Well, level 2 is a technical issue and the technique is question in this instance is an important one (at least in dance) - the step sequence, I believe, correct me if I am wrong. In dance where technique is questioned, they turn to overall result or outcome and the essence of the effort/work. That's why the likes of Bob Fosse, Martha Graham thrived. Both defied the traditional concept yet were acknowledged as great. Technique was reclassed to accommodate what obviously was a legendary effort/stride/progress in dancing.

I see your point, but in ID I believe these technical issues don't necessary immediately make an impact. C/B are known to have very high technical scores because their coach is a great technician, so generally they get level 3s and level 4s. That's one of the ways they built the PCS, because they are known to be reliable in that respect. That's why I believe that the PCS wasn't immediately dropped by this one instance of level 2. If this keeps happening over the season, then the PCS scores might drop.
We're still early in the quadrennium & early in the season. It's obvious the senior callers are being tough all the way around, and that's good because it helps separate the top teams from the rest. Leaves things open for technical development over the next two years and for teams who really step it up.
The junior callers seem to have an entirely different philosophy. Interestingly, McNamara & Carpenter pulled in 4 level fours and a level 3 in their debut performance of their short dance at Colorado Springs this season within the junior field. Clearly the caller there wasn't too worried about figuring out who was on top. LOL. (M&C really had no competition there).

Why is it that I usually enjoy the lower ranked ID teams more than the top ranked teams. Wang and Lui were fun and those lifts were amazing.

I kept waiting for C/B's beginning part to turn into "I can't live...if living is without you". It sounds so similar.

They are a perfect example of a top ranked team I enjoy much less than a lower ranked team. What's wrong with me?

C/L are always high up on my list. Plus she looks like Rory Gilmore. Great programs this year for this team and hopefully good results.
I've had fun chatting with myself over here. :whack:
