Tonight I was hoping to watch MAG US nationals but no live stream for international viewers :(. What the hell. I wanted to watch NBC coverage. Instead I was waiting and watching USAGym youtube video clips.
This was a nice routine for 15.900. Lots of nice double saltos.
- First, I love how USAG uploads videos so fast to youtube. Thank you to them.
-There were lots of nice double layouts being thrown out on floor. I really like that skill.
-I really dislike how NBC is using that colour triangle thing for their scoring system. And they still do that max and deduction system. Why are they trying to be so different? Is it really hard for them to be normal? Why can't they just use D-score and E-score?
-I was really impressed by Ross's DTY. Tim Daggat said he didn't know where the deductions came from but hello her leg separations in preflight gave some tenths away.
-No one stood out artistically on floor except maybe for Maroney. I dig her style but I always fear she will go out of bounds.
-The Amanars that Maroney and Biles did had huge 0.3 deductions in landings. Biles had a nice second vault.
-Biles beam was watered down (no 2 ff + layout) and a little shaky but her dismount in connection was insane and stuck.
This was a cool routine with double spin + full spin, triple spin and aerial cartwheel + back tuck. Douglas placed 1st QF with D5.9 + E8.275 = 14.175. Sadly in event finals she placed last.

I have decided to make a monthly post about the CoP (code of points). I got this idea because maybe some of my readers want to know more about the gymnastics rules. I'm not an expert but I do know a lot. If I ever make a mistake or if you guys have questions just type a comment and tell me what's on your mind.
My first tip of the month is kind of random but I hope it helps you guys learn a little bit about the CoP. And by the way I will focus mainly on WAG code.
Tip- For balance beam dismount connections, gymnasts will only be rewarded 0.1 series bonus (SB). A gymnast must perform three skills to get the SB. The three connected skills must be B+B+C or higher to receive 0.1 SB. There are no other bonus points awarded. This means a beam dismount in connection can only get maximum of 0.1 bonus and nothing more. In the old CoP they were allowed 0.1 - 0.2 maximum.
