There should be a homestead act for threads.FlattFan, stop double posting and stop wasting space in my thread with your misinformed posts.
Less predictable? How about Miki have more jumps, Alissa have more spins, Caroline have more spins. It's not better, it's dividing skaters into two camps, the spinners and the jumpers. It's more predictable because everyone knows the path the skaters will pick.It's not silly at all. It's better for the entire skating World. When skaters are able to create programs more fluidly and more personally tailored, the skating becomes more interesting, more varied, and less predictable. That is what figure skating needs.
I said "most people who watch figure skating only watch big events." Incorrect? Eh? You have other idea? First of all, spins aren't worth more points unless you're rewriting the entire base value for every single elements. Then that opens another can of worm. Why not give Alissa 100 points for her spin, too?Incorrect. First of all, spins (well executed) would be worth more points than they currently are. Second of all, skaters would be able to execute TWICE as many spins as they are currently allowed to, if they so desired.
Which part did I not make sense? Most skaters will choose jumps over spins unless they have spectacular spins and can milk the points on spins. This crazy system will be the dead of 3x3. Everyone will attempt 7 triples LP without a single 3x3.You make absolutely NO sense. The current rules only allow skaters to do 3 spins and forces every skater to attempt a total of 11 jumps (12 for Men) when you count all of the jumps done in combination. How does reducing the number of required jumps and allowing for more non-jump elements make it more of a jumping contest?!?
There's no logic to your system at all, not very well thought out, and I pointed out all the drawbacks. Why so defensive?
