Thank you for that very interesting piece of information! I didn't know that, but it is quite consistent with the overall philosophy of the New Judging System.GKelly said:There has been a rule added after the first COP season specifically to avoid penalizing skaters for downgraded quads counting as triples for the Zayak rule. On the other hand, downgraded triples are still counted as triples for that purpose.
This thread has produced a lot of bombast along the lines, "The ISU can't tell me what to do, by gum!" Much heat but little light.
If anyone wishes actually to learn something about the judging system and how it works, instead of just blowing off steam, he/she could begin by reading this document:

Next, check out the files on this page:

Then you will know what you are talking about.
But no one will do this. It's much more fun just to shout out opinions than to bother to learn the facts.
Do you see the relevance of this change in the rules about quads and triples to what we are talking about here? Or is this another case of, "I know what Zayak means and the ISU can't tell me any different?"
