...and an explanation posted on ice network for why [Flatt's] PCS for this year's nationals was about 10 below what she would typically score in previous years for the same performance.
Actually, I think they finally got it right this year. In previous years, they were overscoring her in that category relative to the international judges.
But they should be consistent and not pick and choose their battles like this...dock "penalty points" or whatever you will. As annoyed as I get at conspiracy theories on Nationals judging, there ARE things that they do sometimes that confuse the heck out of me...
