Each item on the scoresheet has requirements to achieve certain ranges of scores.

    1. 0-2, 2-5 and 4-10 for example
    2. 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.
 
  1. Numbers of people on a team performing the skills
    1. The more tumblers the higher the score in difficulty
    2. The more people in tosses, the higher the score
