I hope I'm posting this in the proper section.
Perhaps Mathman can do his numbers magic on this. When does it make sense for a skater to not tack on a combo jump? I understand the need to do so if you're performing a duplicate jump, but I find so many skaters add wonky double-toes or loops that make the overall combination less aesthetically pleasing and weaker in its execution. Doesn't the negative GOE cancel out the jumps in many cases? Can it have an impact on PCS?
I suppose this could be more of an issue in the short program with the required combo.
Am I the only one that finds these tack-ons tacky?
