I read one proposal that suggested using the SP results as the overall competition result, but I think there are potentially more fair ways of picking GPF finalists this year. I would propose this:
Step 1: Assume 5 GPF results (awarding 0 points for TEB) and pick the top 6 in each division. All of these athletes would qualify for the GPF. No TEB participants would be selected.
Step 2: For TEB skaters, use the better of (a) counting the SP as the final result or (b) double counting the other event and ignoring the skaters' TEB SP result.
Step 3: If the results from step 2 would place the skater in the top 6, the skater is added to the GPF line-up, resulting in a total of 7 or 8 skaters in each division.
To me, this seems like a fair compromise. No skater would be bumped from the event who would have otherwise qualified, and no skater who had a great chance to move up (i.e. Patrick, Liza) would be penalized for not having the opportunity to if they were strong in their other event.
Are there other fair ways you can think of to resolve the dilemma?
