Oy - now that Pommel is done...

Top 5 men using average score of 3 best scores from Champs & Trials - I'm only including Nedoroscik because he's maybe got a slight chance...
1) Nedoroscik 14.950
2) Malone 14.133
3) Juda 14.100
4) Bock 14.000
5) Young 13.950

Top 5 men using highest score from Champs & Trials
1) Nedoroscik 15.40
2) Young 15.00
3) Juda 14.25
4) Malone 14.10
5) Bock 14.10

ETA - the #6 guy on PH is Walker and he's not making a case for himself on any other apparatus so it's really a "why bother?" They're gonna have to use a junk score in most all likelihood.

Oh dear. That certainly leaves the 5th spot wide open and I can't see USAG selecting her in any scenario.

so you’ve got the auto qualifier first. If the athlete who has the highest combined four day total is also in the top 3 apparatuses, they automatically qualify and 4 remaining gymnasts are Selected using the math. If not, all 5 are selected using the math.

• There are two data sets. One averaging the best 3 out of 4 from each athlete and one averaging all 4 from each athlete. (No highest score, trials only, etc)
• They create the top 5 scoring teams in the 5-3-3 format for each data set.
  • If there is an auto qualifier, only teams with that person are considered.
  • Any team that can’t field 4 gymnasts on every apparatus is eliminated unless it’s 0.5 points higher than the next highest.
• If the highest scoring team in the two data sets are the same, that team is AUTOMATICALLY SELECTED with no discussion.
• If the highest from the two data sets are separated by more than two points, the highest of the two is automatically selected.

If neither happens, it goes to discretion, with factors that can be considered including:

• Trials only scores
• Total team d score
• International experience
• Results from other competitions

Interestingly, injury petitions are allowed for men.

This is so awful. Shilese, Skye, and Kayla all out. Not what I wanted at all. I wanted them all on the team with Simone.

I am over the “parents cam”

How did that become a thing? You don't see it in most sports (that I know of).

That average score for Stephen is gonna go a long way. You’re bound to take two people with a point or more lower than him, and almost everyone has had a disaster score as it is.

I said it at Nationals and tried to convince myself out of it, but he probably still offers the most if they are looking at overall scoring potential. One event risk, of course it’s a different story.

stop saying all this!

 

[Rukia]

we're past rational thought at this point

 

[Theatregirl1122]

It’s honestly wild that, after all of that, the women’s procedure is just the person with the highest four day score makes it and the committee gets to do whatever they want for the rest.

that's how it was meant to be esoteric and nonsensical

The biggest tea thing is that if the highest scoring team with both the best three day out of four and four day averages, they have to choose that team. If he’s on it, they have no choice.

What time are they announcing the team?

 

[Rukia]

Frederick is the only one who gets to go take a nap now

 

[Theatregirl1122]

What time are they announcing the team?

Usually it’s just… when they’re ready

Fred locks it.

 

[ilovepaydays]

I think to an extent it was always there, but blame the Raisman’s for making it amped up as much well as it is.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Does anyone have the spreadsheets to see what the top five teams are with best three out of four and average of all four?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I think we can pretty much guarantee that Paul and Shane are going to Paris. The real question is are they on the team or alternates?

 

[Karen-W]

Vault Top 5 - 3 score avg -

1) Young 14.967
2) Hong 14.717
3) Whittenburg 14.650
4) Malone 14.567
5) Juda 14.533

NBC Sports….

I think Asher and Brody did as well.

working on them but we're in mid-comp and I didn't realize that the 2nd data set was the 4-score average so I'm having to update one of my spreadsheets.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

So in contention:
Fredrick Richard (lock)
Brody Malone
Asher Hong
Khoi Young
Yul Mouldaur
Shane Wiskus
Paul Juda
Stephen Nedoroscik

Anyone else?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I think Asher and Brody did as well.

Fred mathematically locked it. He’s got a guaranteed place.

Fuzzy Benas finished 6th and I’m sure I never saw one of his routines

Sorry to make more work for you, but glad I looked it up. Such good teamwork here on the FSU National team.

 

[Allskate]

Fuzzy Benes finished 6th and I’m sure I never saw one of his routines

I think it's so strange that they didn't show a single one of his routines on the main feed.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I’ve reached the age where many of the younger gymnasts remind me of my students. Usually not the rude ones, though.
