All Things Scoreboard: Introducing NCAA Gymnastics' New Judges Evaluation System
Description
For this special bonus episode we are joined by three members of the WCGA judging issues committee to learn more about the new pilot program that is being used to evaluate college gymnastics judges this season called Scoreboard.
This is a program that was created in 2023 by the WCGA Judging Issues Committee to help create a level-playing field of scores across the country, to strengthen integrity in the routine evaluation process, and to increase consistency in applications of deductions nationally. They also hope to provide policy and protocol for egregious scoring errors and provide a transparent, formalized postseason selection process through Scoreboard.
To help break it all down are three members of the WCGA Judging Issues committee:
Bev Plocki is the co-chair of the committee and the head coach at the University of Michigan, where she’s been for 36 years.
Kasey Crawford who is also co-chair of the committee and the head coach at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse, where she has been for 9 years. She is also a certified USAG Level 10 judge.
Amy Blee who is a committee member, assistant coach at Hamline University, and a former NCAA gymnastics judge.
