I heard Paul Wyle say a couple of times Universal Sports coverage that spins held for more than 8 rotations adds a level of difficulty. Skaters are holding their positions more AND the scratch spin is seen more too!

Great Change! :thumbsup:

To me, that just means even longer stretches where the skater is practically sitting still on ice because they can't make themselves rotate any more. :sheesh:

Return of scratch spins is good though.

At least until every program has to end with them to get extra revolution points. :frown2:

most programs in the 6.0 ended when them because it put a type of exclamation point at teh end of the program

kinda like every pairs program ending with the oh so romantic death spiral.

The 8 rev rule was in effect last year as well and does NOT apply to a scratch spin.
