Watching the men's sp splatfest has confirmed for me that GOE needs to be recalibrated on quads to effectively reward those well done and penalize those that aren't.
It really is a travesty that a fall on a fully rotated 4s or 4t (even with a -1 fall deduction) is rewarded with .3 more points than a 3z with a +0 GOE (6.3 vs 6.0).
A 1.5 per unit GOE calibration would be more appropriate IMHO. Thereto, a perfectly executed 4s, for example, would accrue 14.8 points (10.3 + 4.5). A fall, however, would now be worth 4.8 points (10.3. - 4.5 - 1).
The risk/reward ratio would now better reflect the importance of quad execution.
Thoughts?
