How does that work? I’m trying to figure that out in my head, but my brain has turned to liquid, and the NyQuil is not helping.
 
There were so many shonky round offs at worlds. Jarman was another offender. Several gymnasts were twisting well off the diagonal as well. They would RO to one side to compensate for massive twisting travel.

He didn’t get over the bar on his Adlers - no credit. With all the mistakes in the routine he left must have left out other skills too, so even when counting giants it’s only 7 skills.
 
@FrolovasDoubleLayout is right. (As usual. LOL.)

That routine was score this way:
  • Kip + cast is a single element in MAG. Kip isn’t an element.
  • Stalders, Endos, Weilers, and Jams that don’t go over the bar get –0.3 AND don’t get credit. That’s a rule change this year and it mostly punishes guys going for the HS. It’s a ruthless, counterproductive rule.
  • 3.0 neutral deduction for counting only 7 elements. (Counting only 8 is totally fine. Counting 7 is 3.0 off, 6 is 4.0 off, etc. Drastic drop from 8 to 7.)
This is yet another example of how stupid the Code of Points can get. If he had done an extra kip cast, he would have gotten 3.1 points higher. Absurd.
