Let's see if we can catch judge #1 at U.S. Nationals, the judge who gave higher scores to Polina Edmonds than to Gracie Gold in all five components, while all of the other judges did the reverse.
Judge #1's component scores for Polina: 8.00, 7.75, 8.50, 8.00, 8.50. Total 40.75.
Average scores for Polina, all 9 judges: 7.36, 7.04, 7.71, 7.36, 7.54. Total 37,01
Total deviation = +3.74. (Must be > 7.50 for an IJS "anomaly.")
Judge #1's component scores for Gracie: 7.75, 7.00, 8.25, 7.50, 7.50. Total 38.00
Average scores for Gracie, all 9 judges: 7.93, 7.61, 8.29, 8.04, 7.86. Total 39.73
Total deviation = -1.73 (Must be < -7.50 for an IJS anomaly.)
This judge is in the clear. If she (the judges are named ) had really wanted to push Polina at the expense of Gracie she could have given Polina 8.75, 8.75, 9.00, 9,00, 9.00, while giving Gracie straight 6.50s, and still not get caught.
