Things To Know...

Gymnastics is a cool sport with flips and tricks,
but behind the scenes, it gets tricky to keep up
with. First, whenever gymnasts are competing, they
go in competition order, which is VAULT, BARS, BEAM,
and FLOOR. Even though you may not start on vault,
you still go in that order. Also, scoring can be a
little bit confuzing, but I'll tell you how it works.
If a gymnast does a perfect routine, they will score
a ten, which is the highest score. If you fall off the
apuratus, it takes away five tenths, which will make your
score a 9.5. In levels 9 and 10, you can do harder skills
than what is required, and you can get what is called BONUS.
If you get any deductions, bonus can make your score higher.
