But that doesn't explain why the +GOE isn't bumped up by the same percentage that the -GOE has been made more severe. I agree that by increasing the value of the quad the -GOE levels had to increase to stop people getting even more points for a failed quad, but by the same token a very good quad worth +GOE would maybe go some way to addressing those that think the quad is not valued enough.

I don't know, it would put a better emphasis on doing it cleanly to have
+goe and -goe equal. I think Goe's should be weighted on the points an element is worth. But they're not look at the spins a ftwrk vs jumps. Since their not so far it is quite balance. If they fix the quad +GOE they need to fix the non-jump elements to keep the balance.
I think a lot of men leave out the quad for the same reason ladies don't do 3/3 or 3A. A lot can't do them. Others have no consistancy. Nothing about risk and reward. A success rate of 5/10 is a risk. A success rate of 2/10 is either hope or stupidity. Skaters don't even do 10 competitions in a season. (I so happy when Kozuka finally got credit for rotating.)There was a lot of quad attepts last season(Ponsero, Alban , Brian, Armodio, Kevin, Kozuka ,Oda, Tomas, Evan, Johnny, Bradon, Ryan, russian guys I cant spell. ) I've only name 12 are sure there was some more. There will be lot more this season. If its not worth the risk how come so many skaters even bother to train it and try it.
