I still haven't found other sources....which is weird if it's said it's so on the ISU bio....

Lucky you!! I loved listening to Judy Blumberg on the "B" stream at US Nationals as she explained the reasons behind the levels being given by the tech panel. Educating the viewer is so important under IJS

Now I really want to write something ridiculous about how that might've happened. Except I don't know whether or not it would actually turn out to be true. But it'd be nuts either way.

Is this about the French? It was also mentioned on the official website of Junior Worlds... http://jwc2016debrecen.hu/en/facts-figures/

You are correct.
Probably stuff they pull from the ISU bio.
Sorry for still mentioning it, it's just wow....so young and we had no clue until ISU bio.

Please bear in mind that the technical controller is one of only three people on the panel who are calling elements. The technical specialist, not the technical controller, is the primary person who calls the elements. If the technical specialist and the assistant technical specialist do not agree on a call, then the technical controller makes the decision. I also know Hal personally, and he is a person of great fairness and integrity.
Absolutely - which is why I think those recent competitors (not currently competing) but who know the recent tech rules should be on the TV commentating team. Judy certainly knows her stuff as she is an international tech specialist in ice dance.

I just got caught up on the Short Dance, and on this thread, and wow I missed out by not following all this live. Parsons pass McNamara/Carpenter, Loboda falls at the very end of her program, a probably-not-but-maybe secret marriage? I love ice dance!
In all seriousness, this year the judges more and more often seem to be rewarding the best skates at the competition and not necessarily the highest rated team. If this trend continues Boston will be an incredible fight. I'm looking forward to the Free Dance tomorrow more than the Ladies FS.

Totally.
We should have a contest to see who can come up with the best story to explain how those bios came about.
I'm sure that would dig up some real gems

They got hacked? Not a great story, but the question is which of their rinkmates did it? Maybe Zach Donohue?
