Yeah, they would have to choose a name that did not have a built-in negative connotation. They could call it the Cinquanta.

Combining the Lutz and Flip feels like we are losing a jump. Isn't that part of the point - to be rewarded for doing more jumps?
I think limiting the number of double Axels would help. But a skater could still do two triple flips, two triple Lutzes, two double Axels and a triple toe, and leave out both the loop and the Salchow.
However, if we just counted a double Axel as a triple jump period, for Zayak purposes, that would do the trick because then you could not even do two double Axels if in addition you repeated two different triples.

I would.
Looking at the current rules, I would do four flatzes (absorbing a couple of "!" calls if necessary) and win every competition.
