Point Deduction Scenario Examples
 

Below are 3 examples of how the scoring system might work for a team on a single day of competition, highlighting how the Point Deduction Judges and LevelPlay/Safety Judges can affect the final score.

SCENARIO ONE: NO FALLS/BOBBLES, NO LEVELPLAY/SAFETY VIOLATIONS
Let’s say the Head Judge gave them an overall score of 140, the Panel Judges gave them overall scores of 138 and 142, and the Point Deduction judges gave them overall scores of 135 and 139.

The Point Deduction Judges didn't give any falls or bobbles and the LevelPlay/Safety Judges didn't give any violations.

  Saturday  
Head Judge Overall Score (1) 140 140
Panel Judges Overall Scores (2) 138 + 142 (high score) 280
Point Deduction Judges Overall Scores (2) 135 (low score) + 139 274
Overall Score Subtotal 140 + 280 + 274 694
Remove the High and Low Scores 694 - 142 - 135 417
Remove the Tumble/Stunt Mistake Point Deduction Total 417 - 0 417
Remove the LevelPlay/Safety Violation Point Deduction Total 417 - 0 417
Final Overall Score Total for Saturday   417



SCENARIO TWO: MINOR FALLS/BOBBLES, NO SAFETY VIOLATIONS
Let’s say the Head Judge gave them an overall score of 134, the Panel Judges gave them overall scores of 128 and 137, and the Point Deduction Judges gave them overall scores of 130 and 133.

The Point Deduction Judges saw two (2) Individual Falls and one (1) Group Bobble in the routine and assessed 3 Mistake Deduction Points. Note that in addition to removing 3 points from the overall routine score this also means that the points that the judges can award in the “Perfection of Routine” category has been reduced by 3 points... in effect making the best possible routine score for this team a 147.

The LevelPlay/Safety Judges didn't give any violations.
