I analyzed jump GOE in SP , and calculated standard deviation to see dispersion...
Wow, thanks for all the effort, Bighut. Welcome to Golden Skate. Post often, post long!
I think the large standard deviation for Chan's 4T+3T is easy to explain. Falls usually carry and automatic -3 GOE, and four of the judges went along with that convention.
But the element itself was one of the grandest 4T+3T combos of al time, great height, amazing horizontal distance (too much, in fact ), excellent speed going in, good body position in the air, complete rotations, It was a thing of beauty. Without the fall he probably would have got +2 Goes across the board, with a couple of +3's.
So the majority of judges took that into account in their total GOE for the element, which is quite correct according to the rules.,
