It's all a matter of interpretation of the skating and then of the judges' scoring, Mrs. P. Figure skating is after all a subjective sport. I don't care how it all breaks down re the numbers, but thanks for providing the stats which are always interesting, but yet don't necessarily always accurately reflect the actual skating, since again, fs is a subjective, and very political sport.
The new judging system actually makes it easier for judges to place skaters kind of where they want them to be. PCS scores are generally massaged. Numbers can always turn out to look as if, "Well that seems right." Actually, I do see some dumping and some boosting in the PCS. Some of it, of course, ended up happening to lesser known young skaters who skated great early, but as a result did not catch a break.

(I am assuming Ashley is pretty much a lock for first.)
if the FS is won by PCS rather than TES, hope that won't happen at FS.
