You are golden again! I can finally get the idea, as long as I see pictures, it's easier to understand. Thank you so much.
What specific qualities does a 'polished skater' have?

she's not polished yet. As Sara, Tara and Oksana.Well now that we just finished crowning Adelina as the "gold standard" I suppose we should to look to her for what a "polished skater" looks like..... right?

In the error section of the SoV document, it lists "Lacking rotation (no sign) -1" as one of the deductions that a judge can apply to GoE.
Is this basically the "no sign" counterpart to an underrotated jump/cheated landing? Or does it refer to a jump that was visibly pre-rotated (visibly = in real time; I know they're not allowed to look at slow mo replays to determine pre-rotation), or both?
I apologize if this has already been discussed but why do Pairs and Men always seem to go first at major competitions (usually Pairs ends up finishing first)?

One more from the +GoE section - what is the difference between bullet 3 "balanced rotations in all positions" and bullet 7 "good control throughout all phases"?
A 2A+2A+SEQ is only worth 5.28 for a base mark. Sequences unlike combos are only worth 80% of the total combined jump value e.g. 2A is worth 3.3 so 3.3+3.3*0.8=5.28. If you did 2A+3T+COMBO you would get full value for both jumps 3.3+4.1=7.4 base value.
