Reform is needed, use the COP total points
While the ISU is using COP and its points system to score the GP events, they still rely on placings to assign points for the events. The placings system is a leftover from 6.0 and is causing this silly outcome where lower ranked skaters that place high at weak events come out on top of better skaters that place lower at very strong events.
If they used the total points from the events instead of the placings then the top six at the end would be a more honest reflection of the best performances skated at the individual events and it wouldn't matter where or against who they skated.
