Can someone explain a 99.1 to me like I’m 5? Isn’t that just flat out ridiculous?

I think it’s because they normalize the scores and that’s how you get a .1

No not the .1 specifically I mean that entire score, isn’t a 99 damn near flawless or am I just thinking they score it like the X games? 
Obviously there’s a lot more to judging yoyo than that but I’m just talking about the performance in general

100 would mean 1st place from every judge. 99.1 therefore is probably 1st from all judges but one and a close 2nd from that judge.

Ah okay that makes more sense now thank you!
Man… seeing all the stories from last night @ the welcome party… the energy of everything is just crazy infectious. I’m so beyond bummed I didn’t go this year lol
Should’ve copped flight tickets when they were like 6 bills last year. Next year FOR SURE!

Here we go!!!
I wonder how long I’m going to be able to stay up
For the wildcard they only used Technical Execution (TE). No FE or MD. So no, I don’t think anything was normalized. Dang near perfect though.
Here is the structure for each day.

TE is normalized between judges.
TE is the clicker score. All of the judges except one clicked Togo Katsuda the highest, and the judge who didn’t click them the highest had them at a very close second most likely. Basically what Nathan already said.
