Correct! I kinda forgot that was a change since he did it unplanned at Rostlecom. And again, something that works really well at the end.
It works amazingly well; such a highlight!

Also they have yet to skate the FS completely and squeaky clean in competition (or any FS in his senior career really; TEB was close, but he popped the second 3A). This season, Nationals was the closest, but that second 3A was still UR and two-footed. So yeah, it makes sense they don't fool around with that program.
I'm hoping it was supposed to be "funny", like a "joke" of sorts...
Unfortunately, in the conversation that followed under the Tweet, Phil said that he could not check it out immediately because of the time difference. He really thinks it could be a typo. Which it could be, I guess, but to tweet as your first reaction?

... I think he did have another tweet that listed Jason's quad as one of the ones planned, so I guess he is believing it for now.
In Phil Hersh's mind, that's more likely than 4T.Seriously? That's just plain rude
There are only two ways it could be a typo: the entire plan is a big ole typo, or he's planning to open with a 3T.
Wait, Josh is only planning one quad between two programs? (Not that I mind, but I thought he said he'd go for both after Nationals... please don't tell me he's still injured. :hopelessnessHersh does seem to take Jason's planned quad perfectly seriously (unless proven otherwise) in another tweet, IMO. It's the one right after he muses about a possible typo, and right before he replies to someone about needing to check later b/c of the time difference.

BTW: On 4CC program sheets from ISU, the 26 men have 29 quads (SP/LP) planned - 4 by US: @jasonbskates (1), @Adaripp (2), @joshDfarris (1)

It is possible he is moving his 3Z to the first jump, then the 3A, then the combo in the second half. If that is the case, then it would just be one type, i.e. 3Z to 4T, which is weird, but if you see enough quads in a row, maybe you get into a habit. Who knows. I actually think it might not be a bad idea for him. I think it was highly uncalled for as a comment. But I guess if Phill's goal is to be a tabloid journalist, he succeeded, we are talking bout him.
Speaking of which, Phil Hersh (@olyphil) just tweeted this:
"Was counting planned quad jumps on 4CC program sheets and @jasonbskates is listed for one in SP. That’s probably a typo; will check later"
Seriously

If Jason were to get a downgrade on the quad (to a 3T) would he still get credit for the 3F-3T combo? I don't know rules for SP.
Yes. It only becomes a problem if he actually pops the jump into a 3T. Then he would have to do a 3F-2T to avoid zayaking.

Phil does seem to have a dry sense of humor, so maybe?
In all seriousness, it probably makes sense, with further thought to put it in the SP rather then the FS, where they basically rearranged a whole bunch of stuff. The SP has pretty much been the same this whole season, heck, since last season. They probably know the max they can score is like 86-something and maybe they want a shot at 90?
But some have 3T-3T combos. That's 2 3T's. So how is doing a 3F-3T still Zayaking? Btw, how do you even pronounce "zayak" anyways. I have a feeling I've been pronouncing it wrong.
Zayak= Zy-ak?
For some reason 3T-3T as a combo is fine and isn't part of the zayak rule, but somehow, when you do two separate 3Ts, that is a problem.
