What are they for worlds with the Qualifying rounds? I think the QR is .4, but I'm not sure about the others.
factored placements?

Hmm. I thought about this a little more. It might seem, with placement factors of .4 for the qualifying round, .6 for the short program and 1.0 for the long, that the weights are
Qualifying: 20%
Short: 30%
Long: 50%
This is a little bit misleading, however, because there are two qualifying groups. So, for instance, Michelle finished third in her group, so she got a factored placement of .4 x 3 = 1.2.
But really, overall she was tied for fifth and sixth, so the true weight for her qualifying performance was about .218 instead of .4. (.218 x 5.5 = 1.2). The percentage weights given for the three components work out to
Michelle
Qualifying: 12%
Short: 33%
Long: 55%
The higher you place in the qualifying, the greater weight is given to that performance. For Sasha it is
Sasha
Qualifying: 14%
Short: 32%
Long: 54%
For skaters on down the list the percentages coverge to:
Generic skater
Qualifying: 11%
Short: 33%
Long: 56%
