And you don't need to check the score details before the yap!!!Kwanford Wife said:Around here, if you can't hang with the techies, you'd better be able to "color commentate" ~ I think of myself as the Terry Gannon of the Board... I don't know crap, but that doesn't keep me from yapping anyway!!!
Those are photos. Check em out on good TV work and any photos of I&B?Mathman said:

The question is whether Zhang/Zhang were overscored so that despite being 4th in the FS, they were close enough in points to capture silver.Ptichka said:But Z&Z did not medal because of FS. In fact, they placed 4th in FS, behind I&B. They won due to their lead in SP. So, I'd say that under the old system the Russians should have won, but under CoP it was fair.
attyfan said:If there were protocols for sheer hotness, how would you score 2002 Olys ice dance (Gwendal P vs. Peter T)?
No. But IMO not because Z&Z were overscored but because I&B were underscored. And if I&B got fair PCS, that still wouldn't helphockeyfan228 said:Were Z/Z really 2.80 better in PCS than Inoue/Baldwin?
Under ordinals (assuming placements in each segment were the same), the Zhangs would have had 1+4+4=9, and Pet & Tik would have had 3+2+2=7. So the Russians would have won the silver.Under ordinals, a difference of .01 and 10 is the same.
You're right, I just usually double the FS placement instead of halving the SP one. Amounts to the same thing.hockeyfan228 said:I definitely understand why Pet/Tik would have won under ordinals, although I don't understand the math. (I thought it would have been Pang/Tong 1+1=2, Pet/Tik 1.5+2=3.5, Zhang/Zhang .5+4=4.5).

Wouldn't that be an opinion? Wouldn't that mean you are questioning the gospel according to St. CoP?hockeyfan228 said:My question is whether the scoring was correct.

Joe, I think you are confusing "opinions" with "beliefs" or "judgments."Joesitz said:And the Caller is, and his quiet cohorts are, and the Judges are never wrong. Katerina Witt, Paul Wylie, Nancy Kerrigan are wrong but not the officials. Skaters don't mean much up against an official. He studied all one needs to know to judge. Yeah. :scratch:
No, that's not classic, that's confusion. Hockeyfan's'' question is whether the judging is following the stated rules, not whether the rules are good ones or bad.Kwanford Wife said:Classic!!!
Kimmie - How bad was the performance, if you think it was?
Fumie - Without doubling the jump could she have won?
Sasha - Will she continue to be gold worthy?
Stephane - Was the Caller correct in downgrading the 3A?
Joubert - Even with Stephane's downgrade, can he beat him without a downgrade?
Lysacek - Will he continue to be the perenniel bronze against all those skaters?
Joesitz said:I'm big on Lambiel, and he deserved his first place, but I must confess, if it had been 6.0, Joubert would have gotten it.
