I completely agree with this. 3A is a standard jump for men, but the value should be raised for women, to reflect how difficult it is and how few people could do it.
I don't get your reasoning. Seriously people are saying the base value for 3A in lady dicipline is too low, hence not many ladies go for it. They go for 3-3 more.I believe that Mao has been rewarded for the 3A (e.g. worlds 2014). But she has usually have no 3-3-Combo and many underrotated jumps. She lost many points their. if she had jumped the 3A and a 3-3-Combo then she would have got around 81 pionts for the SP in Worlds 2014!
I think the points are ok. 10,3 pionts for a 4T and 4,1 pionts for a 3T. That is a hugh gap.
They always announce at the events to turn off the flash for the safety of the skaters. Sometimes they need to announce more often.
Will all the smarts phone, etc., it must be impossible for the powers that be to stop people from taking videos. Just like it is impossible for copyright holders to stop people from posting to You Tube.
But ... it is prudent for the powers that to spell out their policies on the event website, on signage, and by other means -- even if it is impossible to enforce the rules exhaustively.
Then if the PTB want to attempt to enforce their policies in certain cases, any excuse that "I didn't know the rules" will be no more than a lame excuse.
True. But if i were USFS I would be tickled to death if anyone snuck in and made a homemade video of their favorite Skate America performance, put it up on You Tube, and told their friends all about it on Twitter. ...

I remember back in the 1980s the Detroit Pistons professional basketball team was so bad that they just opened the doors to the games and let people come in off the streets, ticket or no ticket. Today the franchise is worth US$ 450,000,000.
I And what is it that makes the world go 'round? Cue Joel Grey.
... Having said all that, also have to admit that I'm w/ noskates -- IN subscriptions ain't cheap and there's lots of stuff I wouldn't get to see if it weren't for YT!
... Getting back to skating, but staying in Italy, and Valentina Marchei is in the Air Force. Unfortunately, I don’t know what exactly she does, but the idea of her being a pilot does sound very attractive…! Anyway, here is a story about Vale on the Air Force’s website, and she is also mentioned in this more general story about athletes in the Air Force. ...
I seriously doubt that the USFS would think someone recording a performance and putting it on YouTube would be a good way to market figure skating. Just like concerts and plays, there are copyright issues and it IS illegal. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen all the time but it wouldn't be condoned or encouraged behavior. I don't really know what the hook is between IN and USFS but as I repeatedly say, you have to have a good network to truly enjoy the Ice Network live streams and even the videos. So while on the one hand I say it's illegal to record and publish, I'm ever thankful that some break the law or I would never see some of the performances...
I just finished reading thread dedicated to ladies FS at Skate America and felt frustrated by the names people given to the Russian skaters. Radionova transformed into Radio, while Tuktamysheva was called Tuk, Tut and also Eliza (the latter is like calling Benedict a Benjamin), etc.
I haven't seen anyone's names being butchered that way, Russian single ladies only. I thought it was because names are often long, but somehow Russian men's names are not mangled the same way. Pairs and dance are okay too. There was also one poster who invented 'Brangelina' which is also a kind of not cool, but that's just one example that I noticed.
So, why do you guys think this is happening?
Yes yes... Auto correct is my nightmare, IOS 8 is making it worse.And so many people are typing on phones and tablets, which is a bit slower, and likely to be butchered by autocorrect.
Longer names are apt to get butchered by my phone, particularly non-English names.
