Chan actually had the 2nd highest LP score... (higher than Brian by .25)
^^I overpanicked. I completely miscalculated when we where going to leave for France and when this competition was. And then I found out that I still have my web-tv subcription. We leave on Sunday for France, I will even be able to see Ladies and Pairs tomorrow. Not sure I will do PBP though, the men are the only real thing.Thanks Meduse. I thought you were not going to see this comp in France with no computer, but you did and it's great for us to read the PBP.
I didn't say that Brian had a really good performance. You just feel that this is not a fully developped program. But he fought for it, the steps were energetic, the spins solid.Buttercup said:Medusa, having watched all the guys, should Brian's PCS have been that much lower than Chan's and Lysacek's? Brian did have the second-highest tech, and from your dexcription he had a good performance.

But PBP is now over. Good to see that the judges answer to the great Superchan and gave him the highest PCS with a basically botched performance.
I think the team scores are screwed up, actually. They scored only the LP in the total.
It looks like they updated it, since it says 10 now (for Nobu).I don't get this - why are they doing a SP when it doesn't count? Oda as the better Japanese skater should have 10 points - he was third overall -, but he counts with 9 in the team standings. That really sucks.
Protocols are available through the event page. I only have Medusa's (excellent ) PBP to go by, but it seems to me as though Brian and Nobu were screwed over, Chan was completely overscored and Lysacek got a World Champion bonus. Any thoughts from people who actually watched?

I think what killed him is -GOEs on three different jump elements. Were these warranted? I'm just having a hard time understanding how he got beaten by a guy with no 3A and 6 triples, not all of them clean, plus a quadless guy with two downgrades. Chan's overscoring seems more blatant to me, and I suspect Ant is right about the reason.Just by looking at the score Brian didn't place higher because the levels killed him...
