It does, if you have seen the performances and can note what transpired. I saw DelShoes' TEB and CoR performances. The FD at TEB may have been slightly better than the CoR performance, but except for the small mistake (foot down for a second on a twizzle) the performance level was good at both. Yet there was an 8.5 point difference between TEB and CoR. If you subtract 5 points from the TEB FD to account for overmarking, DelShoes took a 3.5 point hit for that momentary foot down.
By comparison, Dubreiul's near-fall on a twizzle at the GPF, a much bigger and more noticeable mistake than DelShoes', cost them less than two points over their NHK FD performance, and if you subtract out the 1.00 deduction for an extended lift, less than one point. BTW, Lauzon's FD twizzle mistake at NHK cost D/L only 1.5 off a home-ice inflated SC score.
One team gets hammered, and the other seems to be made of Teflon.
