Each item on the scoresheet has requirements to achieve certain ranges of scores.
- 0-2, 2-5 and 4-10 for example
- Getting a score that falls within 2 ranges is common. For example: a 4 could be mid range or high range in this example.
- Judges will score in the mid range for most elements unless they are excited by what they see, or feel the element is sub standard.
- Numbers of people on a team performing the skills
- The more tumblers the higher the score in difficulty
- The more people in tosses, the higher the score
- The other teams at the event.
- IASF scoring is subjective to how the judges feel you fit into the level of competition that day.
- Scores can be different at each event
- Deductions
- Points taken from the total overall scores, or raw scores.
- Falls, Bobbles, Mistakes
- Legalities, Code of Conduct
- Deductions will also be reflected in the elements of the scoresheet as well.
- Falls may alter the score ranges in difficulty
- Bobbles may alter the score ranges in technique
- Judges
- Judges do not score based upon effort. They score what they see.
- Judges are people and are impacted on things like fatigue, boredom, etc.
