scflips said:I know that there would be MANY complaints about a Universal score sheet BUT if the rule is the rule and its consistant then gyms would have to follow. Did everyone agree with the age grid? No, but since it is the same throughout, gyms follow, they don't have a choice. If you tell me I need "x" to max out the score at EVERY comp I go to then I as a gym would focus on "x", doesn't matter what "x" is as long as its the same every week. Stong tumbling gyms would complain if the scoresheet leans in favor of stunts and the same if tumbling were over stunts. (I don't see why they all can't be worth the same, mood point). BUT if you tell me what I have to do, then I can complain, get those on board that need to be and then change it for ALL events then I'd be alot happier. Is it an easy, quick fix, NO but can it at least be a start, YES. Honestly EVERY gym out there has a scoresheet they prefer and one that benefits them the best but if you tell ALL gyms what they have to do, then ALL gyms would adjust.
I just think the "you can't please everyone" thing is a cop out. You can please me by letting me know what I have to do EVERY week, I'll make the adjustment (as I think all good coaches/gyms) would do.
I don't think the issue is with the coaches/gyms. The issue is with the event producers. How do you make them happy?
Most of them feel their scoresheet is what makes gyms choose to compete with them.
How do they get on board?
