I think a fall should immediately cap all PCS categories at 9.5. Two falls, cap it at 9. I'm tired of judges "saving" skaters, giving them 9.5s and 10s for errors that clearly adversely affect programs. It's like the judges have a predetermined score and they'll just dole it out regardless (okay, maybe 0.25 less if the skater falls 2-3 times). I'm also not one to accept the explanation that "the fall wasn't disruptive" or "it was just one fleeting moment in a 4 minute program". It's ridiculous that some skaters can go clean with excellent difficulty and get less components (especially things like Performance/Execution, than skaters with several falls).
I think it's time for ISU to use technology in their favour. If a technical caller identifies a fall and issues a 1.00 deduction, computer should also cap PCS numbers that judges can assign. The program used to score should return an error and tell the judge to score again. Same thing with a fall on a jump; the program should return an error message for a judge who is giving anything more than -3.
