If "So and So" Made the USA World's Team

Qualifications took place today and The USA has 2 women in every final!  The USA Women had an outstanding day, with Simone Biles qualifying to all the finals, Kyla Ross qualifying into the AA, UB,BB, and FX finals, and McKayla Maroney qualifying into the VT finals (and the AA and the FX....I HATE THE TWO PER COUNTRY RULE!..but I digress,)!  In the weeks prior to the championships, there has been many speculation about who should take the fourth spot, which was ultimately unused, after Marta scratched Brenna Dowell to allow McKayla Maroney to compete in the AA.  So now that we know who qualified into each final, I wanted to take the bars and beam scores of the rest of the National Team to see if they would have skewed the qualifications for the US team, to see if Marta made the right choice.

Brenna Dowell
Highest Score on UB in 2013: 14.7 (City Of Jesolo)
Highest Score on BB in 2013: 13.85 (P&G Championships Day 2)

Kennedy Baker
Highest Score on UB in 2013: 13.55 (Secret Classic)
Highest Score on BB in 2013: 14.65 (P&G Championships Day 2)

Peyton Ernst
Highest Score on UB in 2013: 14.8 (USA-GER-ROM Tri Meet)
Highest Score on BB in 2013: 14.9 (P&G Championships Day 2)

Maggie Nichols
Highest Score on UB in 2013: 14.15 (P&G Championships Day 2)
Highest Score on BB in 2013: 14.5 (P&G Championships Day 2)

Elizabeth Price
Highest Score on UB in 2013: 14.8 (P&G Championships Day 2)
Highest Score on BB in 2013: N/A (I'm not sure how Elizabeth was scoring at camp)

MyKayla Skinner
Highest Score on UB in 2013: 13.55 ( P&G Championships Day 2)
Highest Score on BB in 2013: 14.25 (P&G Championships Day 2)

If Peyton Ernst made the US World's Team, she would've tied Simone Biles for the 2nd American UB finals, but would've won the tiebreaker due to a higher execution.

If Peyton Ernst made the US World's Team, she would've beaten Shang Chunsong for the second qualifying spot.
