Actually, you don't even need +1 GOE.
3T -1GOE: 3.78
4T -5GOE w/ deduction: 3.75
3S -1GOE: 3.87
4S -5GOE w/ deduction: 3.85
3Lo -1GOE: 4.41
4Lo -5GOE w/ deduction: 4.25
3F -1GOE: 4.77
4F -5GOE w/ deduction: 4.5
3Lz -1GOE: 5.31
4Lz -5GOE w/ deduction: 4.75
3A -1GOE: 7.2
3A -3GOE: 5.6
4A -5GOE w/ deduction: 5.25
So as you can see, even negative GOE triples can outscore quad falls. In the case of the axel, even -3 GOE 3A outscores -5 4A fall!
Yeah, that is what we get with BV reduction plus bigger GOE deduction... tbh this is more discouraging towards trying harder elements then it was in 2010 and before. I get the constant splatfest are annoying, but it's falty judging that's the problem, not the rules. And the ISU never manages to strike a balance with their rules, they always go from one extreme to the other. Looks like it's a valid possibility skaters will go back to the times they didn't risk much, you can't repeat more then quad now anyway and quads are so risky.... you can already tell the times when people scream for harder elements to be rewarded and encouraged more will come. In either 4 or 8 years I guess
