Forget about 6.0. Forget about CoP. Forget about any scoring system or criteria that the authorities have prescribed. Watch the following SPs and LPs and rank them based on actual performances, not on a skater's reputation or potentials, or on the published official results, or on what your dream podium would be. Remember the Long weighs twice as much as the Short:
Competition #1 (Japanese Nationals):
Yuzuru Hanyu: Long: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXX7mfeKJ_M Short: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSfxAYKqJNc
Takahiko Kozuka: Long: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azKlGGypwT8&feature=related Short: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQqDLc_BkKY.
Daisuke Takahashi: Long: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpWWi_6G2xo&feature=related Short: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziQ253eUi2I.
The CoP had the following placements:
1. Takahashi (96.05 + 158.55 = 254.60)
2. Kozuka (85.60 + 165.37 = 250.97)
3. Hanyu (74.64 + 167.59 = 241.91)
The 6.0 would have had this order:
1. Hanyu (4/2 + 1 = 3)
2. Kozuka (2/2 + 2 = 3)
3. Takahashi (1/2 + 3 = 3.5)
A "no-credit-for-a-fallen-jump" system would have had this order:
1. Kozuka (250.97-4.48 = 246.49)
2. Hanyu (241.91)
3. Takahashi (254.60-7.3-4.68 -1.97 = 240.65)
Competition #2 (Cup of China):
Nan SONG: Long: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORWZUPXIam8 Short: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZQtz52Dq74
Nobunari ODA: Long: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw0jGphMdRE Short: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXPXhuhGva8
Jeremy ABBOTT: Long: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G_5igglTsc Short: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svMXuvFwCuo
The CoP had the following placements:
1. Abbott (79.32 + 149.17 = 228.49)
2. Oda (77.65 + 149.46 = 227.11)
3. Song (72.72 + 154.03 = 226.75)
The 6.0 would have had this order:
1. Song (5/2 + 1 = 3.5).
2. Oda (4/2 + 2 = 4).
3. Abbott (3/2 + 3 = 4.5).
A "no-credit-for-a-fallen-jump" system would have had this order:
1. Song (226.75)
2. Oda (227.11 – 1.60 = 225.51)
3. Abbott (228.49 – 7.30 = 221.19)
Which system matches best your judgment on those performances? Or which system gets the final placement right in your opinion?
