That tumbling score is legit? Give me a fricken break!

Unfortunately, there's a scoresheet and the gold medal doesn't just go to the team with the biggest WOW factor. It doesn't work like that. Their pyramids are bad-booty and they're an incredible team. But there's 67% of the scoresheet that aren't pyramids and I don't believe that their pyramid score is high enough to overcome their deficits in other areas.

That's an obvious statement & I'm completely aware of that. I respect your opinion, I'm just saying don't take their "moment" away. We can say woulda coulda shoulda for the next 12 months and it won't change the fact that they killed it and won.

I wish we could separate "philosophical problems with the scoring system" from "who deserved to win". Maybe a different thread?

Obviously the issue again lies with the USASF. They put forth a score sheet which is "comparative" therefore the judges can technically pick who they want to win.

Sorry Green Storm, just meant to post! Not reply (although I am to this thread). I really think there should be a separate division just for teams outside of the USA. Clearly they have talent and compete at this type of level, but not ours. It is not a fair set up at all.

I don't understand this. It's WORLDS, the whole point is for teams from different countries to compete against one another.

I'm so mad. I'm sitting at the airport fuming. 285 raw score. What a joke. This is an embarrassment.

33.5/35 for single based stunting. For 4 hands-stretches.

4.4/4.5 for overall tumbling, yet their other tumbling scores were all in the 3s.

I want to be very clear. I love Bangkok. I think USASF could have had them perform at the stadium last night regardless. I don't know if it's because they're the first non-English speaking or European team (who all speak English) to be a contender, but there's no reason for this special treatment. Every single coach in that division should be blowing up the USASF's demanding an explanation.

I want to shimmy this twice. Great team, amazing pyramids, but they don't have all categories covered. This is insane.

I guess I am trying to be nice. There are not many countries competing at worlds at the same level as the US. Kind of like the division 1/2 suggestion for worlds.

Okay, seen the score sheet. Don´t get it.
Exaggertation to express how i feel:
This uneven scores to what the teams had in their routine make me believe judges throw darts at their
scoresheets and whatever they hit, counts.

If I were a coach of any of the top 4 teams right now, USASF would be in for a boat load of complaints from me. And I wouldn't stop until there was a legitimate explanation given. I rarely preach politics but the only reason I can see them giving Bangkok first is so they'd have the opportunity to perform in the baseball stadium for ESPN

Didn't even think about that as a motive but it makes sense

Apparently coaches from the top teams have talked to USASF and have asked for an explanation and all they said was that they made a mistake and they are sorry, and theres nothing they can do....

Bull.

Everyone in IOC6 should do cartwheels next year.

 

[Mr May]

Can anyone confirm this to be the same pyramid done in Icu that was also called illegal?

 

[gofriars610]

Imagine if other sports did this? "Oh hi Team Bulgaria women's hockey your stickhandling is kinda rough so your goals count for two against the USA--but we won't tell anyone until the end."
