Judge What You See

A number of coaches have spoken with me and worried about the judging of our events.

Their concern is: Many athletes’ have been on the cusp of moving up to 2.5, 4.0, and 6.0. for a number of times but have been held back for a long time.

Another situation: An athlete had just moved up one level, because of a perfect performance, but on the next competition had a poor performance yet received the same score. It is all right to score below the level, if you felt they did not compare with the role model and range descriptions for that level on that day.

Baton Grip Tape... Your Opinions Please!

November 29, 2014 - The use of grip tape on batons has continued to increase over the past 20 years. Pretty much every 'legitimate' sport that uses an 'apparatus' (tennis, hockey, baseball, lacrosse, rhythmic gymnastics, golf, etc) has rules governing that apparatus. This has not been done for baton twirling.
