Ok first off does anyone even UNDERSTAND CoP????? I know I don't and believe me I tried. For me the jury is still out...way out. After just one comp. I am not willing to say one way or the other. I do know this: There was nothing wrong with the 6.0 system just dirty judges and back room deals. You fix that you fix the problem. Why drastic change in scoring that only confuses skaters, coaches, judges, other ISU officials, and most importantly skating fans watching at home(Like many people have said "it's the fans that pay the bills of this sport) look at Baseball when the players and owners pissed off the fans. This system, even if it is to say in place still needs tweeking and even further explination to fans. I don't like adding scores, together. That just takes us back to the days of school figures when a champion could build up an insermountable lead. What's the point of competition at that point. If an skater would have to place 7th in the LP in order to NOT win the gold. BORING! I like excitment. I like the old system of top 3 control destiny. It was a certain promise of excitment. It seems to me that maybe a skater can jump from 6th to 1st and that is exciting and therefor it is good but it is also seems to be true that a skater can build up huge leads and that is very , very bad! We need balance, the old system had balance. The new system need to prove it does too before anyone is gonna accept it as law. Anyone here old enought to remember Trixi Scharba, and Sjoukje Dijkstra
