper training of judges

We are presently working with these judges and EP’s to solve or at least minimize the problems above
