The CoP system needs a good cleaning up. Get rid of the Skating Skills for one. I've asked coaches and judges what they mean and have gotten different answers to that question. It's blatant 6.0 system and just as vague with personal interests tacked on. When we are looking for a champion, the top ten skaters easily have good edges, etc. and that should not be the point of Skating Skills.
Is CoP really trying to eliminate personal interests by the judges? I think there is enough in the present CoP system to keep personal interests continuing. bleh. I could be a judge from Andorra and still hope that Brezina wins. There may be others that hope for Brezina. That's personal interests.
Can the CoP allow Expected Winners to be 'Held Up'? We've had a number of instances where they did and nationality was not the main reason.
IMO, the CoP has not eliminated human frailties, and probably no scorekeeping can, in judged sport.
What can be done about it? My only meek suggestion is the CoP must continue to improve the system from70% to 80% next year and with percentage increments each year thereafter.
There nothing we can do except swallow the results in a clandestine sport.
