I was tossing around an idea in my head. What if "flutzes"/"lips" became actual ratified jumps or just given a standard value by ISU under CoP instead of them being considered mistakes on the lutz and flip? What kind of score would be deserved under CoP and what would it to do to skating in general? Should a skater be allowed to plan to do a flutz in their program or not?
Part of me thinks it would be interesting... say giving a flutz the same value as toe-loop, 4.0 (just for an example, or maybe lower)... and instead of looking at it as a lutz and deducting for the edge and negative GOEs, judges would have to instead look at how well it was done, even though it wasn't a lutz, and add positive GOEs if it was done cleanly, etc. Basically, instead of deducting from the lutz, they would be adding/subtracting from a score of a flutz.
Any ideas?
