Interclub Mock Meet RESULTS

My apologies for taking so long to get this up. Things have been busy with Christmas and all. Here they are. Congratulations to everyone. The Mock Meet went really well and all the athletes performed to their abilities. Thank you to Scarborough Gym Elites and Quinte Bay Gymnastics Club for participating.

If anyone has pictures from the day's events or awards I would love to post some here. I was busy doing the scoring that day and I didn't take any pictures of my own to post.

For the Demonstration athletes I simply posted the order of presentation as we do not generate scores for demonstrators.

On the score sheet you will see that the athletes receive an execution score from each of the three judges. Things that make a big difference are: landing on one foot instead of two, taking an extra step into a pass that should start with a hurdle, falling down or touching any body part to the floor other than hands and feet.

In the second pass the athlete also receives a DD score which means degree of difficulty score. For this level of athlete the DD is all the same as they must do the same skill. In higher levels this is different and more valuable. Both scores are added together to get an overall score. We gave awards for 1st pass, 2nd pass and Allaround but in official competitions usually only the allaround awards will be given. Hopefully this little bit of explanation helps as I know most parents sit in the viewing area scratching their heads as to what it all means.

Provincial Qualification Scores 2010/2011

These are the scores you need to acheive in order to attend the Provincial Championships.

You need to meet the score two times over four competitions but there is an interesting provision that you can do this by adding two scores together to make the total of hitting the score twice.

e.g. 1st Ontario Cup Suzie, a Provincial D tumblers, receives a score of 55 and at the 2nd Ontario Cup Suzie gets a 52 (her total score over two competitions is 107). To qualify to Provincial Championships she only needs to make 106 (53 +53). So even though she has only hit score once she has been close enough to make an accumulative score that is high enough. Strange. I know but it does help those few athletes who were close get to Provincial Championships.

Provincial D 53

Provincial C 53.1

Provincial B 50.9

Provincial A 49.6

Good luck to everyone this weekend!
