in my opinion, i think that the new system is totally overated. the purpose of the judging system is to promote skaters to be more artistic and more 'supreme' in figure skating, but i differ. b4 the new system, people were more artistic anyways and skating actually LOOKED good. but now, the skaters are too busy with the points that they just totally forgot about the essence of the sport. it is the combination of athletisism and artistry that DEFINES the sports. b4, skating was just more enjoyable to watch and all the best based their talents on consitency and deliberation. now, all the top skaters are thinking far too much and all the 'other things' are so 'important' that they totally lost the visual aspects of it. there are no interpretation, no expression (even if there are, it's all mechanical and not from the heart), no passion and no total focus. actually more points are rewarded to someone who did a level four spin/ footwork/ field move versus someone who did a level two spin/footwork/ field move but awsome positions. the change edge or torso thing on the three discipline mentioned b4 is also overated. just cuz u change somthing on the move doesn't necessary mean that it will be more difficult or innovative. ive seen a tv competition where all top five skaters were just doing the same thing but in different order, innovative? i dont think so. tha annonymous thing in the system is also overated. how do you know that it's annonymous? all the 'tv' skaters are pretty well known in the world. also, ive heard that jeff butle once said that in some events the judges could tap on their shoes to notify the downgrading or the upgrading. the tv had always said that the new scoring system was based on the judging contravercy in 2002 but so far it's just like a contravercy over a contravercy? i dunno, what do you guys think?
