It is kind of interesting how the new judging system has not brought the expected clarity into the judges' marks that were hoped for. The knock on the old system was, OK, judge number four gave my skater a 5.7. Where did that number come from -- it seems completely capricious.
Now we have thread after thread saying, "How was this step sequence called a level four? It seems utterly capricious with no connection to what happened on the ice. How did that judge come up with a 9,5 for this mess, it must be a conspiracy. How could judge number 7 give higher GOE to this skater's terrible double Axel than to that skater's excellent one? How could the tech caller miss this under-rotation, which was clearly 135% short? (No it wasn't, you're blind.)
