like beating a throw to a base, travelling, or ball placement for first downs? -- nm - crash davis Jan 5, 13:01 6
- Don't listen to Will. Argue with my good point below about "artisitc merit". (nm) - Happy mu Year! Jan 5, 13:03 2
  - Then gymnastics is a sport now. -- nm - Dano Jan 5, 13:08 1
    - Yes. You convinced me of that a long time ago. (nm) - Happy mu Year! Jan 5, 13:10
- See...judges alone. You fail reading comprehension. - Will Hunting Jan 5, 13:03 2
  - I don't know about your example, but if Sasha Cohen had landed that one jump (an atheletic endeavor) she wins. - crash davis Jan 5, 13:06 1
    - she already won in my book -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 5, 13:07
with figure skating it's more cut and dry. execute your program completely, don't fall, and you get the points -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 5, 13:00 5
- The new gymnastics scoring system is also more objective than in the past. - Dano Jan 5, 13:06
- I'd modify Will's definition to say whenever the winner can be determined by something like "artistic merit". (nm) - Happy mu Year! Jan 5, 13:02 3
  - calling a fake punt on 4th and 9 on your own 33 has artistic merit -- nm - crash davis Jan 5, 13:08 2
    - Lady in the Water has artistic merit, doesn't make it a sport. (nm) - Happy mu Year! Jan 5, 13:11 1
      - I won't argue the second part, but some may argue the first. And yup, - crash davis Jan 5, 13:14
