I am always a little bit bugged by attempts to add together disparate quantities. Factored ordinals were OK because the things that were combined were of the same kind. But ADDING the base value (what did you do) to the GOE (how well did you do it) seems like apples and oranges.
What would you all think of the scoring conventions used in diving? There is the difficulty score and then that is multiplied by the execution score.
In figure skating it would work like this. If you do a triple Lutz, you start with a base value (difficulty score) of 6.0. Then you get a grade of execution score of 100, 90, 80, … down to 0 for a failed attempt. 100 means perfect. You score 100% of the element’s base value. If it is excellent but not 100%, then you get 90. 90% of 6.0 is 5.4. That is your score for the element.
