From the basic like track and field to the complicated like baseball, football, soccer, rugby. In all of these sports, the scoring is the same all the way through.
In something like gymnastics or freestyle moto-x there is no hard and fast scoring. One judge will take off a certain amount here, another a certain amount there, the scoring is variable, it changes. If it was such an accurate system then there would be no need for averages, the score of every judge would be the same. Instead personal opinion is involved and one judge can score one full point higher or one full point lower.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
