The Best Men’s Scores in 2018

/ January 3, 2019

We’ve made it! We’ve done it! After covering 210 meets over the past twelve months, we’re super ready for a month-long nap before kicking off the 2019 season, but first we’re going to take a look at all of the top scores we saw this year, breaking them down into all scores in this post as well as a separate post featuring international scores only.

The list of top all-around and event scores is below. An asterisk (*) next to the name denotes a junior competitor, and I’ve removed bonus from all domestic meets to keep things consistent. As a note, we only include juniors in the two-vault averages or D-score combos if they’re competing vaults from two different families, and if a competition uses bonuses but their score sheets don’t differentiate those bonuses from the totals, we don’t include those scores in our database.
