A modest proposal for PCS

[Grin]

I've read a lot of complaints about program components scores.
I think more transparency would resolve most of the issues surrounding it.

The score is currently divided into five components:

- Skating skills
- Transitions
- Performance
- Interpretation of the music
- Composition

As for me the ISU should use these components instead:

- Jump difficulty
- Reputation
- National affiliation
- Attractiveness
- Crowd cheering volume

They're simple, straightforward, and easy for casual viewers to understand.

Haha. So, really just codify the traditional categories used for judging? I like it.

That's almost... too perfect. How to manipulate those kind of PCS ? :think:

Ok but if these were implemented I wouldn't even be mad because at least the scores could be fair and correct for the first time ever. Also, add the 'Coach/Club' category for national events and perfection will be reached.

What about being number 1, 2, 3 and so on in your own country?

Subcategory for National affiliation.

Coach/Club can be subcategory for Reputation

Coach/Club can be subcategory for Reputation

Or just instead of National Affliation when it comes to local events

Brilliant idea :agree: Then, the skaters are not confused anymore about following the rules or not

Well, after watching some more competitions recently, these are more the actual bullet points of how pcs is determined.

I only have one problem with this. What is the hierarchy of national affiliations not one's own? I mean, I'm American, so they get the best scores. But after that am I obligated to put Russians last just because they are Russian? And what if my all time favorite skating coach is Tamara Moskvina? I see problems ahead!

My favourite PCS proposal is up again
