Maybe I'm just an old curmudgeon...but I don't even like that they make the floor exercise floor all springy.

And what happened to the scoring? Remember when people tried to get a "perfect" 10? What the hell?

Agreed. I don't like the bouncy floors and I have no idea what happened with the scoring. I think they changed the scoring to try and prevent biased - Krusty Aug 3, 07:10 6
- I thinkit's more a way to account for differing levels of difficulty in the routines, which makes sense to me. -- nm - znufrii, missing an arm Aug 3, 07:19 4
  - I think it's this and what I mentioned. They had problems with scoring and they seem to have fixed it. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 07:25 3
    - Depends on your definition of "fixed". If by "fixed" you mean, it's more fair and the true winners will emerge...ok, fine. if by "fixed" you mean... - Jim Aug 3, 07:36 2
      - Anything that can make things less subjective in judging, I'm all for. - Will Hunting Aug 3, 07:47
      - I mean more fair and at the same time it's also more confusing. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 07:45

yeah, I totally get the reasons behind the new scoring system, but I still don't like it. -- nm - znufrii, missing an arm Aug 3, 07:09
