I know this system is still in its infancy, but it will be interesting to see how (and if) the Code of Points will really affect the podium placements.

Already people are saying that Amber Corwin got screwed because the caller said that her triple flip was so underrotated that it was only a double, so she did not get credit for a triple jump, no matter what the opinions of the other judges were.
Actually, I think (though I could be wrong) that the judges do NOT have to do any calculating. They just punch in how well a certain element has been executed -- the computers figures out all the calculations.Joesitz said:I'm fascinated by the detailed scoring (see Paula's posts) that the judges must go through to calculate (yes calculate!) a final result. If they can do it, then I'm all for it.
I will rephrase that. I don't know what people who were at the event are saying about this. What I should have said was:Norlite said:Really? People are saying she [Corwin] was screwed? From what I've read from the people that were at the event, her flip was poorly done and / or cheated, and from people who are familiar with her skating ( I am not) that this is a common problem with her.

Given that Amber's triple flip was poorly done and/or cheated, should it count as a porrly done and cheated triple flip (credit for a triple flip, with -3 bonus points), or as a fairly successful double flip? Under the old system each judge would have to decide for him/herself. Now this determination is left to the caller and tech specialist.
