*Note, i am not talking about the choreographed sequence element. This is about the main step sequence element.
Instead of one step sequence, why not give a skater (or a pair team) the option to:
-Do the normal whole step sequence
OR
-Allow them to have two partial step sequences (in other words 2 'half' step sequences, with the GOE and Base Value of each worth half the value of a full step sequence) to allow for more variety and choice for skaters. With the inclusion of vocal music in singles and pairs after the olympic season (bring on pop music! :/ ), this might be a nice option as the structure pop music is quite tight and constrained.
Other ideas which the ISU can make to make skating more interesting/somewhat better (which were brought up in previous posts)
-Mandatory deduction of PCS for obvious mistakes and stumbles
-More elements with a fixed base value- or GOE only elements (Especially spins- if i see another butt spin....)
-Alternation between the Short Dance and the Original Dance each year in Ice Dance (it will be stilled called the short dance but it alternates between the SD structure and the OD structure)
