Interesting. IMHO the only discipline that has been hurt by CoP is dance.Maybe CoP should be kept for Dance, but the old system(or something like it, but better) go back to the rest of the fields in skating.

Oh, OK. I realize I misunderstood you at first. I wonder if such a double scoring system could work, though.Not really. Under the 6.0 system the technical grades skaters could receive would often times be HUGELY varied (and unfair). Look at Slutskaya getting some 5.9's for her 2002 Olympics long program in which she was not clean and did not do a Triple/Triple combination.
Given what she actually did, a 5.9 would be flat out IMPOSSIBLE with the current rules if you converted the points into the 6.0 system. Even with very generous positive GOEs on her clean elements, I think that a 5.8 would have been the highest possible score she could have received under the CoP grading system.
I like my idea a lot actually. I do miss the 6.0 grades, even though the new system has the potential to be more fair.

(I know Seanibu had an idea a long time ago about running totals... I don't remember the details, though.)
What if the point system was kept, but the numbers were converted into 6.0 grades?
Every decimal place within the 6.0 system would be given a certain score range depending on what type of competition it is (short program, long program, male, female). The judges would go through and grade all of the elements and then the total score each individual judge gave to a skater would dictate what 6.0 rating they receive. Each judge's individual 6.0 grade would be displayed along with the total amount of points the skater received for all the judges combined. The highest point total would still decide who wins the competition, but now the audience would have a better picture as to what is going on.
Hurray!

I'm just curious how would that work? Will 6.0 equal the highest point total possibe for short or long.
... Which means you need at least 42 points for a 6.0, 40 points for a 5.9, 38 points for a 5.8, 36 points for a 5.7, etc.
That means for no jump points at all the skater would get a 6.0 score of nearly 4, for doing nothing.
