Yes, I think so. If I am interpreting the rules right, any fall on a jump gets an automatic -3 GOE.nthuz said:You are saying that the panel's GOE for 3-axel with fall is -3 ?
However, if the jump is not worth that much to begin with, then the -3 is "factored." For instance, if you fall on a double Axel (a lesser base mark), then the judges enter -3, but the computer multiplies that by .7, so the effect is -2.1 instead of -3.
They have to do it this way, otherwise the negative GOE might be more than the whole element was worth in the first place.
Then there is the -1 deduction for a fall, but that's separate. As MZheng pointed out, you can avoid that by somehow keeping one foot in contact with the ice while you are sliding along on your butt, LOL.
