Cutting Mechanics Freestyle Cutting Competition 2011

Judges Comments:

Ok I hope my scoring works for you guys.Open event,1-5

Jacob-3-Tombo is one of the harder cuts to get perfect.You completed the pattern,but the first cut wasnt full.

DTG-4-Very nice fluid form Greg.

O.T.-3-Nicely done man,thats a difficult cut.

My scoring was mainly based on form and Greg held the best form.It wasnt neccesarily his choice of routine that got my vote, rather it was how he performed it.I hope this was good for you guys.I really appreciate being involved,it was much fun.

Final event; open cut

Jake- 2-5 It would have been nice if both cuts had been the same distance from ends ( or the first cut being through the full mat) , therefor keeping the balance. Good effort on a difficult cut.

DTG- 4-5 If that first cut had gone through, it would have been sweet. You are the epitome of a freestyle cutter.Great to watch.

OT- 3-5 Too bad it didn't stay static after the first cut, the form was very nice.

Thanks for including me in this event judging. It was great.

Given that you are all doing different techniques this was tough. I am giving 5 to the winner with 4 or less to the runners up. I gave you all 1 to 5's based on several criteria, difficulty, originality, completion, ...then I averaged to scores.

Greg - 5

OT - 4

Jake - 3

I hope this scoring method works for you; peace all; Gary
